I thought that of all the MI movies. Enjoyable enough while watching but instantly forgettable! They certainly don't have Bonds endurability!
True. There have been more than enough setbacks on B25 already that we really don't need to read about Fukanaga working on another project so close to Bond's projected start date. Granted, it is still a few months away, but I'd assume the Bond film should be in pre-production as we speak.
I also don't think Craig should have committed to another film so close to the new Bond production. Who knows? Perhaps he blew all of the money he's made on the previous Bonds, is down to his last dollar, can't even afford to go see a matinee himself, and Rachel Weiss is on his arse about getting work immediately??
That's pretty much what would make me lose focus on Bond. I take that back................ I'd still be focused on Bond. I'd be practicing my gunbarrel walk in front of a mirror at the very least.
Kidding aside, until we get an announcement , say, shortly before Christmas that Cary Fukanaga has left the Bond film, lightning has struck twice and that B25 will be delayed indefinitely no need to seriously start worrying. Things will work out.
Here's a clip:

What became of the production delay? I thought there was an injury that set principal shooting back by several weeks?
Just the opposite. If the film does well financially then expect the Broccolis to be occupied adapting the next three novels in the series, for the good part of the next decade. We'd be lucky to get 2 Bond films before 2030. No thanks.
So in my opinion you have it backwards. But hey I don’t want my Bond to have these foibles. I want my Bond to be the ultimate suave hero, savior of the world.
No need in fighting it anymore as long as there isn't anything in the news regarding B25 everyone is going to continue being off topic. This seems to be an continuing cycle.
He didn't say much about bond still very secretive.
That being said, Fallout was a much more enjoyable watch than Spectre. It had a nice carefree vibe and a whiff of the spectacle that, in my opinion, Bond has been missing since Casino Royale.
I agree, the idea in principle is excellent. But was the execution really that good? I found that entire sequence underwhelming. I know that there is an often felt sentiment that Menses wasn't particularly good at shooting action scenes, and this would be a fairly good example.
So that's a good thing I guess
Yes, emphasis on "with Barbara", fortunately. The lady stays! ;)
The action in SF and SP is poorly executed. But it's also accompanied by some of the weakest musical compositions in the history of the franchise. Look to the score for a large part of why SF and SP are just so dreary and slog to get through. Newman writes music to send people to sleep or for long journeys in elevators.
It takes real mediocrity to write such bad scores but now Newman is gone I think the action is going to come across infinitely better.
Plus Fukunaga has demonstrated that he directs action brilliantly. I hope he doesn't feel a need to go for gimmicky or CGI 'stunts' like Mendes did and instead focuses on beautifully choreographed and filmed solid action that is integral to the plot.
