No.4 has grown on me over the years, I didn't like it that much at the time. But something that all the movies up to Nemisis had was good characterization and they took their time to build these good characters. That's something that is sorely lacki…

I realise I am going against the grain but I love Star Trek 5. Yes it has its problems, some of which are Shatners fault( the lumpen comedy) , some of which are not. The constricted budget didn't allow Shatner to use ILM so the effects are lousy and…

Just finished watching my latest purchase the Masters of Cinema blu- ray release of The Quiet Man. A Ford/Wayne classic movie. What a stunning restoration of this movie. For so many years now this movie has been shown on TV in some poor quality vide…

There have been times when I have thought oops that didn't really work terribly well, the overt humour of MR, the Leathal Weapon stylings of LTK but I never thought of them as a nadir just a bad mis-step along the way. But watching Bond kite surfing…

Endless scenes of people tapping on a computer screen solving all the heroes problems with one key stroke. One of THE most annoying tropes of modern movies. How did heroes survive out in the field before the computer nerd

Yes it cannot be denied that the cinema will always win out on screen size and I will always choose the picture house for certain films. But I have gone from a once a week visit to a once in a blue moon visit. Bond, Star Wars and Hateful Eight have …

I have been a cinema lover for 40 odd years, but I now believe if I could afford a good large screen TV( 55in at least ) and a quality surround system I would not go to the cinema again. Just think, no talkers, no popcorn munchers, no flashing mobil…

People seem to automatically think that the series will carry on with the next generation of family. Maybe the family won't want to carry it on and could decide to sell Bond to the highest bidder. Or BB could lose interest in producing Bond and just…

My favorite? In MR having just jumped off the cable car and sitting on the grass looking the worse for wear. GOODHEAD "anything broken" BOND "only my tailors heart" . Classic Roger Moore.

Diamonds Are Forever gets a lot of hate on various threads on this site but it holds a very special place in my heart. It was my introduction to Bond and the first film I ever saw in a cinema. It made me a lifelong Bond fan, a lifelong Connery fan a…

How about something a little left field. I thought Suzanne Bier did a fantastic job of directing Night Manager. Cool style, great clean clear visuals and very classy. Just what Bond needs. And a female could give an interesting perspective on the fr…

I've always been a great fan of The Walking Dead but this last half of season six has made me feel really uncomfortable. It seems to becoming less a series about killing zombies and more a series about killing rival groups of humans. Its leaving qui…

I was all for Hiddleston until I viewed Night Manager now I think sadly no way. Charm, charisma certainly, but in the fight scenes I'm afraid he looked about as threatening as Will Ferrell in Elf. Sure he can bulk up a bit but its not about that its…

If Spielberg and Ford can make up for the abomination that was Crystal Skull then I'm all for it. And without Lucas's involvment I hope that's what they can do. It was a real thrill to see Ford back in action in Star Wars Vlll and I see no reason wh…

Here is the plain and simple truth. At this moment in time there is no-one who is completely right for Bond. Lots of the names mentioned already would be OK but nothing more than OK. Hiddleston has charm and sophistication but not the toughness, Elb…

Slight mistake in last post. I did of course mean to spell Walton Goggins. Apologies

Talking of Tarantino, the last movie I watched was his latest The Hateful Eight. Typical Tarantino really, great characters, superb dialogue, actors performing at the top of their game. Standout performances for me being Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason…

I am sorry but just cannot join in with love fest for Mad Max Fury Road. For me it was by far the biggest disappointment of 2015. Where was the lean, mean, adrenaline fuelled action of Road Warrior? Well certainly not herd. This was more Beyond Thu…

I remember reading somewhere that the tank chase sequence in GoldenEye was re-scored by John Ottoman because Serra's original version wasn't up to scratch. As that is a great piece of music I say give him the whole film. If Newman goes good riddenc…

After SP ( which I thought was great ) I would be cool with Mendes returning a third time. But what the productions really need more than anything is some new writing talent. May I suggest Mark Gatiss. An excellent writer with an inate understanding…
-
What the hell is a supposed Bond fan doing when he say's he hope's SP underperforms at the US box office just to get rid of Mendes. Madness. Movies today are in a perilous state and when you've invested upwards of $300 in a movie studios want a goo…

I would normally rather stick pins in my eyes than watch anything from Michael Bay but I love Pearl Harbor. It suffered from not being Saving Private Ryan in the eyes of the stuffy critics but it never tried to be like that film. If was in fact a th…

As is always the case with one person's opinions Horowitz makes some very valid points and some not so. I do agree with the comments about Bond's self doubt in both QoS and SF. There was never a single frame of film where Connery indulged in any kin…

I have not read every page on this thread so forgive me if this has already been mentioned, but THE best show on TV right now is the brilliant Banshee. Of interest to people on this site because it stars two Bond alumni, Ulrich Thompson from WINE a…

Newman is a generic composer nothing more.His scores work perfectly fine within the context of the film he's working on without ever being outstanding in their own right. However I don't think he got the Bond sound at all. I think he watched to many…

I have skipped the last few pagesvof this thread because I have no desire to find out anything until I see the movie. I do not understand why some people ( not on this site in particular, just in general movie terms ) have to know every cough and sp…

I'm afraid some of the negative comments on here regarding Martin Campbell have made my blood boil. He may not have the acclaim and the Oscar's of someone like Mendez or Apted but he has directed the two best Bond movies of the last twenty years and…
-
I think what John Cleese was really refering to was the general attitude of the recent Bond movies. That they have on the whole lost their sense of fun. I dont mean the blatant and often silly humour of Moore's movies(although i love Roger's Bond my…

Sadly we are now living in a world where an exiting, funny and unusual film like Edge of Tomorrow flops and Transformers 4 does 100 million in its opening weekend. I despair. Can we blame the studios or are audiences getting what they seem to really…

I can't believe you have all missed the point of Austin Powers. It was never a parody of Bond but in fact a parody of all the Bond spoofs and rip offs of the sixties. Matt Helm, Derek Flint are the real inspiration for Powers. Watch those films now …
