  • 1. A return to Bond actually being on a mission rather than some kind of personal vendetta or being out to deal with some kind of ghost from his or someone else's past. The fact that it's been about three decades since we've gotten a film that did…
  • I kind of view it in a way where I try to separate Bond from Craig in this film. I absolutely believe that Bond would fall for Swann, given the whole deal about her understanding him and accepting him for who he is, and so on. Seydoux, IMO, brough…
  • I thought that Seydoux did a fantastic job in the film. Her and her character were one of the few highlights of Spectre and she actually did a good job of carrying the film, IMO. Now, as for chemistry with Craig? I think they had some, but it's…
  • I don't watch them very often anymore. Maybe one every other month. I did take in a couple of Craig's films around the time that Spectre was released, but none since. Probably won't watch any until I pick up Spectre on Blu-ray.
  • The trailer looked really good until Superman showed up. Eisenberg's Lex Luthor really seems like he's going to be an annoying character.

  • Finally! Someone else. :D I really liked it as well. I liked the whole dynamic of Agent Strahm going against Detective Hoffman in that kind of 1-on-1, cat-mouse game between the two whereas the usual Saw gimmicks seemed to take somewhat of a b…
  • I actually liked the final film, and seem to be the only person around who likes Saw V. I stuck around with the films more for the story and the detective aspects of the films rather than the gore that seems to have brought so many to the series, s…
  • I knew this would happen. It was only a matter of time before we saw an eighth Saw film. Strangely enough, I think I'm game for another. It will have been 6-7 years since the last one (longer than I thought they'd wait), so diving back into the…

  • It's somewhat comical that Damon and Greengrass go to lengths to criticize Bond and complain about how awful the franchise is and all of that, yet they go out of their way to blatantly rip Bond off with that "You Know His Name" poster.

  • Then- I wasn't too terribly fond of Skyfall upon its initial release. The plotholes and other issues with the film really kept me from enjoying the film, as I remember sitting in the theater picking apart Silva's omnipotent scheme rather than enjoy…

  • I actually would like Fiennes to stay on in the role for a while. That said, if his departure led to them recasting the MI6 team and led to an actor being cast as M who didn't require the amount of screentime that Dench and Fiennes have had, then t…
  • Hard to come up with just three moments in this fantastic film, but my choices would be: 1. Bond kicks Locque off the cliff. 2. Bond scales the Meteora 3. The keelhauling sequence
  • I liked Mama, but a sequel is unnecessary.
  • I liked Alien³. Sure, it has issues, but I thought it was, all things considered, a pretty good film and a nice departure after the action-heavy Aliens.

  • Contracted: Phase 2 (2015) A very poor sequel to the surprisingly fresh take on the zombie genre that was 2013's Contracted. Not that the original was the greatest horror film ever made, far from it in fact, but it had a fresh take on the zombie…
  • It's next to impossible to look for continuity or to make sense of the timeline of the Bond films, even in the new rebooted films. Casino Royale takes place in 2006 and Quantum of Solace picks up pretty much right where it ended, yet takes place in…
  • I couldn't agree more with regards to EON relying far too heavily on references to the first 20 films as of late. I've been banging that drum since Casino Royale was released, and it's only gotten worse with Skyfall and Spectre. Eventually we're g…
  • EON only needs to do what many have been saying they need to do for the better part of a decade now: hire new writers. Everything else seems to be in pretty good hands. They've moved the franchise to a point where they are able to bring Oscar-ca…

  • Overall, I wasn't particularly impressed with Waltz as Blofeld. Well, actually, I take that back, once he was actually revealed to be Blofeld (not that it wasn't blatantly obvious beforehand), he was actually OK. He was pretty good in the London c…
  • I didn't think that any of those were particularly good, certainly not worth the $50-60 that they cost. I also didn't think that they were worthy of the franchise, either. When there are a lot of top-notch games out there, and considering that Bon…
  • It's just my opinion, but I thought both EA and Activision did a terrible job with the license. EA had one good game, Everything or Nothing, the rest weren't very good at all. Activision's best was the extremely ordinary Quantum of Solace, and fro…
  • I think those that hold the rights for the Bond gaming franchise need to think long and hard about where they go with the rights the next time around. If they don't get it right this time, it's possibly the end of the Bond gaming franchise. They'v…
  • For what it's worth, I enjoyed Spectre as well when I was in the theater. It was only after I started looking back at it and realizing what the ramifications of it were for the rest of Craig's films that my opinion of it began to sour a bit. Whe…
