  • They 'dropped' the 'Commander'... Another reason why Babs is not fit to make creative calls. 'Removing' or ignoring the military/naval link Bond has was a poor choice on the part of EoN. It is part of what makes 007 the man he (fictionally) is. …

  • Newman obviously has no interest in the Bond series whatsoever, as his work effort for these two scores are the clerical equivalent of licking invoice envelopes whilst watching 'Wheel of Fortune' in the workplace...

  • If they want to go with another 'S' title, perhaps something along the below lines... as anything with 'Storm' in it sounds suitably grandiose & cinematic SLIDESTORM STORMCLIMBER STORMSLIDER STORMFINDER STORMWAKER STORMWINDER …

  • This is an important question. And yes, without a doubt, OHMSS is a Christmas movie. In fact, it was voted the n°1 festive season film by 'Christmas Annual' - the foremost authority on Yuletide themed light-entertainment.
  • And here I was thinking it was one pun too far... :> All right then - next up

  • What was the title song of SP again...? See, I've forgotten already /:) Get a proper tune for the next one that will actually ADD some value to the film, please.

  • It just has a grimy, studio-backlot kind of feel to it, for me. Apart from some of the Monaco & Puerto Rico shots (where the 'Cuba' exterior scenes were filmed) there is none of the 'grand locale' feel that the better films have. I know it was …

  • I'd agree that TB has some of, if not the wittiest dialogue of the series. And after FRWL I rate this as Connery's 2nd best performance in the role, actually.
  • Turner chap just looks so incredibly 'Irish' it's just not true :))

  • Both of them have moments of brilliance, plenty of good ideas, and even some world class craftsmanship - such as the cinematography in that SF skyscraper scene. The problem with both of Mendes' efforts is that they do not tie all these great moment…

  • Definitely one that seemed good when I first saw it in the cinema, but it has faltered since... the opposite of a Bond film that 'grows' on you. GE is just too vacuous. Then -8 now- 1 Tie - 6
