  • From what I gleaned from the PR yesterday - 1. Still disappointed to learn the story isn't lifted or based around a Fleming novel, although the sounds of this plot leads me to think this could be a modern take on Shatterhand and YOLT (here's hopi…
  • Danny Boyle as director will make me excited for Bond again. A few reasons - 1) He is a big fan of the Fleming novels, so really understands the character and the world Bond lives in. This is a biggie for me. 2) Arnold will almost certainly re…

  • I have no issues with the franchise trying to go in new directions. I'm all for that. What i don't like is poor, sloppy film-making, silly, muddled plot-holes, and a horrible underlying Disney message of blatantly disgusting social commentary and PC…
  • Very disappointing. I loved The Force Awakens, but all the hard work done there to get fans to fall back in love with the franchise again has been undone here. Back to unnecessary CGI action scenes again that felt more like the prequels, messy, too …
