I agree @patb. I too think they can continue without him. What I'd really like to see is him taking on a mentor role in future entries and flexing his acting muscles. Even if he's less of a 'field' player, his screen charisma and brand recognitio…

It very much depends on what one wants from a Bond film. If it's box office then I'm sure they'd contend that they've more than delivered recently. I certainly hope it's more than that. I'd like them to get back to doing the basics well. Great st…

I'm glad I'm not watching it. Currently viewing Zimmer live in concert from Prague on PBS. Great stuff. Checking the Oscars on the laptop concurrently.

Perhaps @Fire_and_Ice_Returns. I'm one of the few who likes the fact that he didn't use the Bond theme all that much in CR/QoS. I think it forced him to be a little more creative and push himself, and his scores and melodies are the better for it.

I liked Kurylenko's acting during the Mathis death scene. I thought she showed her discomfort and sensitivity very well, without overdoing it. I wasn't overly impressed with her in the film, but that sequence stood out. I also liked the three TSW…

@bondsum, yes we're on the same page regarding reimagine. For me that does indeed mean just moving away from Craig's interpretation and onto something fresh, no matter what that may be. Stripping it back to the essential attributes would be fine, an…

Bond will reinvent. Nothing to worry about. That's why we have fans of all the eras and also of all the various six Bonds. MI may or may not be around in 10 years, but regardless we'll all still have the Cruise films to enjoy, just like we all ha…

Yes, Bond is an institution with a 50+ year history. One of the most bullet proof franchises which can withstand anything. Actors come and go as do trends, but Bond is forever. Perhaps Batman is the only other franchise offering that can come close …
