  • I remember the level where Bond infiltrates the mansion/lab in America being rather difficult for some reason. Might just be me though. The final level too. Honestly though, the most I’ve struggled with a Bond game was Agent Under Fire during the…
  • Great stuff. I’m enjoying reading these
  • A balance is needed. The problem with Tom Hiddleston (this is not a criticism of him or him as an actor by the way, just an issue with his Bond potential) is that he is and comes across as a child of public school. It’s easy to imagine him meeting u…

  • A weird aside, but I kinda like how none of the Bond actors sound like they’re former public school boys, despite their voices being affected to some extent. Connery had his Scottish accent, Brosnan his slips of Irish between the Tran-Atlantic, Dalt…

  • Does this guy have a family member who works for The Sun or something? What a random article.

  • Y’know, I’d actually be kinda interested in seeing Daniel Craig in a Nolan film.
  • Brosnan’s not a natural vocal actor to be fair. And EON’s such a great game it stands on its own. Brosnan’s voice alone adds legitimacy regardless. Personally, from what I remember it was still better than his performance in TWINE, so…

  • There’s definitely something conscious going on with the whole idea of Bond/Silva being equals and Bond slowly getting back into shape/overtaking him. There’s that moment in the tube when Silva trips down the escalator, barely keeping his pace, whil…

  • I think he still needs to hone his humour and filmmaking choices to different types of stories. Neither Baby Driver or Last Night in Soho felt like they quite reached their potential for me personally nor packed the punch they should have done. B…

  • Well, he's not dark chocolate, but he's not quite milk chocolate either... He's chocolate cream (very appropriate considering his early adverts for Fry's).
