Genuinely, CR and SF are some of the best high note endings I've ever left the cinema on. And yeah, they do it by design to create that kind of Bondian catharsis. I think most of the Craig era endings were great. Sometimes you just want the film …

I guess they'd be open to anyone from the commonwealth really. Even then didn't Goran Visnjic audition in 2005? I think he was dropped pretty quickly because he couldn't do the accent, but still. Just depends on if they think the actor has potential…

I'd say if anything the most impactful part of the Cuba scene is what comes before the fight. There's this weird atmosphere with the smooth music, the strange blue and gold lighting/colour palette, the well dressed but kind of odd looking background…

My only major issue with Richards is her delivery is a bit forced, including in that instance. It’s not that she doesn’t look like a nuclear physicist (a nuclear physicist can indeed be a stunningly beautiful woman, especially in a Bond film) but th…

Even TB and GF are connected to the main story in some form (he seemingly ends up at Shrublands due to getting struck with the fire poker and I suppose he’s on leave in Miami after the mission in Mexico). For Bond 26 I’d personally like it to be …

I think it’s rare that the lead actor can push a film without that financial potential into that realm. Look at Fall Guy’s underperformance recently - a big reason people thought it would be a bigger hit is because of Gosling coming straight off of …

I'd say that it's not about how illogical the gadget is in itself (ie. it can be something that's unlikely to work in real life, but does so in the context of the film) but is instead about how stupid it is when considered within the movie itself. T…
