  • Fast Five is still the pinnacle of the franchise, and I think the vast majority of fans agree, even if they have other personal favorites. The film is an absolute trash masterpiece, the culmination of everything good about these movies. The charac…

  • It's true that the scene with the two government agents at the beginning of Raiders is absolutely brilliant. It might be the best pure "exposition" scene ever filmed. I'm not sure I can quite agree with the comments that the film itself is compl…

  • M in the hotel room in QoS: "Why HER, Bond?!!"
  • I thought the back-to-back 7 & 8 were always intended to be the big finale for both McQ and Cruise? I don't have a source so I apologize if I'm misremembering, but I could have sworn that was their outlook going into this project.
  • I can certainly see the appeal of all four of the films, as each is fun in its own way, but to me LW3 and LW4 seem like part of an entirely different series. More slapsticky, more broad humor, no stakes, no danger, no edge. The first two have mome…
  • My favorite part of the Bond theme is (pardon me if I'm using this word wrong) the refrain - the part two thirds in that kicks into high gear. I've been saying for years that it's a shame composers don't use it more, and along comes Zimmer who not …
  • 1. SF 2. CR 3. NTTD 4. SP 5. QoS Overall, I think DC has had a very solid run. Two undisputed classics in his tenure, which is pretty impressive. (Of course, now that I've said that, people will start disputing. LOL)

  • This is shaping up to be quite the action sequence. I wonder if this will be the big "main" action set piece of the film. If not, I wonder where/what that setpiece will be.
  • This is a fascinating thread, and I've loved reading everyone's take on it. If I can put in my two cents (or two pee, if I'm stopping by England)...I just found this definition of "classic film." It's probably not perfect but for our purposes let'…
  • I echo the sentiment that I never had any idea that DAD's PTS was only a minute behind TWINE's. As previously stated, it's probably because it's all one scene. TWINE goes from the quick shootout/building jump in Bilbao to M's office to following K…
  • Even though I absolutely love Kleinman, until recently my favorite title sequence of the DC era was QoS. I also found it incredibly underrated, and all the motion and movement with the sand was (IMO) super cool. However, I must say that I LOVED th…

  • I finally saw it last night and absolutely loved it. This surprised me a bit because, considering how polarizing the film is among the fandom, I wasn't expecting to love it; I was just hoping to like it. But wow this thing MOVED and I never felt i…
  • I saw the film last night and absolutely loved it. To be honest, with how polarizing the film is with so many people, I did not expect to love it. I just hoped to like it. But there truly wasn't a single minute I didn't thoroughly enjoy, and I ha…
  • I'm loving these articles and interviews. I have been checking this thread every single day for YEARS - it's the first thing I do when I get into work every morning. Now I don't know what I'm going to do. This happens every time a Bond film is re…
  • It’s currently pouring rain here, and while I was drinking my morning coffee and looking out at the torrential downpour, I had a sudden, random question: Does it rain in NTTD? I don’t recall seeing it rain in any of the trailers or promotional mate…

  • I'm seeing the film next Thursday evening (SO PUMPED) but my feeling on it is that this is the end of Craig's era, and the end of his James Bond, full stop. So I don't think they can do anything to/for/with his character that's going to bother me a…
