  • Skyfall is overrated, it’s a good Bond but it gets overrated because of how big of a hit it was, and so many people who aren’t necessarily huge Bond fans saw it and loved it. So it’s good, but there are definitely 14 Bond films that are better IMO. …

  • I love LALD. It's Moore's best performance as Bond and his best film. It also has some of the best Villains in the whole series.....and Sharks! Ushering Guy Hamilton back in the director’s chair was a sound move, he had made Goldfinger, the most …

  • Denbigh wrote: » Ok so I know you're probably not gonna agree but Jack O' Connell? I can see why people might be turned off but again I see potential. He's a brilliant actor and give him a couple of years and enough prep. I think he could do it. …
  • Nothing is as good as those first 20 minutes. There is some creaky plotting and the post-Cold War villain is nasty in a commonplace way and, being realistically peripatetic, has need for a subterranean palace to luxuriate in. Desmond Llewellyn's Q p…

  • Getafix wrote: » Bits of TND look okay. It was the first attempt to update the look and feel to the 90s IMO. GE has an incredibly 80s vibe to it. +1. That’s why it’s Brosnan’s best. The 90’s were crap in terms of style.
