There's been as many ghostbusters films since 2010 as there have bond films.

EON should adapt moonraker because honestly it's about time we got a villain with a healthy public image again. The only person in Craig's arc that had that was Greene and he didn't really have the presence to match. If they want to be topical, what…

The difference between Craig and the other actors is personality. Craig played it like a "blunt instrument", the downside being that save for a few exceptions he delivers virtually every line as emotionally detached and stoic. No matter how cool and…

Controversial opinion: Bond 25 would still be worse than die another day even if Bond didn't die. Last_Rat_Standing wrote: » NTTD would be a top 5 Bond film if Bond doesn't die. There i said it. The ending drops it to the lower teens.

Bad boys 4 headed for huge 52 million opening weekend. Is this the first sign that the boxoffice is beginning to turn around with deadpool and Gladiator 2 still to come?

If I were JK I would have kept everything quiet on the potter front, not done the cursed child or the fantastic beasts films, and spent the last 10 years plotting out a new set of potter films, set when Harry's kid is at hogwarts. By now they could …

Here's my one sentence pitch for Bond 26: the humanised, relatable Craig Bond in a TSWLM style out and out fantasy Roger Moore film. Now I Know what you're thinking. But that's Skyfall, surely? No, Skyfall is a story about the old ways are the b…

A very crucial lesson for EON to take on board for Bond 26: camp does not always equal bad. There is a way to stay on the right side of camp, where the audience goes along for the ride. You can have a fantastical, gallivanting, spectacle bond advent…

Bond 25 I consider this film to be this generations Die Another Day in terms of jumping the shark in many respects, but something I noticed recently is the film is structured the wrong way round. In order to have a true parallel with OHMSS (which…

Call me crazy, but I personally prefer the ending scene of die another day, as cheesy as it is, to any of the Craig film endings, because we actually see bond enjoying himself with a woman in a nice location. That notion seems so qauint nowadays, it…

I don't know why but Oct/Nov 2027 just feels right for Bond 26 to release. A new film to accompany the 65th anniversary just seems appropriate somehow.
