  • Elba has charisma but his acting is mostly just his "personality". He probably wouldn't play Bond as much as just do what he always does and get praise for it, we don't have many standards for our stars right now (Chris Pratt, Ryan Reynolds), but th…
  • I had this fantasy of the directors David Slade and Morten Tyldum taking turns doing grounded and lighter Bond films, respectively. Tyldum has been considered before and Slade has promise though he really needs help getting back to movies. I stil…
  • How dare a guy get old and lose his hair.
  • Saw it today, very good film. Pushes it a bit too much with the twists in one scene and with cliffhangers. Walker was a mostly useless character with no real personality.

  • I personally believe they won't go for a star, especially one with limited talent and questionable box office appeal. Also still wanting the role that they did not choose him when he tested for before, no matter how close he got.

  • chrisisall wrote: » Curious, is there a MI movie you actually like better than your favorite Bond movie? For me, the answer is no. No, but Ghost Protocol would get into my top ten if it was a Bond movie.
