  • Cavill was lost in Argyle and though he his not a great actor and not in Craig's league, I think Campbell may have seen potential in him, as seen later in "The Man from U.N.C.L.E.". Cavill makes a good Napoleon Solo but I would not cast him as Bond…

  • FOR: CR and Zorro sum it up for me.

  • 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?
