  • I think rogue one will suck - Just a feeling I have. Based on the trailers It doesn't seem to have any identity of its own. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a truly unique vision that was tampered with to align more with the other films being relea…

  • The problem with QoS is that it was actually a good story that got crushed. I didn't like how they crushed the story and choose to focus on Bond. The film is ruined by the fact that it is a sequel. There was no reason why it had to start where CR le…

  • Please don't be dark. Moody and atmospheric, yes. CR was perfect for tone. I don't want another "gritty" Bond film. I just got done celebrating the fact that that era was over. Not another downer, please.
  • yes, every Bond film has at least a dozen little redeeming qualities.
  • what about Soderbergh? I really love those Oceans movies. Or that guy who made whatsit with Emily Blunt and Dario.

  • I'm not against EON by any means, but I think sometimes they kowtow to fans desires instead of doing what is the best for the franchise. Look what happened when they caved to fans calls for Connery's return, or when fans demanded that Jaws return. T…

  • This is really interesting, I was just on Lee Van Cleef's wikipedia page, and it starts with this: "Clarence Leroy "Lee" Van Cleef, Jr. (January 9, 1925 – December 16, 1989), was an American actor whose sinister features overshadowed his acting s…

  • I think Craig may look better as Bond now than he did in 2006. I always thought he looked slightly bulbous back then, especially when he was leaning over the poker table in CR. Now he has visibly aged into a nice grizzled look and slimmed down sligh…
  • 2019 Craig's fifth and final outing, 2022 Aidan Turner's first Bond film. Fine by me, Aidan will be 38 by then, and look even more like Connery in Dr No. (Yes, I am aware that Connery is 30/31 in Dr No, but he looked much older)
  • Yes, good job @bondjames for always being so sensible and level-headed.
