1) From Russia With Love - Been my favourite since I was 8. Improves on the novel's plot I'd say. Performances, action sequences, editing etc. are all great. I enjoy it more and more every time I watch it. 2) Skyfall - Some script contrivan…

All this drama and still barely anyone watched the damn thing.

I'm a big fan of Skyfall. I get the sense that the result of this film is what they were trying to accomplish with The World Is Not Enough. Many elements of the two are similar - Bond getting injured, a more personal story, M getting more directly i…

NTTD is a beautiful looking film, but I've heard a few people say that while the cinematography is polished it lacks 'depth' beyond how sleek it looks. I can see what they mean. It's great to look at but it's all very surface level. I think that's w…

1) SF 2) CR 3) NTTD 4) SP 5) QOS At risk of breaking the no discussion rule, Craig's tenure is a strange era of Bond. I think it'll be looked back on as an era of experimentation for the series that got much right, and other things wrong. It …

1) FRWL 2) SF 3) OHMSS 4) CR FRWL is my favourite Bond film and I think that's going to be the case for a long time. Syfall, apart from some script contrivances which I can go along with, is a unique film in the series and I always get somethi…

That's a great fan made gun barrel, although the transition to the scene in the original is much smoother and I'd argue works better. The darker colour of the gun barrel is nice though, less cold. Regardless, I liked NTTD's gun barrel except for the…

Am I crazy or am I the only one seeing nothing in these pictures beyond the fact that Craig has different haircuts?

I'd say yes, Spectre was a disappointment. My biggest issues with it were that while there's some interesting stuff in it it feels like an early draft of a script that needed another rewrite or two. Bond and Blofeld being foster brothers, for exampl…

I think Aidan Turner is certainly an option, but it really depends on what they're looking for in the new Bond and the new Bond film in general. None of us know how any of these actors will approach the role during their auditions. I can see them…

Yes, it does seem like a bit of a faff just to get a title. Shame, 'Devil May Care' seems too good a title compared to the story/writing we actually got from the book.
