I really don't know what it is about Tom Cruise but I find him a weird screen presence. He's better in these sorts of films when he played younger, more impulsive and even slightly arrogant types. I don't buy him as a seasoned agent. I think it's on…

Seeing how Draco treated his daughter and what fate she eventually met (partly due to his attempt to make her happy no less) I'm gonna go with Kerim. And hey, if I were his son I'd be guaranteed a job in the family business. Doesn't seem like a bad …

The editing in QOS is legitimately interesting and really stuck out during my last viewing. I actually suspect many of the problems people have with this film aren't solely as a result of the editing but what the editing is trying to put together. …

Mescal's a wild card, but I do think there's something about him. I've said before his performance in Aftersun stood out for me not only because it was good, but because I felt he convincingly played a 31 year old with all the world weariness and di…

In fairness we are due for a remastered version of the original 007 theme.

I feel Dr. No’s the kind of guy who will give you dinner and then just kill you regardless. With Scaramanga on the other hand unless you get in his way or pose a threat I can imagine him letting you live.

I will say the one thing about Nolan is you never know exactly what you’re going to get with one of his films. So yes, I highly doubt it’ll be straightforwardly ‘fun’. Or indeed even fun at all going from his latest films...

I suppose that scene in Regents Park was cut because the idea of Bond struggling in private was already there during the pull up scene. It would have repeated that note one too many times. Plus Tanner’s in the middle of his exposition dump during Bo…

I do find that fight with Slate in QOS a wee bit too fast. I think it even took me a second viewing to realise that Bond had stabbed him fatally in the leg. Otherwise I like it and find Craig's physicality/the choreography well done. In a way, QO…

While neither are Moore's best performances as Bond, I'd personally take his efforts in MR over FYEO. I have a number of issues with that film and the writing of Bond anyway, but for me it's not necessarily a case of Moore delivering a more 'grounde…

I don't think it'll be Nolan. It wouldn't make much sense on EON's part. We're not in the early 2000s anymore, and Nolan's not a director at a phase in his career where he makes films such as Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, or even Memento. Why woul…

I'm unsure of the legalities behind this, but I think it's at least an unwritten rule that EON won't faithfully adapt TSWLM due to Fleming's wishes. As has been noted though there are bits of the novel that have made their way into certain films. …
