Depends what we mean by Bond Begins. I wouldn’t mind a film set earlier in his career, maybe even earlier than we’ve seen before. Could be cool seeing a bit of his military background and how he got recruited. But I definitely don’t want to see a…

@jetsetwilly why do you want the YOLT ending if the NTTD one is so depressing? Heroic sacrifice vs implied torture and execution. Mathilde grows up knowing what a hero her dad was vs him never meeting his kid, and them never knowing anything about h…

I think Nolan could make a good Bond film. The last few years have soured me on him a bit, but Bond being a grounded sort of fantasy might curb some of the weaknesses that have become more and more apparent (it’s not sci-fi for example, so while it’…

I’d put KOTCS and DOD on about the same level. I like both and I’m glad they kept making them, but nothing tops the first three. mtm wrote: » SomethingThatAteHim wrote: » Rewatched Skull the other night and it reiterates that I think it’s a…

I liked it. Depressingly CGI laden, even more than Crystal Skull seemed to be (that bit with the train at the start felt almost blasphemous in an Indy film), but I expected that because of Ford’s age and the trailers. And I still thought it was fun,…

Pattinson because he can act. Cavill seems like a nice enough bloke, but he just seems so stiff and awkward whenever he’s on screen to me, like he’s lacking in confidence. It’s weird. He’s so good looking that you’d think he‘d be a natural born movi…
