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 unfortunately its issues overlap with Man of Steel, but I think it’s better. But unfortuna…

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 …

The nature of filmmaking is as time goes on technology and the craft develops. Between camera and post-production capabilities and cinematographers having so much to draw from visually, it makes sense that the impression is given that films look 'pr…

David Bowie as a Bond villain would have been really interesting, although I'm glad Walken played Zorin.

I think he's surprisingly good at playing villains or even anti hero types. I actually think he's a lot more interesting in films like Collateral, Interview With A Vampire, Magnolia, and yes, even Tropic Thunder. I think it's because he has that sli…

Thing is, I think it’s quite a clever film, far more so than Bourne arguably. It doesn’t default to being a basic revenge film, nor does it try to do a ‘becoming Bond’ thing. To some extent it even subverts the expectation of the former. Some of the…

It’s a very odd film in terms of editing. You really get the sense some scenes don’t have adequate footage. Other times the fast cuts and editing choices are very purposeful (I actually think one of the most annoying bits of editing in the film is t…
