Obviously until Bourne is dead and buried they'd never do it or it could be used against them. But 2 second unit directors in a row from Bourne, that's more than being "hot". These lads were hired to replicate the action they directed in Bourne. I…

If you don't believe there's any truth to the fact that the Bond franchise was influenced by Bourne, explain this: Alexander Witt, who was a second unit director for Bourne Identity, a highly popular and critically acclaimed action/spy series rival…

Bourne could have as much influence on Craigs Bond as The Wind in the Willows or Doctor Who and the Silurians.. Its just hypothesising.... Bourne is an action film trilogy, a direct competitor to Bond, while Doctor Who poses no threat whatsoever,…

There's as little confirmation from EON yet as much evidence that Bourne/MI's success affected CR than there was about Star Wars over Moonraker. You won't hear EON confirm either one, but it's no secret that Bond has followed suit to ensure survival…

I won't deny Bourne's influence on the recent Bond outings, as well as Batman Begins' influence for that matter. But I don't believe this influence is as important as often mentioned. Since the 70s, the Bonds have been known to look around, see what…
-
And @actionsteve - you didn't understand my point. I did not say CR was more Bourne than Fleming. I am simply saying they went back to Fleming because of Bourne's success. No-one knows about Ian Fleming, so why would they go back to such down-to-ear…

I strongly believe that without Bourne, B21 would have been with Brosnan. Possibly a CR adaptation, but evidently with Brosnan. Bourne's massive critical success made EON decide to recast and drasticly change the franchise. Without Bourne, it would …

My favourite Bond movie...

, EON faced the decision of accepting valid criticism by a franchise that risked eclipsing it had it not changed. EON made the decision of casting a believable Bond, capable of fast paced action and intensity. Craig's tenure will forever be linked t…

I have a natural animosity to Bourne due to the fact that with the release of each one Matt Damon slagged off the Bond films. No one disses my Bond. Considering Bourne was facing off against Brosnan, well Damon was right. Brosnan was shyte so the…

I have a natural animosity to Bourne due to the fact that with the release of each one Matt Damon slagged off the Bond films. So it could be Oscar material and the greatest thing since sliced bread but I will just naturally hate it. No one disses …

Can you imagine a technobabble enthused Smith getting overenthusiastic with an exasperated Dan Craig. Hes good at comedy too.
-
This is going to be controversial but if you are going to bring back Q then reboot the character as they did under Dan. And give the awesome Matt Smith the role.

Koskov is more like Klebb being the puppetmaster and to be honest he is not really a Kronsteen either. He is sort of this eccentric person on the sidelines with an unnatural fetish with the military. And is actually abit of a windbag as we know he w…

The villain in TLD is 'The Cold War' The villains dont need to be strong and to the fore as they need to be shadowy and in the background pulling the strings. Its a dirty little tale of everyone stitching everyone up. The murky world of internation…

i have no problem with Bond going back to India. The subcontinent was one of the highlights of OP and Udaipur was used brilliantly in a very evocative and atmospheric way. Mumbai is different as it is abit unwieldy and overcrowded. Which is very ci…

Thats good news. After years of Neasden car park doubling for Hamburg, Cadiz doubling for Havana and a backlot with white polysterene doubling for Icleland I love that the Bonds have gone back to the exotic locations and it doesnt get more exotic th…

John Cleese always plays John Cleese playing John Cleese. If he was cast as King Henry VIII he'd play him as Basil Fawlty. He was lucky there were other stinkers to take his whiff from away in both those two films.

I love Carole Bouquet. Shes reached legendary status in France. Shes done about sixty films. Its a shame she is only known over here for FYEO and Sex in the Shitty. Shes done some great stuff especially Lucie Albright. When I am in Paris in Septemb…

Why does Octopussy need to be reappraised? its genius.. One of the most imaginative, engaging, entertaining, exotic and exciting films of the series.. I thought the turnaround with Bond fans about this one happened about ten years ago...apart from…

While I adore Moonraker I recognise its problems. The camp humour and innuendo needed to be scaled down. Also the jungle launchsite and space satellite needed to be more solid in its reasons. There is no reason why a capitalist cannot have a privat…

I am sorry but I cannot agree that the cinematography is pretty unattractive. Its the most atmospheric of Bond films. There is a shot where they move to Corfu where the camera pans across the early morning mist to a church on a promontory with lovel…

My favourite Bond film of all time. Alot of it has to do with the Greek flavour and the Cold War atmosphere. I We'd had since OHMSS one bloated SFX fantasy after another and suddenly the horns were pulled in and we had a character driven story. Thi…
