I do find him a bit parodic in that clip if that makes sense (although I guess that's kind of the point, and he's definitely very charming but less in a Bond way and more in a Top Gear presenter way). I don't immediately get 'Bond' from it personall…

I suppose if you can criticise the films for jumping the shark is there any reason the same can’t be said for Fleming? As zany and fantastical as the films can get you also have plenty of oddities in those novels that are pretty egregious. Like the …

I think when you have long running stories that are told long enough, they’ll often become more fantastical or even self referential. It’s the same for Bond. I guess DAF was the biggest leap in tone from its predecessor at that point in the series. …

I’ve known plenty of people who’ve been educated abroad and their accent can depend on a number of factors (I spent a bit of my childhood outside the UK and both my parents are Scottish with noticeable accents. My own accent is relatively neutral an…

Oh I'm generally the same when it comes to fantasy fiction. I actually stopped watching Game of Thrones after a season (didn't hate it, justas never bothered to continue watching). I've only ever watched LoTR and The Hobbit films all the way through…

I wasn’t a fan of the opening text. The film itself does quite a lot of ‘telling not showing’ anyway. I like the opening image of Superman crashing onto the ice, but I think we really needed more build up to give Luthor’s plan and that fight weig…

Just came out of it and thinking about it over a nice pint from the bar across the road! Nice way to spend my afternoon off whatever way. Overall, I think its issues overlap with Man of Steel, but I think it’s better. But unfortunately I don’t th…

I’d be interested in that choice. I wasn’t a fan of Challengers but for what it’s worth I can imagine Kuritzkes writing for Bond just from that. Ultimately it’ll depend on what direction the new team want to take with the story.

I mean, the pictures certainly look like Harry Potter. That’s the point, isn’t it? I have no problem with different adaptations of books in this particular instance. If Chronicles of Narnia can have multiple versions between film and tv (includin…

I'm seeing this film tomorrow and looking forward to it! Suppose I'll see how much I personally enjoy it/what I think of it, but I've certainly heard good things so far.

Effectively she’s a silent partner for this franchise. I don’t expect her to say much in the short term, or at least not directly. At any rate it’ll probably be years before we get the full story of what happened.

Maybe to shake up that idea it could be a list of the 00 agents specifically (or maybe the villain gets access to that information when another 00 is sent on the initial mission/said villain kills that 00 in typical Bond film fashion. From there Bon…

Oh well, I guess we’ll see… personally though I’d be surprised if Holland was the actor. ATJ is more likely than him… But then again I suppose I’ve been surprised by Bond in the past, haha.

Some slight adjustments to mine over the last year or so: 1. From Russia with Love 2. Skyfall 3. The Spy Who Loved Me 4. GoldenEye 5. Casino Royale 6. Goldfinger 7. On Her Majesty's Secret Service 8. Tomorrow Never Dies 9. Licence to Kill…

I think it's just more accessible and 'easier' to create those 'pretty' images nowadays. Telling a story visually and doing it well takes a slightly different mindset. If anything that's what a good film school tells their students, and often those …
