  • It's a bit of an oddly dismissive thing for a producer to say, alright. Again, I didn't mind Solo, but I've yet to feel compelled to rewatch it.

  • The interplay between Hulk and She-Hulk were the only things that stood out to me.
  • It depends on whether you think Bond is a dislikable character fundamentally. The sweet spot is having a character that has numerous obvious flaws (as Bond does) but still manages to make us root for him. I think NTTD (a film I don't like as much as…

  • The idea of Apocalypto meets Predator is more exciting and interesting the more I think on it. I hope they really go for it. A film like this will live and die on its leads, so I guess I just hope the leading character(s) aren't weak sauce. The othe…
  • Christian Bale, great actor. Not sure I'd ever want to have a pint with him. He might have a pop at the bartender.
  • The first film is iconic but I find it quite dull in parts, strangely enough. I don't know if it's budget or acting but it has lots of atmosphere but very little momentum until the last act. I still admire it, I just don't love it as much as some of…

  • I wouldn't mind Bond receiving his assignment away from London. It'd be nice to see M out in the field - have the gag be that he's "on holiday" or something like that. Just little touches that make their relationship feel real.
  • I love all the Friday's except 1,2 and 5. The series really found its grove with 6.

  • Hardy would be fine if he played Bond like Ronnie Kray, but my instinct is that he would play him closer to Reggie - he can't seem to help but weird up any performance he's given in the last decade, even the guys who are relatively straight-laced on…
  • To be fair to the Moore era though, it was almost always the same faces in the briefing room and they were all very high ranking Government officials. MI6 in the Craig era always struck me as more like MI5 has been presented in media over the years …

  • You know a song is perfect when the imagery still comes to mind when it plays. I'll never not imagine Michelle walking down the staircase into the ballroom while the song plays in the background.

  • It would be nice to see all the Double-Ohs in a room again though, akin to how we saw them in Thunderball. Maybe have a plot where we're following Bond as normal, but with all the other Double-Ohs working other angles of the same assignment. They me…
  • Fair enough @ProfJoeButcher. I don't agree with your views on any of that - especially the justification for the plane thing being "well he chased someone up a crane" once, but that's okay. Whatever floats our respective boats. Venutius wrote: » …
