    With this amount of social comment on how they shouldn't do it, do we think they'll do it just the same?

    ...probably? :(

    In the Bondiverse, all Bond characters will have their own spin off films. And to keep things really commercial, the new Bond will do Amazon ads in which he dresses as a driver delivering packages. And his initials namesake, JB, will do the cameos Wilson used to.

    But he did capture the tone and style of UNCLE, which is not the same as Bond, unless you are including the song infested pop romp of Moonraker.

    Not really, IMO he captured the tone and style that killed off The Man From Uncle

    The Series 3 style, not the series 1, 2 and 4 style

    So Seve is an UNCLE fan. Excellent. IMO it did capture the tone even though it had nothing to do with the format of the original series. It didn't have any dancing gorillas or stink bombs so I'm not seeing a 3rd season parallel. I do think that the tone of the film did reflect a lot of what is seen in "The Dove Affair".

    Well, something was wrong with it, because it didn't grab me at all

    Me not finding Henry Cavill and Army Hammer sufficiently charismatic was also a factor...

    I liked that it went for the aesthetic of an Italian 60s spy movie, I didn’t expect it to go that way and rather enjoyed it.

    I like the MAN FROM UNCLE film, actually. Watched it with my Dad a few years back. I appreciated the 60's setting.

    Having watched a truck load of Italian 60s Eurospy movies recently, I'm not sure I see any particular similarity myself

    Yeah, it's only skin deep, but there's occasional flourishes like the quite enjoyable occasional crash zooms and other bits and bobs here and there, and Daniel Pemberton is doing most of the heavy lifting with his terrific retro score.

    I have to agree. It’s just a fun, retro styled experience, and the score is really a killer.

    If you came to the new film with Vaughn and McCallum in mind, which would be an almost impossible standard to meet, then of course one would be disappointed. The original chemistry between Solo and Illya was lightning in a bottle.

    That grave for James Bond 1962-2021 in the Faroe Islands is quite fitting now.

    NTTD has gone up quite a bit in my estimation now. It wasn't perfect, but still quite a fitting farewell to the series in retrospect.

    Are you guys prepared for a whole NEW look and feel to Bond? The one thing you can be sure of is that who ever they bring on to create the new Bond will put their own stamp on it, though we might still get the James Bond theme. That is what filmmakers are paid to do. I've worked on enough sequels and remakes to see it happen over and over again.
