Yeah Eilish was a really canny choice, really helped by her saying how much of a Bond fan she was too. Maybe it's a bit cynical and simplistic to just get an artist the kids like, but it can't hurt at all. I agree that tonally Skyfall was spot on t…

I think it's like Terminator: a nice idea which shouldn't really be a franchise.

Yes it was pretty weak. I was amazed how, even though I obsessed over GB as a kid, I felt completely nothing at those scenes of crowds outside the firehouse with the car going in etc. Just an empty experience. I did wonder what kids watching this f…

It's #21 on my list. I don't hate it, it's a very watchable film, but I guess I prefer a bit of a Eurospy feel to my Bonds and this one doesn't quite satisfy me. The story is decent and the plot is better than most but something about that Kamen sco…

Careful, that's usually where someone has a pop at them for 'chasing awards' rather than making good old sludgy potboilers, even though the producers in the 60s were constantly hiring top talent who would often go on to win Oscars and get knighted b…

I was maybe onboard to the extent that the David Harewood scene was the best thing in the whole show and presumably that’s where they would moved it in S2, but generally it was a poor show so probably the right decision.

#15 for me; not my favourite. I find it a little bitty and episodic and it doesn't flow hugely well, and it's all a bit small scale (the lair at the end is a bit sad-looking really). But it does have huge style and Roger owns the role immediately, a…

I found them really boring I'm afraid. Roger is good in them as always, but I'm not sure I enjoyed Hunt as a director outside of OHMSS.

I imagine she gets asked to do things all the time which she doesn't! :)

I think Swift doesn't need to do a film song. She's the biggest thing in the entertainment world at the moment, bigger than Bond really. QBranch wrote: » The Last Dinner Party could do a great Bond theme, they have an amazing sound and are very…

There's something in that. How about All For Nothing

And those aren't creatively fresh either. Being brand new and inventive isn't always the only mark of whether something is worthwhile. We all love Bond films and an awful lot of those are the same thing regurgitated over and again in a different wra…

The hate that TROS gets baffles me. Don't get me wrong, it's not a hugely inspired film and feels slightly hollow, but it is a Star Wars film and does everything you'd want a Star Wars film to do, it's absolutely fine. It actually has characters and…
