I think it’s worth saying that pretty much all superhero costumes when not actually in the context of the film look ridiculous. Without that sheen of colour grading, SFX, good camera angles etc. it’s literally an actor in a rubber costume. Just look…

Depends on the actor. It's a bit weird writing about hypothetical contenders I like such as Harris Dickinson in the actors thread who are more or less the same age as me, even if they're said to be on the younger side! Craig was in the role for s…

Bond still beats him easily though. It just catches him slightly off guard that Green goes into a frenzy with the metal bar. I really don't remember Bond struggling during that fight apart from that (certainly not when he grabs the axe). It's a b…

At risk of sounding like a hypocrite/going back on what I said before I actually think Bond escaping the hotel is one of the coolest moments of the film! So I can’t hate that scene. Can understand the criticism though. I think what exemplifies it…

Cavill is capable of putting in decent performances with the right material and a director willing to guide him a bit. I don’t think Campbell would have performed a miracle and have gotten him to give the kind of performance Craig did, but I think h…

My issue with QOS is that Craig's Bond is a little bit too superhuman in a rather fake and outlandish way at times. It's actually not dissimilar to SP and NTTD in my opinion - for whatever reason we have a Bond who is almost indestructible and unfla…

I’m in two minds about it. On the one hand I think we need to see Silva’s injuries to visually show what M has done to him/give him that parallel to Bond. On the other it’s very elaborate and it takes the trope of Bond villains having facial deformi…

Dr. Who's a funny one. It has a solid fan following, although admittedly some in this fandom seem to despise it simultaneously and are very vocal about it... which is very common for fandoms I guess, although some seem outright nasty/dull anti-woke …

To be fair to Campbell, I genuinely think Brosnan's performance in GE is his best as Bond To clarify, Brosnan is, for me, a very charismatic actor with a lot of star quality, but he's not the most consistent actor in the world. Give him material he …

I don’t know for sure, but there may have been an element that Campbell simply didn’t fully know what a Craig Bond would have looked like and he could imagine Cavill more easily at that point. It kinda makes sense. After all they’d played around …

I think EoN will do what they’ve said - that’s to say prioritise British/Commonwealth actors but won’t say no to auditioning an actor who isn’t white. The films themselves are more diverse than they have been in the past, and I think regardless of t…

It's tricky finding those directors who I guess 'get' how to make a Bond movie. I'm not even sure if there's any way of gauging it from their previous movies (I mean, would anyone have guessed that Lewis Gilbert - a director known for making often r…

Haven’t played either in years, but both are great. NF I think would just about win from memory (I have a lot of fond memories playing the multiplayer with friends when I was young).
