Some great points! Personally I would like to see the following: 1) I don't think they should bring Blofeld back but introduce a character influenced by him. So someone mysterious and who is not revealed until the end of Bond 25. They should also…

It's already made $20 million more in one week then the latest Bourne movie has total..... If anyone is comparing.

The pre-title sequence and the last 5 mins of QOS alone are better then 3 of the 4 PB movies. And that's not including the mesmerizing opera scenes and some other wonderful moments. QOS is flawed but you know what... so was Bond and maybe that's why…

If they are referring to the latest (Oct) edition of Empire there is a quote from Mendes saying he would seriously consider doing another Bond but it does not confirm he IS doing it. The exact quote is, "Mendes, who says he'd "absolutely consider" d…

If 32 is a "kid" does that make my 38 a teenager? I suddenly don't feel like I'm getting old anymore...:-) Though Cleese did a respectable Q with Brosnan he would stick out like a sore thumb with Craig, especially if he kept that same style. We'r…

Any chance of a link to Michael Wilson on BBC Breakfast that will work for outside the UK? Would be greatly appreciative...:-)

Just to clarify, I believe CR was the first Bond movie to be nominated for a BAFTA (or Oscar) that was not just special effects, music or sound etc. It received a Best British film nomination, Best Actor Nomination and Best Adapted Screenplay Nomina…

Just received my copy from Amazon.com, it arrived in 2 days! And to Canada no less (thru Pt. Roberts). Going to grab a cup of tea and start on it now and will comment further as I read through it.

As discussed in many forums my hope is that Christopher Nolan does the next Bond movie. Being that Nolan and Mendes have mutual respect for each other (I think they may even know each other quite well too) I think it would be great to see them alter…

They are not long (35 pages) but very well laid out with big pictures. Also, no ads except for the inside of the covers. Just received my first issue last time (#14) and I really liked it. I would say it's worth it, if your collecting SF stuff.

Ordered!

Craig by a country mile! The problem with Brosnan for me is that he never established his own character and style for the role (I know some will disagree here). I thought in GE that he was at his best because I think he just jumped in the role an…

Bounine wrote: When Brosnan delivers the one liners it's cringe worthy. He's so unnatural it's not funny. He would also over act at times. He had a flair for melodrama. I prefer Lazenby to Brosnan. Part of the reason his films did so well are…

The Castle of Death is a bit odd, I'll agree there but Oddjob is just a unique character. These two things or the odd thing don't in my mind make Fleming "eery", "strange" or "bizarre benign".

DaltonCraig007 wrote: Vancouver007 I don't think we've read the same novels... sorry but whenever I read Fleming I always picture Moore Bond, I find the books more comical than some day here.... IMO DAF '71 and TMWTGG '74 are very Flemingesque, mu…

I'll also add that to me FRWL and OHMSS are as close to Fleming's Bond as your going to get on the screen. And as good as those two movies are I'm not sure 22 of those would have sustained the series as long as it has. Maybe I'm wrong but the fact t…
-
DC007, do you find FRWL comical and fantasical? Because the book and movie are bloody close and neither comes across as anything but a good, grounded espionage story. Fleming did not change much from this formula so to call the books OTT is your int…

Boy one thing you can't argue with is your wild and vivid imagination...:-)

I'm half way thru FRWL having started a few months ago with CR. My favorite so far is MR, what a great novel! Though I am really enjoying FRWL at the moment too so I'm eager to see what the other rest of the book and the other novels bring, exciting…

What a great review (though a little long winded in places) and he lays out exactly why I love QOS so much! It is going down as the most underrated Bond movie and I hope in 10 years more people will come to appreciate it like some Bond fans do.

I would have to go for: 1. Casino Royale 2. From Russia With Love and.... 3. For Your Eyes Only...:-) I think I'm the only one to select this one but I love it!
