I really can’t dislike MR. It’s a bit daft (Bond seems to go from tenuous lead to tenuous lead a lot in this film) but it’s stylish and entertaining. Great villain too, and some very memorable scenes. I’ll also say the space scenes are among some of…

I think by and large it’ll be a blank slate. Maybe like CR we’ll get subtle/vague references to his past which are in keeping with the character and make sense within the movie, but likely not much, if anything like that. As for creating somethin…

I think even just for Bond 26 it'll have to be a restart. As others have said just to put some creative distance between the Craig era and this one it makes sense not having Leiter or SPECTRE just yet. Another major reason is I don't see the point i…

It's great, isn't it? Especially with the Bond theme going. It's one of those very slick movements only someone like Craig could do.

I can imagine it might be a bit too 'relevant' for a Bond film (I think they'd want to avoid Russia understandably). But it reminds me a bit of how Boyle spoke about his Bond script (something about it being about modern day Russia/a sort of Cold Wa…

Yes, he may have gotten M a bit more on his side by clarifying that he didn't actually shoot the Special Branch guy... but then again I guess he'd effectively thrown him off a roof and he knew it wasn't going to make much difference anyway. The M…
