  • Personally, I would prefer a lower budgeted Bond film. Not that it should be $13 million like Godzilla but it proves that you can still make a great movie for WAY under $200 million. I do know, that from talking to some of the crew on the last few B…

  • Regarding the comment "but all of them walk into a room and there's not a doubt in their mind that they are the sexiest, manliest, coolest guy in that room.", I've met or worked with all the Bond actors and the only one in real life that reflects th…

  • Bond films, like any films, don't have to be perfect. Just provide a viewer something they can call their own.
  • Other than CR and the introduction of Craig, the rest of his era was filled with way too many missteps. I'm looking forward to the refresh.

  • How is it that they are doing another "Knives Out" film, which have always maintained a high standard of quality, and here we are without even an ounce of progress on 26? At least Craig is keeping busy.
  • I'm someone who likes it when Bond pretty much stays in one location and the story explores what it has to offer. I dislike the travelogue style of jumping from one place to another.

  • I think one of the biggest questions is still whether a new Bond should be introduced like in Dr.No, already fully formed, or like in Casino Royale, an origin story?

  • I hope we don't get a gym guy. I never got the feeling that Fleming's or the classic film Bond was dedicated to working out. Seemed to be more about pleasure than pain.
  • On top of all the other things that films in general have going against them at the moment, NTTD did not feel as uplifting, other than in the Cuba sequences, as the usual Bond film and may also affect the audiences excitement to rush out to a theat…
  • Speaking of female villains, they were a staple of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. series (and movie) and almost none of them were stereotypical.
