  • Mission Impossible Fallout passes 200 million at the domestic boxoffice, surpassing SPECTRE in the US.

  • Every tenure has an expiration date. I feel like they could have squeezed a fifth Craig film in 2018, but if there is another delay, and we don't get Bond 25 until summer 2020, then they should just recast. 2019 is already pushing it as it is.

  • I'm not just talking about continuity. It's possible that they find a better balance of humour after Craig leaves, but they will never go back to the happy-go-lucky romps of the 80's and 90's. Bond has to mean more nowadays, as the granddaddy of blo…
  • I'm guessing you two would much prefer Bond goes back to a series of fun standalone spy mission, and part of me dearly misses those days too. But there's no going back, we live in a different world now. Evergreen Franchises like Bond are so precious…

  • ClarkDevlin wrote: » He was playing a Bond pastiche, not Bond. The attitudes all showcased why he isn't suitable and wouldn't pass. Eh? If he was playing a pastiche, why do you think that's how he would approach the real thing?
  • Maybe its because he wasn't playing Bond in "this means war", it was a comedy. I don't know why people see Inception as Hardy trying to be Bondian, I never got that impression. Isn't he like the safecracker expert on the team? I also don't think …
  • I see alot of hate out there nowadays, but if Tom Hardy was ever became Bond, I feel we would be in save hands. Not my first choice, but at the same time, I haven't seen a movie I didn't like him in. Clearly has the masculinity to be Bond.
  • The fridge comes across like the "Indie meets Hitler" gag from the third film. Something that should have been left out entirely. That being said, I don't think it's the travesty some seem to. I like watching him think on his feet, and the fruit get…

  • The CGI looked terrible in parts.
  • The Indiana Jones trilogy is probably the best trilogy ever made, in terms of there not being a weak link. They are all to such a high standard, even if we differ about the order. It's almost sad in a way. If this kind of action films is what we …

  • Again, the most recent reports are of members of the crew (director, writer) leaving the project, not joining. I wouldn't be surprised if Craig was the next to go. I don't feel his heart was ever truly in it, and now he has a baby to think about. I …
  • I just love the Anything Goes opening of Temple of Doom.
  • Visitor1982 wrote: » For me, the Craig-era can't end soon enough. I've never accepted him as 007, though a very large part of the public has of course. Bond has never been as successful since Craig took over. As long as Craig is part of Bond 25, I…

  • I don't know how much longer this situation with Colonel Sun needs to go on. Either join the discussion (we are happy to have you), or leave if desired. The choice is his. I don't see the point in continually derailing this thread to mention how som…

  • Nolan would deliver a breathtaking vision of what Bond can be. EON are clearly out of ideas, they need someone to come in who knows what their doing. Who cares if he wants Hardy as the next Bond, there are worst choices out there. Just let him reima…

  • That's clearly just a little bit of text at the end to fill you in, which Baz forgot to remove. Most articles on the internet have something similar. Not worth calling his reliability into question over. If the article had lead with that, then it…
