I've been saying this for the longest time. Couldn't agree more.
I am firmly against a black bond , woman Bond any of that
I'm a minority but I don't give a shit I want my bond to be pure British white man none of this liberal media crap
Just goes to show, having success doesn't last forever. Eventually your back where you started, or worse.
Phillip Noyce?
Bond 25 pts perhaps?
Exactly my thought.
Unless they choose to hard reboot again of course, which would be a terrible idea imho.
So I'm guessing if Blofeld is back again, he isn't killed off.
On the other hand, them staying would probably mean their characters yet again get too much screen time.
I'm not so sure that 'foster brother angle' was a replacement for that Blofeld's backstory. More an addition to it. Had they done it, Blofeld would still have been Franz Oberhauser, i.e. Bond's childhood friend (foster brother).
Be careful what you wish for.
I also like GE over SF for the fact GE is more visceral & executed better,
Those films didn't follow the old formula.
I think they should hire Campbell again, recast Bond, and aim to perfect what he tired to do with both his earlier films. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy both films a lot, although they are both slightly off-centre, if you understand me? Goldeneye is just slightly too "jokey action-fest" and Casino is just slightly too "stern drama". Neither film truly nails it. I would love to see a third film from Campbell which attempts to merge the best of both together. There is an interesting space to be explored there, I think. At the same time, it could update things to the more modern times, with a new, more offhand Bond.
The standard elements that make a Bond film great were all present and nicely executed with some modern touches. I don't think it's a coincidence that this was the last film made while Cubby was still with us.
It's the latest EON film that I can watch in that same carefree way in which I enjoy the earlier classics. I agree that it's time for another one of these. We're long overdue.
Yes, I get that feeling too, but I feel like they should not go back on what we have seen in the Craig era, in terms of that extra realism, either. There is no reason why they should be mutually exclusive. They did the fun adventure Bond with Goldeneye, they did the more realistic portrayal with Casino. The next natural step, the third point on the triangle if you will, is to see what happens when those two sides are combined into one.
