  • I think the biggest problem with TWINE and DAD, and what makes them such disappointments, is that both films had so much potential and managed to squander every last bit of it. The idea at the core of TWINE is rather solid. Bond falling in love …

  • Ron Howard for Bond? The man's made some good films, but I think he'd do a terrible job with Bond.

    in Bond films that you love, but most others dislike? Comment by dalton November 2015
  • Licence to Kill, Quantum of Solace, and A View to a Kill are the ones that fit this category for me. I rate both LTK and QOS rather high and AVTAK always tops out several of the other Bond films that I'm "supposed' to like whenever it's time to put…

  • I think it would have been interesting to have seen this treatment more fully developed and ultimately made into a film. This version of M's past coming back to haunt her might have felt a bit more unique, as her betrayal of Silva really felt like …

  • Nothing wrong with what Brosnan said. He, like any other member of the audience, saw the film and offered his opinion when asked. Even went out of his way to compliment Craig for his work in both this film and his tenure as a whole. Nothing wrong…

  • The only good thing that Activision did with the licence was to give it up.
    in What Did Activision do right when it came too 007? Comment by dalton November 2015
  • In some respects it is living up to my expectations and in other, probably more numerous, ways it isn't. The one big way that it is living up to my expectations is Craig himself. He's been brilliant as Bond and has redefined the part in a way th…
    in Has and/or is the Daniel Craig era living up to your expectations Comment by dalton November 2015
  • The Casino Royale teaser poster is the only quality poster of the Craig era, so I guess you can add another member to the "minority" opinion on that one. I think the CR teaser poster is one of, if not THE, best posters in the entire franchise. M…

    in Your favourite Bond movie from each actor Comment by dalton October 2015
  • Knowing that I'm probably alone in thinking that they're underrated, I'd say that Licence to Kill and Quantum of Solace are very underrated, both by the general public and Bond fans.
    in Most Under-rated Bond Movies Comment by dalton October 2015
  • I'd rather they go in a different direction. Even if SPECTRE manages to be better than Skyfall (a low bar to clear), I'd rather see a new vision for the franchise moving forward, whether it's with Craig or with a new actor in the role. I'd like to…

    in SPECTRE--last Craig-era film? Comment by dalton October 2015
  • They pretty much already let Craig and Mendes run the show. I never thought I'd find myself saying it, but I think I'd probably be OK if SPECTRE turned out to be it for the Craig era. I've found myself tiring of the never-ending "this time it's …

  • I'm more interested in how the code in which A=1, B=2, and so on is considered "secret". Seems like it would be one of the more common codes of this kind.
