  • I love LALD. It has great atmosphere, strong images (the voodoo scenes and imagery), colourful and often quite bizarre characters (The Baron, Tee-Hee, Whisper, even Solitaire is uniquely gifted), Moore is incredibly confident in the role for his fir…

  • Brosnan, IMO, wanted the role so badly that once he got it he was oddly constrained, caught between being a Connery Bond and a Moore Bond - pressured by commercial demands (after Dalton) and broad writing and directing (after GE) which failed to gi…
  • Both of the plane's wings are evidently ripped off (from pics) - another little nod to LALD - and perhaps LTK. Nice.

  • Er? Die Hard to Titanic? You are completely missing the point of what I said. Anyway, back to Spectre. From what I'm picking up on this forum it seems the re-writes have been very positive and will lead to a better film. Now what can be wrong wit…

  • Well, Craig was made to look worn out and weary (grey stubble etc.) for the for half or so of SF. But, like some are already commenting, he looks better than ever this time. Connery also seemed to hit this mark in his 4th film too.
  • So I think we can assume the new M has taken the old M's office in Mi6. Great pics. Craig looks very good and fresh faced as Bond. From what we're seeing I'd guess Bond's on top form at the start of Spectre - a contrast to SF in which he was left…
  • I agree Doubleoego. I think IF (?) Bond is pulled out of retirement in Bond 25 for one final mission it would be the perfect conclusion for his Bond. What a journey from CR to his final mission. Makes dramatic sense. And, as with SF, they are not tr…

  • Amazing Spider-Man 2 made less than the first one, and far less than the Raimi films. It's seen as under performing and a creative failure with the fan base, hence the planned 3rd film being halted and re-thought. But the Sony and Eon relationshi…
