  • Oof that looks slick! Denzel is everything I expect from him and can't wait to see what he does with the role. Mescal looks and sounds awesome (giving off young Mel Gibson vibes(?)). The action looks to be something else. I haven't been …
  • Two flawed films with some good ideas threaded through both. This comes down to which Bond would I rather watch. The broken record that I am, I'd much rather watch Craig (hobbled on one leg, on pain killers and fighting through a long shoot, t…

  • 007ClassicBondFan wrote: » Ditto @peter. The Japanese disguise is the sole reason I’m thankful 007 rarely dons disguises in his films. 😂, and this one was quite the doozy!
  • I’d say his Japanese transformation is my least favourite.

  • LTK... Had a little too much LW/DH sound to it, but incorporated an interesting and at times, Bondian sound. Special mention to the gunbarrel. Too much disco-cheese in FYEO, for me. LTK for the listen.
