  • AVTAK!! I really Like this film. And NTTD is Just far too long and disappointing in many regards. AVTAK is flawed but has a lot of great incrediances. But most of all, it has a much better pacing whereas NTTD drags.

  • I still hope we will end up with a three year gap between Bond films. In the 60s 1 year was the normal waiting time for a new Bond film. From the 70s onwards it was 2 years until the late 90s (with the exception we all know too well after LTK). Thre…

  • I'm a little worried that the time between the next films will be as long as it was last time under Craig. It could mean that every new film has to be longer, more emotional and more bombastic than its predecessor in order to justify the long wait. …

  • In any case, I think Bond 26 has to be a great film to maintain the success of the franchise. I think each of the six actors' first films were pretty good and ambitious. Goldeneye and Casino Royale in particular were important to ensure the continue…

  • I'm concerned that the producers can't move away from the idea that Bond has a very long-term emotional relationship with a particular woman. Perhaps the womanizer that Bond was in the past is no longer considered appropriate. So what will that be l…

  • Well, Mr. White also ends up being forced into the boot of Bond's car, an experience he shares with Dominic Greene. I feel that in the earlier films the producers or writers managed to make the villains seem stronger and treated them with more respe…

  • I think that a villain is very often viewed in the light of the film in question. Le Chiffre is rated positively mainly because people like Casino Royale and the overall plot. Sure, Mikkelson does a great job too, but you could also say that the mai…

  • Something that has probably been mentioned already is SUSPENSE. Please make the Bond films more suspensefull and less predictable. CR was probably the last film with surprising character developments.
