A part of getting more under 30s will be, in part, based on the actor, no doubt. But I don’t think Styles would add much in this area. As I said in the other thread a lot of his fan base won’t necessarily be Bond fans, and I don’t think his involvem…

Ultimately, I think they made the right decision bringing SPECTRE/Blofeld back during Craig’s run rather than leaving it for later, even if I don’t think it was handled that well. With Blofeld there needs to be a deeper element to him and Bond’s ant…

I suppose we tend to forget that the implication is that they only knew each other for a few months (if that). They’re not actual step brothers or anything like that. It’s seemingly a coincidence that they even get involved with each other this far …

Like I said, I think Craig always put in good Bond performances. That said I think CR wins pretty decisively for me here. It helps that the material gives him more of a chance to play different sides of the character, and I’m generally more a fan wh…

Are scripts longer nowadays though, at least in terms of Bond films? Just a quick search of the published Bond scripts show that Dr. No's page count is 134, From Russia With Love's is 150, and GF's is 151. By comparison scripts released for more rec…

Yes, I can’t see what another few films in a sort of QOS style would have added. I don’t think it’s something general audiences (or indeed most fans) would have wanted from Bond at the time. I disagree about what some people here say about SF - f…

I’m personally glad we had a bit of a time jump into SF. I think seeing Craig’s Bond in his initial 007 years through the Vesper story was best. I’m not sure what more films would have added (I doubt it would have been successful for the franchise/C…

I like Ritchie, but I’m not sure if he’s right. I feel his action scenes, while often fun and great, can feel a bit too stylised for Bond (I don’t mean in terms of concept or stunt, but simply in terms of how they’re shot and edited if that makes se…

You can’t please everyone, and just because different creatives are brought on for these films and stories/ideas adapt over time, each film in a Bond era will be slightly different. Anyway, I’m of the opinion that there’s no perfect Bond era. Despit…

Poor Ricky Jay having all his card tricks edited out is probably a big one (I mean, Gupta’s pretty bland, but they could have at least kept one scene of him throwing cards or at least integrated it into the script better. I dunno, I can imagine him …

I mean, it does seem like he was pretty open about his thoughts on taking the role (of course it does seem like he was genuinely unsure early on about taking it). But there doesn’t seem to be any veiling. I mean, I could be wrong, but I suspect i…
