  • I also quickly have to say that after seeing Tenet today, Robert Pattinson could definitely have been a great contender for the role, but obviously as he's now Batman for a planned trilogy, it won't happen. I know some people have their hesitations …
  • All fair @mtm, I just think my perception and expectations of the films are just different :) I do agree though that stunts in Mi don't make them bad, it's just personal preference.
  • So I just got back from the film. I had quite a rollercoaster of an experience. I agree with most that the film's standouts are the visuals, Robert Pattinson and for me, even Elizabeth Debicki. John David Washington unfortunately feels incredibly…
  • I suppose @mtm, but for me, I find that the Craig-era has offered more in terms of story and are more centred around that story, and use that as an exploration of the character of James Bond, and use that to sell the films. And yes the more recen…
  • For those Oliver Jackson-Cohen fans, this new still from The Haunting of Bly Manor is giving me classic James Bond vibes. I think he could be on the cards possibly. There are actors I'd prefer over him but I wouldn't be disappointed. Like I've sa…
  • I did really enjoy Fallout, but I'm not a huge fan of Tom Cruise and think the MI franchise is just a different breed of movie, and I think their success is for different reasons. One reason I don't want the James Bond franchise to become more like …

  • Can we put any details in spoiler tags for now? I know no-ones said anything big yet but I'm worried we might end up there. I am seeing the film tomorrow but I'm also thinking of those who can't see it or are not going due to their own precautions.
  • Can we keep all this Tenet stuff in the appropriate thread? :)

  • I actually think Callum Turner (besides his youth) is quite close to the original depiction, and Hoagy Carmichael.
  • I agree with a lot of what people are saying, but I do think still think we should consider the idea than actor can become Bond, rather than be it from the off. If that makes sense. So, for example, with the actors who are considered too boyish, sur…
  • The TCM reboot and prequel were certainly better than any of the sequels. Although nothing can top the original TCM, and I'm hoping this new film will capture that essence of the original. I remember when I saw the original it for the first time as …
  • It does seem like Reeves is striking that balance of realism and gothic to create something seemingly unique for this cinematic iteration of the character.

  • I should say quickly I don’t think he’s gonna be Bond at all. He’s Batman now, but I do think he had potential for it. And @Univex, probably not naturally as I don’t really imagine any actor while reading the novels, but if someone asked me to im…
  • Yes @DarthDimi the remake and its prequel are actually kinda good imo
  • He has definitely left that image behind @Resurrection, just watch anything else he's been in.

  • Lets just hope it was the right decision.
  • Haha I am indeed @DewiWynBond haha :) You should check him out in The Capture if you can.

  • If The Batman is really successful, I wouldn't put it past EON to go for an actor in his early 30s.
  • Univex wrote: » Meh, boys. Bond should be a man. Depends on what each person considers a man though, but I get what you mean in this case. Although if it wasn't for him already being Batman, I'd be championing for Pattinson too.
  • Hey @DarthDimi! Sorry to keep replying guys but I'm just very passionate about this. Firstly, at the end of the day, if an actor doesn't resonate with you. That's completely fine. For me personally The Lighthouse, Good Time, The King, and a film …
