  • and not P&W anywhere near any of it.
  • Well we'll just agree to disagree on that one, I couldn't stand Denbigh and the potential for that character to have been much more makes it that much worse for me. As I said his obvious intentions to Mallory were in the first scene they shared t…

  • What is this rubbish about Drumpf being anti establishment? Seriously are you really buying this crap? If he gets into the White House he'll end up as being a corrupt as the worst Presidents the U.S has had, Nixon mark 2. Doesn't his business p…
  • Whether it was established in the trailer or not Scott was bloody awful in SPECTRE. There is nothing wrong with him being SPECTRE but it shouldn't have been obvious to Mallory he was an enemy from the beginning, he didn't trust him from the get g…
  • The problem is they got the rights to SPECTRE & ESB and spunked it up the wall with Bond 24. Rather than going if we are going to do this we need to plan it out and get DC cooperating on going forward. Instead the thought of bring this el…

  • @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 I think you'll find before this film I have been one of the most vocal of how I've enjoyed this era. I had to put up with the constant bitching about Skyfall for the last 3 years prior to SPECTRE. I'll acknowledge the plot…

  • All The Presidents Men 1976 First time in a while but still retains it's power, as thilling as the best action film. Redford & Hoffman on top form and an outstanding supporting cast. Nothing short of a masterpiece and the blue print for typ…
  • Hasn't Tom Cruise got enough money? I know some of you love this guy but his control over his films and his annoying habit of infecting other series and films he shouldn't be anywhere near just makes me despise the pint sized grining ego maniac e…
  • SPECTRE barely been released a year I'm not expecting anything I think we've all got a little to greedy, Bond isn't Marvel and they don't announce the next film right after the current one finishes. I couldn't give a stuff about MI, I can't stand…

  • Rory is not given anything to work with, given good material he shines as an actor. His take on the monster in Penny Dreadful is quite possibly the standout alongside Eva Green's Vanessa. He also made a great Lord Lucan is a recentish adaptation…
  • I'm sorry but I'll take Lazenby's inexperience over Brosnan's version everytime. Brosnan is only underrated in fandom but outside of that he's considered one of the best of the series, I personally don't get it and never will. He always seems …

  • I'm sorry but witnessing what Fassbender has done like Hunger and Shame and also his terrifying performance in 12 Years a Slave, the only time Craig has got to this level is Our Friends In The North and that was a long time ago. You need to obvio…

  • Scott can be a good actor and his Moriarty is supposed to be OTT but here he was just terrible, the actor playing this part should have been more Mallory's age and not so a villain from the get go, another issue that SPECTRE had.
  • He's the one actor that could step into the role and we wouldn't be missing Craig one bit. No disrespect to Craig but Fassbender to me is a far more gifted actor and has played a variety of roles. Bond has made DC famous but I think it has als…
  • It depends on EON and maybe they think following Craig they need someone that is nescessarily not going to be a nobody. I'm not saying no don't cast someone unknown to the masses but if they are no other actor around is capable of this the way th…
  • As godawful as The Counselor was he certainly looked suave in the suits he wore but definitely Hicox and Lensherr in the first half of First Class screamed Bond. I remember thinking that the early segment of First Class where he's tracking down w…
  • Fassbender as Bond would be for me the only established actor I'd want to see in the role. The guy oozes charisma and he's the only actor I could see if they go down the established route rather than rebooting with another origin attempt (please…

  • I'm not sure what to think about this comment from Spielberg, while he's directed 2 of my very favourite films of all time I find his output hasn't set me on fire since Munich. That being said a chance for him to get a go at Bond isn't something …
