This link may have been posted already but for me it was a major, major spoiler as it details the entire film scene by scene, without having to read the script. I think it is accurate and current, but other posters who have read the scripts will kno…

The only reason, other than physical wear and tear, that I would have thought Craig would stop doing Bond was to do other film work. But Between SF and SP, other than Broadway, he did no other film which was surprising, so he wouldn't stop doing Bo…

Totally agree. I'll take a good film too with a lesser score and title track, but I just hate to see the missed opportunity for something great, which Smith is just incapable of delivering. His voice is just all wrong for the style of film Spectr…

Actually I agree totally about the coloring. I thought the light grey suits in SF really washed Craig out. The very unflattering hair cut and white beard also aged him badly which was probably Mendes intent, but it didn't serve Craig very well. He…

As much as I too don't like Timberlake, I'd be happy with anyone at this point other than Smith. I'd also love to see a classic act get this gig, but when they announced Newman again, I just lost all hope for a good musical outcome on the score and…

Kind of hard to look classy when you have a heavy wire attached to a harness wrapped around the top of your body, with a heavy machine gun hanging on a strap from your shoulder, hoping over a fence and walking along a long narrow strip 4 flights up.…

I don't think reshooting an ending is minor, but I agree, it means nothing if the film makes loads of money which I'm sure it will. Making these films is such a big crap shoot. I'm amazed at how they keep trying to raise the bar. It must be like fi…

Spectre is going to have killer competition. MI5 looks to have a similar plot with similar locations. Then there is Uncle, Bridge of Spy's and still other spy films opening weeks and days before. Newman is for me a weak composer. I hope EON does…

Cruise has cleverly turned his MI franchise into his own Bond franchise. Making a last minute decision to move the film up wasn't due to competition with SWs. They knew about scheduling opposite SWs years ago. They got to read the leaked Spectre s…

If EON checks out the Bond sites, and they surely do, it must drive them nuts. Very much the old "damned if they do, and damned if they don't" routine. Tons of posters on the Bond sites seem to just hate the modern, gritty, darker Craig Bond and …

I'm a bit amazed at the extremely negative posts by a very few posters regarding Bond using the DB5 in what appears to be the last scenes in the film. I may be wrong on when he is using the DB5 but if he is using it in the closing scenes, it's use…

I also thought Ford's suits for Craig in SF were awful. Way too tight. Bond should always be dressed in a classic style. The Ford suits in SF will look horrible in five years. Heck, they looked horrible in 2012. I also never understood how we go…

Franchises and the value of their actors are very tricky. Too many variables. The Twilight actors got tons after the first film, and they haven't carried anything since. Craig at least sold out two Broadway shows, and TGWTDT would have been a suc…
