  • Some here not all have had enough of DC and are jumping on every bit of negative press about him. Yeah Daniel Craig is so awkward and a prima donna that another big director has signed him on and sung his praises. Most of this talk of DC not g…

  • Nobody knows here what that script contains so it's probably best not to get your knickers in a twist over information you are not privy to. There are definitely out there who want to undermine DC and put all the blame at his door and judging by …
  • No. 24 for me but I rate the rest of the DC era and they would be in my top 10. To me that says a lot, like Mendes should have done one and that should have been it. Although Blohauser/Brofeld will always be the factor and that god awful theme it…

  • She gets points for not giving him a 5th chance but that is just my view as I didn't like that era one bit.

  • I guarantee while EON is in charge you will not see a Hardy level fame actor regardless of age in the role. If a big studio takes over and that is a big if then that might change but while EON is in charge no chance. Sorry fellas I know how mu…
