  • Whether we liked or not the comedic aspects of the 70s Bond films, they're the ones who made the franchise survived, those are necessary. DAF, for how much I disliked that film due to being a disappointment of a follow up, I couldn't deny the suc…

  • Che Che was Tracy's bodyguard, he's always looking out on her on Draco's demands, that's why he's in her room, but Bond was happened to be in that hotel, so Che Che finally confirmed the suspicions especially after that beach scene earlier, the figh…

  • Goldeneye would be my pick to introduce the new Bond. TLD was more like of being unsure about who will actually play the part (whether continuing the direction where Moore had left off, or change the tone entirely, funnily enough, Brosnan was con…
  • I'll admit, with the exception of Dr. No's death himself, I would argue that the book is better than the film, as in all of it. Although I'm not sure if Honeychile's nudity would've been acceptable even back then, Bond films like GF and TB have b…

  • I think it's still because of the events after CR, Bond was almost not in himself after it, he was betrayed by his lover, for me, I think Bond felt that he was used and taken advantage by of Vesper, and he was emotionally damaged by that, that he ne…
