  • I think the writers are capable of creating an interesting Bond girl themselves. Just take a look at the better female characters from the Fleming novels, see what made them interesting, and try and apply it in a way that's new and works for the sto…

  • The Joker placements don't surprise me, although the Batman ones do. I think it's more the fact that the Nolan films are rather popular. Perhaps this is just me applying my own personal opinion onto it too - I thought Bale's performances as Wayne in…

    in Where does Bond go after Craig? Comment by 007HallY April 2022
  • Mine's a bit weird. Best way I can describe my image of Bond in the Fleming novels is a cross between a young Christopher Plummer (as was mentioned previously) and a young Oliver Reed, with the scar and blue grey eyes of course.

  • I actually don't mind the lab scene (although seeing Hugh Dennis pop up is a bit... well, odd, but this is very much a British viewer issue). I wish Obruchev had been killed off earlier in the film as his comic performance wears thin during the clim…
