  • In QoS, Felix was the most interesting and intriguing he ever got, and I’d certainly like his return like that, but again in moderation. I don’t need a buddy or dual story.
  • Yes, lesser know Euro actors, stick with. These rumors are really just tabloid click bait though... we'll see what Boyle and Craig decide.

  • Having just finished FAAD, I really enjoyed it... I didn't LOVE it like I was hoping to, but I did really like it. My hopes were CR/FRWL level high so that's tough to deliver on. It was on par with TM, in some ways a little better. I hope and exp…

  • And the prequels brought in younger fans... not an accomplishment when it degrades the series.
  • Agree with that. I mean, I love James Bond and can watch Moore duds, but not this dreck... they succeeded in making a diehard hate their product. Way to go EON.
  • People credit GE with saving the franchise... don't believe that. Yes it was a box office success, but if it tanked, it just would have forced them to make a better movie (as they should have). Instead they continued their downward slide in quality,…

  • The list is too long... to say I was disappointed when this came out what was an understatement. And while there were a few moments I liked, overall I hated it. I was embarrassed by it. I was surprised anyone actually liked it. But then it was a gif…
  • The only thing that would make me happier is a Fleming readaptaion, but I am very excited to have Boyle on board. It will be interesting what, if anything, he will be saying when interviewed now that he’s been confirmed... he’s very talkative and en…
  • Radioactive was the best way to describe Blofeld. No matter how much you could improve it, you can’t undo the stepbrother element. Boyle doesn’t need to start in the hole. Somewhere way down the road he can be reinvented. I hate the whole idea of pe…
  • Amazon US shows UK Cover version for sale... I prefer the new one, but like them both well enough.

  • shamanimal wrote: » Thanks for putting that up. It's a rather snotty review I think. Anyone else get that feeling? Yes, it was. It's criticizing Bond for what it is fundamentally. And to say it should be more adventurous like TSWLM (which F…
  • I don't hate either SF or even SP, BUT... Mendes was a mistake. I don't care how much money SF made. It was a mistake after rebooting Bond to project him into the future just to make an auteur statement. Same with making Bond a whiny little emo bit…

  • Just listening to those three clips I would say no and prefer to see Arnold back. That’s not to say he doesn’t have other stuff that I would say yes to but I don’t know his work. Barry was colorful, brash, romantic and atmospheric, as Bond should be…

  • Jeffrey Wright was on Colbert and Colbert mentioned Bond but didn’t ask him about it which was strange because he’s a big fan Danny Boyle just cast Ana de Armas in his romantic comedy. She’s too young for Craig though for those that are hoping...…
  • Good summer: Forever and a Day, Fallout and I expect solid B25 news.
  • It would be odd to cut them out entirely especially since it’s Craig’s swan song... I would still expect to see them, hopefully in minimal fashion, as a closing for him. I would add with hope, that without Mendes and his theater ensemble approach, n…

  • Craig in CR was good as McQueen. I’d add Munich too. Now McQueen is a legend because he had a number of great films. prime era Craig didn’t match that to be sure. Still Craig’s career isn’t over either...
