Yes...it is a bit crazy that we argue over these BO matters, probably because there is so much info that we dont actually have access to...........plus the fact none of us personally profits from the Bonds films success. In fact as we are part of…

What a strange thread to post on FILM FAN SITE.............whats the point?

Yes................with 'SF' coming to the end of its theatrical run.....then its the turn of the DVD sales. Due to the excellent word of mouth the film received.......i expect the DVD sales are also going to be pretty excellent as well.........addi…

It was in the editing room where QOS was spoiled. In QOS.....Forster was allowed to bring in his own editors, who unfortuantely didnt have much experience with action films.........and it showed! Forster, complained that he wasnt given much ti…

OK everyone lets get things straightened out here! I'll go through things here step by step. Right the argument over whether 'SF' had overtaken 'TB' as the highest grossing Bond film, started some weeks ago here. This apparently came about as…

OHMSS is a wonderful film......yes Lazenby was a bit wooden in parts, but i think he did a pretty good job overall, considering he had virtually no acting experience. Great cast, good plot taken from Fleming novel, wonderful visuals, fantastic, rea…

though short the fights in YOLT were pretty good:- Bond vs Hans in the volcano, where Hans pins Bond against the fireplace, and Bond fights back with wicked punches to Hans stomach. Then there's the fight between Bond and the Japanese goon at …

This is a very strange topic for a Bond site! :O

Yes.......no slaptick please the likes of Tarzan yells in OP.....and the Beach boys music in AVTAK were awful, but to me the worst thing in a Bond film was not the slapstick, but poor realism as in DAD. I mean that scene with Bond on a surf…

Yes..........i dont disagree.......its great to see the success of 'SF'. I expected it to be a big hit, if the reviews were positive........but it has been very successful. Probably the best result considering past BO has been North America, whe…

I agree in keeping the films serious and realistic, but humour is also important, as long as it isnt juvenile. But, its easier said than done to be able to make a serious, realistic film........youve got to hire the right people for the job. An …

I think my favourite PTS is parkour chase in CR...............its just great, and so re-watchable. Worst, or should i say silly PTS sequences:- I agree MR was silly............but for a modern Bond film, GE with PB somehow having all the luck …

So 'SF' must be doing pretty well in China, as total has reached $1077.8 mil. I mean, the US gross must be so small now, that its not even reported, though if film is still in cinemas there, the gross will be reported on Monday. Rest of Internat…
