Uncle is not tracking well. It is supposed to open at $20m/then 60m total US BO. Even if over performs it's opening weekend, over performing from $20m ain't so hot. It is supposed to be good as there has been a lot of early previews, but even wit…

I'm not a big Gaga fan, but, she has a big voice and if the song was very good, she could possible do well by SP's title song. She would also bring a lot of press interest, and marketing the thing is important. Adele would not have been my first c…

Great review @Risico007. Action writing and directing take a lot of talent to nail, particularly in this current film environment. McQuarrie is a vastly smarter action writer than Logan and a far more talented action director than Mendes will ever…

It's going to be very interesting to see who actually makes the cut for the song. Craig had huge influence by picking both Mendes and Bardem for SF with EON's approval. I would bet Mendes and in particular Craig can't stand the thought of soft pop…

Enjoyed the trailer. Just the right mix of action, drama and tension. Loved that they finally let us see Lea, bits of the rest of the cast and the locations. There is a lot of money on the screen, and for whatever reason EON went for broke on the…

Craig's language has never bothered me. And I don't think he IS a jerk. But, he can act like one with the press at times in way's that are just not smart.

I like Craig as Bond and I've read that he is a decent guy on the set, professional and friendly. But when you are paid $20m to do a film that most actors would kill to do, it is your job to be professional during the promo. I've criticized Craig …

I guess the bottom line is the song itself. If it is a good song, that works for the film, then I guess most of us will just be happy that it will help sell the film, which SF certainly did. Have no clue about this, but maybe EON requires that act…

Many untalented recording artists have sold 1m copies of a record and one hit record should not result in a Bond title gig. I just think a Bond theme is a major coup for a recording act, and it should go to a proven, deserving talent. I don't thi…

Could be worse (Smith) but oh so much better. Almost every major singer and band in the business would love to get this job, and EON has used Americans before so being British doesn't seem to be a factor. But one thing that makes me skeptical, is …

QOS was way to short. The jumpy editing didn't help either. I guess if the film is great and works, the length may not be critical. But that said, given it's Mendes, all the expensive locations and big cast, I too would be surprised if it wasn't a…

Fair enough. I wasn't a big fan of SF. I did not like what Logan and Mendes did to Bond's character. They also made him a near supporting character in his own film, and he looked old and done which I grant was part of the plot. Didn't hate it, but…

I think the Connery beating up on women points may not be accurate. He made an incredibly stupid comment on an old Barbara Walters special about slapping a women. Others on the site who have read more about the issue correct me, but apart from this…

You don't seem to get the point @RC7 that wanting a great film AND wanting a big hit are what some of us are posting about. The huge budget has sadly put much more pressure on BO numbers. And for the record, I think Sony has been a badly managed s…
