I will do that @ClarkDevlin and thanks for the recommendation. I'll begin my search for Danger Man tonight.

Glad to read that @Creasy47. When I inevitably encounter the trailer in the theatres over the next few months as a preview I'm going to close my eyes. I did that with SW8-TLJ and it worked well enough. Sure I heard the dialogue, but it was still fr…

In a way that's not surprising @ClarkDevlin. I really must get my hands on Danger Man. He's quite an actor and some of the clips I've seen online of the old black and white episodes look interesting with lots of Bond alumni.

I honestly can't remember anything about it @ClarkDevlin, except being a bit disappointed (I shelled out a bit of money for the blu). I'm curious to revisit it now that you mention it, and see if I can enjoy it. I forgot that McGoohan was even in it…

He's hit and miss for me. I didn't like a lot of his output during the 00's (loved his work from the 80s/90s) but since MI:GP he's regained my respect. Amazing that he's been at or near the top for such a long time.

That's a good point. Cruise suffered due to the Oprah 'incident' and I'm pretty certain that impacted MI:3's total box office. Hollywood has a way of trying to tear you down. Kudos to him for reinventing himself and coming back strong for the final …

For me it's all about the execution rather than the concept. I was aware of 'brother' prior to viewing SP and was willing to give the team the benefit of the doubt. I wasn't happy with the execution. I can pretty much forgive anything (including SF'…

They've gone with the fan cast when the series was shaky (Brosnan to follow Dalton's LTK after the long break). Arguably Moore was a sort of predictable fit too and perhaps that's because they weren't too happy with OHMSS's gross stateside (I realiz…

@TripAces, as with another poster before there appears to be a misunderstanding in what I'm saying above. This isn't about RN vs. SP in absolute terms. We all know that SP was the more successful film. That has never been disputed by me. Bond is …

Top 10 is solid @Mendes4Lyfe. I would have preferred a little more love for TSWLM & TB but still, it's a good list and a bit different.
-
From what I can hear, I'm loving Powell's score. Truly. A bit Bondian with that rising motif. Not a bad trailer. Love the flick of the holster catch too. Vintage Solo.

Hmm. Attempts to remake (in combo) two of the greatest films of all time is not a task for fools. I've no doubt that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is no fool, so I'm hopefully optimistic, but also a little wary.
-
Hardy wouldn't be my first choice by any means but I wouldn't object to him. Like Craig he is a very good actor (I happen to think he is far superior and more versatile than Craig). He is almost chameleon like, and so if he got the job (which is unl…

All it takes is one film to change the flavour of opinions on this thread. That's how fickle we've all become in this instant gratification age. Having said that I have certainly detected a point of view among my friends and family that Bond is a bi…

I'm sure he'll get himself in shape for the role as he usually does. My concern is more with CGI effects. In SP there were quite a few instances where he looked rather airbrushed (particularly around the eyes where they seemed to be attempting to hi…
