I am not even sure Cavill is a safe choice. Bond needs to be bold and inventive to adapt to modern times. Cavill is bland and forgetable. The Man From U.N.C.L.E was the definitive proof for me he is very unfit for a modern Bond. It might have worked…

Cavill is a terrible actor, that's what disqualifies him. He's nothing but a pretty face.

I just hope they can get to work soon. If we are heading for a pattern of having to wait 5-6 years for a new film, keeping new generations interested in the series is not going to be easy...

I think the original claim is outright absurd. FYEO have tons going for it. Great Bond film and Moore's best.

I honestly don't like the fact they've shortened it. There's so much story left to cover and I don't want them to rush it. If a movie is good I don't mind it lasting three or four hours.

As expected it's a very well made and crafted film with some truly epic fight sequences and great visual quality. As I feared, too much time is spent on the relationship between Napoleon and Josephine, and although the dynamic between the two is int…

Going to see it on IMAX today. Pretty excited. It concerns me a littlebit that reviewers say his relationship with Josephine is one of the main focuses of the film. The story about Napoleon is incredibly interesting, but the probably least intere…

I guess I see things very differently to most people. Modern cities lained with skyscrapers seems to be most people's go to when possible locations are being discussed. I think the opposite. I am honestly starving to see Bond again somewhere properl…

Do we actually know this will be his last film? I know he's said in the past he will stop at ten films, but has he actually said outright this will be his last? People change their minds and when people are passionate about what they do, they are…

I can't remember enjoying any other Nolan film as much as I did Oppenheimer. Finally the subject matter seemed meaningful rather than just a creative concept he dreamt up or something purely action driven. It's no doubt his technical prowess in term…

Poor Mrs Bell! I know she's not all that but I yhink it might be a bit degrading to compare her to a psychotic murderer!

This one is way to easy. If I was Draco's sun I could travel the world in sports cars, live in fancy hotels and eat at the best restaurants. If I was Kerim's sun I would be forced to work for him as "protection".

Nothing beats Barbara Bouchet though... :x

I feel like some people react way too emotionaly. To point out that some scenes in the earlier films especially are unpleasant and problematic is not to "attack James Bond". Calm down. And there are a lot of strawmen around. Nobody has been advoc…

As an outsider you really wonder what kind of society the US has become. Grown men ranting and whining about perceived political symbolism in a film made just to entertain. And of course the well known irony in referring to adversories as "snowflake…

It doesn't improve matters that the scene is key and vital to the plot. It is basically yhe moment where Bond saves the day. Some of the other unpleasant scenes in the series you can at least try to to forget or brus under the carpet. In Goldfinger …
-
Of all flimsy excuses I have seen... Being a Bond fan doesn't entail blindly defending everything in the series. Some of the scenes in the early films are definitely very problematic, and we should acknowledge that.

What people find controversial is quite obviously the objectifying of women. But, as you imply in your question, the line between what qualifies as objectifying or indeed sexism or misoginy will be subjective. It's no doubt that a lot the harshest c…

You must excuse me, gentlemen, but not being English, I sometimes find your sense of humor a little hard to follow
