James Bond Movie Analysis

"The hostility of authoritarian political systems to individual autonomy (democratic government in aggregate) is thus one of the ongoing themes of the film...."

The short version of Spectre is that Mendes is doing the same thing he did in Skyfall, casting M16 as the villain of the film and using literary motifs and allegorical doubling (i.e. villains reflecting aspects of Bond himself) to suggest that it is the security state itself that the real villain in the film. The interesting thing is the way he engineers a happy ending by transforming the "license to kill" into a "licence not to kill", essentially changing Bond from the agent of death he is shown to be at the beginning of the film into a pro-democratic figure who abandons violence and in doing so gets the girl and what she thematically represents.

The books were better than the films anyway!

Which Bond actor was the most profitable per film (i.e. the average box office rating of an actor)?

Which actor was the most efficient (i.e. the average actor salary subtracted from the average box office rating)[0]?

Which actor turned the best ratings? Can we predict whether the next Bond film will be good or bad, based on data first from the Craig era films and then all the films?

The article doesn't even mention what is the best Bond film, i.e. the film that performs best when both rating and box office is taking into account. I find the problem interesting of how you add a box office amount together with a rating percentage to get a 'film score'.

This article seems to be more about the technical aspect and not such more about the results.

[0] Yes, I know there are five Roger Moore films where the actor salary is unknown, but then we could just skip Roger Moore or only calculate on the films we do know the salary.
