Poor old John Glen, always getting a knocking around here. He was a great asset to the series. Bond could very easily have sunk without trace in the 80s, but he helped keep the show on the road, mainly. And IMO he produced some very good entries. FY…

Doesn't Bond shout at the other agent at the start of the CR free running scene because him touching his earpiece gives him away? So why is it okay now for Bond to have an 80s style mobile phone strapped to the side of his head?

I've been backing Germany from the start. Even when England were still in it.

The more you look, the less it appears to be him. Would be nice if it was though.

Never heard this before, but the guy in the film does have exactly the same outfit as Fleming appears to have been wearing that day. And the whole placement of this one man on the side of the track looks so contrived that it does make sense that it'…

The SF trailer contained way too much, but that seems the norm for most films these days - they hardly keep anything back. I guess they think that with all the info that gets leaked from set these day it's hardly worth maintaining any secrecy.

What about when they jump from the cranes? If that was real, then it's incredible. I just assumed it was CGI...

Was the free running sequence in CR CGI free? It looked quite CGI to me in places. It's a shame these days that you cannot always tell, so sometimes a real stunt is dismissed as CGI.

I am hoping for some really great proper old-school stunts. Non of this CGI rubbish.
