  • The Man With The Golden Gun The first thing I noticed this time around is how good the (opening) M and Moneypenny scenes are. They really do stand up to the best of the early ones. Moore, Maxwell and Lee are all excellent. Moore himself never falte…

  • Thank you @royale65 . Not really write ups, just a few points that occurred to me. :) Good point about Peter Hunt missing from DAF. He was the X factor in those earlier films and his contribution can never be overlooked. And the word ‘bizarre’ has …

  • One thing you notice immediately is that Martin Campbell looks about 50. Certainly doesn't look too old to direct another Bond movie.

  • You Only Live Twice I'm an unapologetic fan of this one, and I never tire of watching it. Probably stems from my childhood when this film above all the others captured my imagination (for obvious reasons). And not just me. Down the decades com…

  • @royale65 . First three similarities absolutely! LALD and DN have so many parallels, as do FRWL and GG. And as you say GF and Spy are the first true fun films for both of them. Thunderball When you look at the positives - the cinematography, …
