  • Plot hole, lapse in logic, whatever someone wants to call it, the final quarter of the film is not as tight as it could be.

  • Skyfall has some major plot holes and lapses in logic; with that said, it is one of my favorites and is immensely re-watchable. I think a script polish, to close the plot holes, by someone like Christopher McQuarrie, could have resulted in the pe…

  • Born and raised in Texas; to my untrained ear he sounds pretty good.

  • Just say no... 😏 All jokes aside, I don’t see him in any way as Bond, even if I squint.

  • I wonder if there’s any chance that an end credits song would be added. There is precedent and it would be good exposure leading up to the release.

  • @peter I agree with your assessment of the magnetism of each actor, although I think Dalton had it, until he took off his shirt. It really is shocking to see how slight he was. While not as chiseled as Craig, both Connery and Lazenby were physica…

  • NickTwentyTwo wrote: » Do you think they'll reference Blofeld as "Oberhauser" at any point in this film? I'd think it would be a huge mistake to do so. They’ll steer clear.... I hope.
  • Had Lazenby stayed on, and worked on his acting craft, he would have matured very nicely in the role. He possessed a relaxed , confident charisma and dominant physicality.
  • I don't mind Craig's era ending with him heading towards domestic bliss, but we don't have to, and won't see it. Think about it, no doubt Bond does countless mundane things that we all do; He gets his hair cut, goes to the dentist, shops for groceri…
  • My problem with Cavill is that I can always sense that he’s “Acting” , even in Fallout.
