Why is the spy film series "007" so popular?

I think there are three reasons:

1. Timeline issue. From the perspective of the original works, these four movies show the period when 007 just became 007. This has been explained in "Casino Royale". James bond was promoted to a double 0 after killing the second person. These four movies can be said to be the prequels of 007. Those fragrant clothes, fragrant cars and BMWs have not yet fully integrated with his personal temperament. And he himself has not fully mastered the skill of being among a hundred flowers without letting any leaves touch him, such as falling in love with Green. This is actually a deliberate arrangement of the movie, deliberately retaining some of the foolhardy recklessness and recklessness. It was also particularly obvious in the episode "Casino Royale" when chasing the bomber at the beginning.

Then why this kind of recklessness and foolhardy is welcomed by the audience, we have to start with another movie.

2. Market selection. In fact, other answers to this phenomenon have also mentioned that the 007 series has entered a standardized process before this, and the audience's expectations for the movie are similar to watching an acrobatics. 007 is becoming more and more depersonalized. Anyway, he just makes beauties and kills bad guys. Many of the answers recognized that Brosnan himself, the handsomest, was tired of the role.

At this time, "The Bourne Supremacy" was another turning point in the spy film. The entire series is also the best spy film series in many people's minds. And this model of flesh and blood that affects the audience's emotions completely reverses this genre of films. At the same time, the cold and tough action style also completely returned, which had a huge impact on the subsequent casting and tone setting of the 007 series.

3. Female audience. The original 007 classic gentleman image is a symbol that has inheritance significance with chivalry, and is shaped more from a male perspective. Telling women that they should like such a man (of course this is not to deny the rationality of a gentleman’s code of conduct). The current appearance of Daniel Craig is more of an image chosen by women, with strong muscles, a stern face, and gushing hormones. Although it looks rougher, this is the image of a man that women want.

These three points add up to make Daniel Craig more popular.
