I have Baron Samedi in 17th spot. Sure, he's a very memorable villain in a film full of memorable villains. But he doesn't really prove to be a very big threat to Bond in the end. He talks the talk, but that's about it. The final confrontation betw…

Welcome aboard @NavyGrenadine nothing wrong with a Rum Collins. I shall have to try out your recipe. :-bd

Having had Hugh Grant in TMFU I don’t see him appearing in Bond 26 as M. However he does have a working relationship with Heyman, so anything is possible. He’s very charismatic and likeable so it wouldn’t be terrible to have him appear in a Bond f…

I gotta say.I’m not seeing it.

I’d change the ending of FYEO, even though both most certainly qualify. Remove the Maggie and Dennis scene. Putting the then reigning Prime Minister into the film, albeit via actors (of course) dates the movie, as the energy crisis of the 70’s has…

Despite the box office, I don’t think MI:DR was a lesser film. It still has the same high production values, location work and set pieces. Looking at the trailer there’s nothing to suggest that MI:FR will be anything other than a great follow up, a…

14th spot for me. She starts out as a strong (literally) and fearsome foe for Bond to go up against throughout much of the film, yet turns ally at the last minute to thwart Zorins plans. It’s not the worst thing to happen in a Bond film, but I wish…

I have the naughty professor at #9. I think he's a great character, Anthony Dawson plays the part so well. He's sleazy, charming, at times overly confident and also anxious. But at the end of the day, he's evil. From seemingly deceiving Bond at hi…

I’m the one who had Gobinda at #5, not a huge surprise. I’ve always enjoyed the character, he’s imposing and a real threat to Bond. Although he’s the henchman, he also has subordinates under him. He really gives Bond a tough time throughout and get…
-
Whilst it’s still a very good set piece, I don’t think the hand glider scene has the same impact of the ski jump from TSWLM. It could’ve become quite boring had Bond displayed the union flag in the next film to. A reminder of Bonds Britishness sho…

I would argue that, “Double sixes. Fancy that!” was effortlessly cool. The way he keeps his eyes trained on Kamal was perfect.

@Mendes4Lyfe has his finger on the pulse. Yesterday it was Cuaron with a 2027 release, today maybe Cuaron in several years. Who knows where we’ll be headed tomorrow
-
Wonderful trailer as expected. Of all the little flashbacks I didn’t notice one for MI:2
-
I think we need something really powerful as a title for Bond 26 Not a novel chapter
-
Who wouldn’t want a John Williams score for a Bond film? As of now he’s 93 years old. It would be an amazing day if he were able to score Bond 26.
-
The biggest thing I got from the extended look was this looks like a fun film. Maybe harking back to Donner's Superman. A new version for the Superman franchise with Krypto, and autonomous robots to assist the man of steel. Either way, it looks ep…

Nick Nack came in at 28th for me. He’s a memorable villain for sure, but he’s not a threat to Bond in any way. He’s just an annoying little man, who is accompanied with an annoying little theme tune of his own. Not a character I’m particularly fond …
