Yes it's true, I'm a huge fan of Moore as Bond in TMWTGG. I recommend those who may have ignored the film in the past (I'm sure there are many) to revisit it with an eye on his performance in particular. It's a great blend of everything one expects …

I don't know about others but I am quite happy that Bond didn't jump on the 70's deep realism conspiracy bandwagon. Looking back in retrospect, there is something larger than life, bizarre and outlandish about the early 70s films (all brought to us …

I don't care what tone or approach they take really. I just hope they make sure they do what they do well. They shouldn't try to be what they're not. If the writing isn't up to snuff in the one liner department or if their lead doesn't have what …

The next Bond actor will definitely have a theatre background. That is, I think, a given while Broccoli is in charge.

It has always been a top ten film for me since its release. I think I currently have it at 8 or 9 and it's been as high as 6. I prefer watching it to the more revered CR and think it's more balanced throughout its runtime. The earlier film suffers t…

I'm pretty sure the next actor will be reasonably famous. It will be a Moore/Brosnan style switchover next time imho.

Brosnan's problem was never looks imho. He remains a good looking chap who appears far younger than he is.

I don't like it as much as some seem to do on this forum, but don't dislike it either. It moves fast enough and is a decent showcase for Craig's rugged and gritty interpretation of the character. I'll always remember it as a film which was quite …

Indeed. It's possible to be a long time Bond fan and not be satisfied with the current state of affairs. The two are not mutually exclusive. 50+ years of fandom. Not everyone can be pleased. At least we reportedly have a new writer and directo…

Mendes was able to infuse SF with his skills for character building and drama. It was a 'Mendes Bond' film and that is why it resonated with the public. There was an authenicity there. They went all in. What does a 'Boyle Bond' film mean? Not bei…
