  • Awful film. Everything related to McClory post-TB is either directly or indirectly connected to Fleming’s demise. I can’t watch it without feeling a seething resentment for both him and Connery (who simply wanted to stick it to the man who made h…

  • I recognise the hatred for SP, but as the question is termed, ‘moment’, it’s the CGI tsunami surfing for me and it’s not even close. If the question was ‘direst concept’, then fill your boots with SP.
  • The first film of a new tenure is always exciting. Trouble is, if it’s a belter the hype train is generally derailed by its successor. Likewise, if it’s lacklustre the goodwill is somewhat diminished (as is the case now). That’s why I take them as t…

  • MR is the height of the whimsical/fantastical Bond; almost a sub-genre in itself. On those terms, it’s pretty much a masterpiece.
