Nothing brings to mind the concept of ultimate cool more than the legend of James Bond, the debonair international spy who lived a jet-setting, dangerous life, amidst exotic settings. What was most exciting about these movies were the GADGETS, the secret agent toys that were mostly pieces of fictional technology. What could be better than the watch on the right, for example, that could capture pictures of villains everywhere; or the jet pack below that jettisoned James to adventures galore. Finally...the Aston Martin that pretty much could do everything from shooting bullets from the trunk, or laser beams from its side mirrors, to converting to a submarine, just in case James needed to get where he needed to go via the ocean.
The technology in these movies may have been mere props, but they managed to inspire the imaginations of techies everywhere, and have kept the appeal for 007 alive for many, many years.
I've never seen any of the Bond movies, but i've heard they're good. I think viewers have moved on from movies like these and are more into the scary/ thriller movies.
