Yeah, it's very subjective. But if it's any consolation I really don't think there have been truly any 'bad' Bond films. There are some I don't find reach their full potential or have technical/creative flaws, but if the Bond series had had any trul…

I dreamt last night that while rewatching GE there was a scene where Brosnan’s Bond does a spontaneous break dance that I’d previously forgotten about. Apparently it was just after the train scene and he does it in order to prove to Natalia that he’…

I like the idea of using a smaller budget to create limitations/incite some creativity. SF I think did that rather well, to the point where I presumed initially that it cost more than QOS. I think ultimately though it depends on the Bond adventur…

I think a lot of it depends on how much the director understands Bond. As I've said in the past Mendes seemed to 'get' what makes a Bond film work - the mixture of tension and heightened reality needed for action sequences, how to mix modern element…

I'd say the script isn't the strongest, but a big problem is the casting, 100%. Renard actually gets some great moments - his introduction with the Devil's Flame thing, holding the flaming rock, and having his goon kill someone unexpectedly, is all …

I mean, the way these things usually work is that each new Bond actor's first film carries over elements from the previous era, but the new Bond themselves tends to be distinct in some way from the previous one. Perhaps what we'll get then is a m…

Not casting Javier Bardem, or Jean Reno, or an actor like this for Renard. Carlyle’s a great character actor and plays the psychotic Begbie in Trainspotting well, but he’s completely miscast here. Renard should be this agent of chaos, a man who is s…

It’s a bit like Bond’s drinking in recent films. I suspect we’ll see two sides of it. On the one hand both these vices are a part of the character and point to a man who is under the presumption he won’t live into old age, so indulges where he can. …
