Well, in both the film and the book it's about killing Bond and causing a scandal for the purposes of revenge. There's not a major difference in that regard and the film maintains the book's plot point of Bond and Tanya being filmed in their hotel r…

I can’t see the Bond films working quite as well had they gone with SMERSH over SPECTRE. I think it would have been to the detriment of FRWL especially (the fact that it’s SPECTRE playing both the Russians and the British gives it that extra layer o…

Well, Craig and Brosnan pouted too (and yes, even Connery too to a lesser extent with his duck mouth). Moore could come off as a bit smug to some, as could Brosnan. And it’s not unheard of for a Bond actor to look scruffy when not doing a film - mos…

I think regardless of whether it’s Reddit or here, we’re talking about a minority of people who watch Bond films. And to be honest I’m sure you’ll get differing opinions even within that (ie. Some are QOS defenders, other vocal Brosnan fans).
-
I actually don’t think QOS’s script is that bad at all. Dialogue and one liners are better than CR’s in my opinion. It’s got some great moments too (Bond realising the dead don’t care about vengeance is a wonderfully Fleming esque moment). For al…

-
To be fair I think it’s a bit like seeing QOS as a revenge film. I’d argue it’s no more about that than it is about Bond becoming Bond. I think it’s actually one of those things some people misunderstand about the film. It’s simply a continuation of…

Executives at Amazon: ‘Who?’ Looks like James Nelson-Joyce but with blond hair. Never heard of this guy.

To be fair I think Bond tropes are what make the films what they are. Sure, CR played around with the elements a bit (although for what it’s worth it did do the typical ‘set up and pay off’ you get with gadgets with the defibrillator, and there was …

In this very particular corner of the internet/Bond fandom... I guess... for the moment. But it's anyone's guess if he'll get the role or how he'd hypothetically do during an audition. I'm a fan of his though. I'd be happy if he were Bond.
