  • Really enjoyed this on the last watch. I used to prefer TWINE but I think this jumps ahead. It's a real classic Bond adventure without too much silliness. Great PTS, amazing score and very well paced. I love the way Bond detests Carver, even t…
  • Diamonds Are Forever Have been enjoying this more and more. Connery excellent and so many great scenes. Blofeld is miscast but I do like his temper tantrum when Bond takes control of his Bathosub! I think I now prefer this to LALD and TMWTGG..…

  • By the looks of the trailers I'm seeing too much CGI. I'll reserve judgement until I've seen it, but too much CGI aliens and I'm walking.

  • I don't care if its another couple of years, as long as its a really good film. I remember seeing the Goldeneye trailer and being well chuffed that Bond was back, but it didn't feel as though it had been six years.

  • Fellowship of The Ring Haven't seen this long version in many years and it really is an incredible piece of filmmaking. Everything here is top notch. Acting, direction, photography and production design. Also a great score from Howard Shore an…

  • Have always liked this film a lot. To be honest I don't think Denise Richards is a total miscasting disaster. She does fine with a very underwritten character. Plus she's up against Sophie Marceau who is a very fine actress indeed and is excellen…

  • Logan Oh boy was this excellent! Apart from seeing the trailer quite a while back I kept myself 'cold' for this film, so I hardly knew anything about it. Really glad I did because this film offers up something special in the Superhero genre. …
  • Tomorrow Never Dies First time I've watched this for a while and bloody enjoyed it! This really does move fast and keeps the attention with it's admittedly silly plot. After Spectre it's nice to see Bond out on his own doing what he does be…

  • The World Is Not Enough Has always been my second favourite Brosnan after Goldeneye. Still think its a decent enough Bond film. The PTS is excellent, even though it's really long. Just love that little boat and Arnolds score really stands o…
