No, I don't think it would have been a fitting ending to Craig's run. The most obvious reason is because Skyfall is a stand-alone film (ok, SP kinda retconned it and seemed to imply Silva was working for Spectre in some way, but whatever) and after …

Hard to tell only going by his performance in Industry (although my instinct is probably not) but my opinion is that most 25 year olds shouldn't be playing Bond, and Lawtey simply comes off as slightly too youthful. Keep the character/actor early 30…

I really hope we don't get Bond giving his political opinions. The British Empire line works well in Fleming but it'd come off as bizarre in the context of a modern film. Same for the Women's Rights thing. Ideally I think Bond should be a blunt inst…

I'm not even sure if Bond needs a celebrity 'auteur' director. Even Mendes and Fukanaga are a bit more chameleonic in their work and their films are certainly not as immediately distinctive to their name as Nolan's or Wright's are. It's the same …

My issue with Evans is that his films are made up of heavily choreographed fights. I rate him highly as a director but during the last two films of the Craig era we started to get a lot of this - Bond becoming oddly superhuman, taking down four guar…

I remember writing a while back that no, Poulter probably isn't a candidate for the next Bond... Lucy Boynton as a potential Bond girl, on the other hand, is not unlikely.

Yes, certainly a character like Pussy Galore in the film is far less problematic through the lens of today than she is in the novel (although this is more likely due to films at the time not wanting to explicitly write a bisexual character). Still, …

Might be a bit too Mission Impossible though, no? I think changing up things in the films is fine going forward, but it still has to be true to the traditions of the series. Anyway, we've had M going into the field quite a lot during the early half…

"As far as girls, his type is 'looks underage.' I don't know much about the things he's done to women but I'm sure they are horrible. The way he treats all people (other than celebrities) is horrible. I once saw him dump his cut fingernails in anoth…

I really hope they don't try to redesign MI6 in the same way they did in QOS. The weird interface system looked like something out of Star Trek and the whole place looked like an Apple store. M's office especially should have a sense of familiarity …

The issue with Hardy is that he's both too famous so won't be committed, and is also perhaps a touch too old (at least for the rate at which Bond films are currently being made). Having seen Legend though there are definitely shades of Bond in there…
