Hmm, let's see. Summarizing my thoughts further as they currently stand, I'd say my thinking pretty much mirrors what a lot of other members have been saying. I don't think we'll ever be able to come to a consensus, but my most recent thinking is as…

I agree @Pierce2Daniel, it's a wonderful looking film. I've mentioned this previously elsewhere, but this became one of my favourite Bond films quite suddenly when I was a teenager studying for GCSE's and under some pre-exam stress. One cold, dreary…

Fair enough @Fire_and_Ice_Returns, and I can understand that. I thought it was quite overhyped but perhaps despite this my expectations were reasonably low as it was a Netflix film - so I enjoyed it well enough. I wouldn't go out of my way to recomm…

The fundamental issue I have with the acknowledgement of time and continuity, in the interests of giving a visiting actor an 'arc', is that it increases the risk of issues and problems with the next iteration. That is what has plagued several other …
