This is not true. Many Bond films have plots which aren’t about Bond (YOLT is about some rockets going missing for example) but all of the films are about him. [/quote]
YOLT is a bad example to be honest.
What about LTK where bond was getting revenge for his buddy. There are loads of it.
That's because Judi Dench isn't just playing a supporting character in SF, she's upgraded to a full blown leading actress, joining the ranks of Eva Green, Olga Kurylenko, and Lea Seydoux. Bond is still very much the star of the film, but Dench's M was a very important component to the story.
Yeah sure but not many actress aside from Diana rigg or Eva green had much screen time. The plot was about M and Silva, bond was leading the plot.
The point being there's no competing between the two, they do their own thing and that's what enriches the spy genre.

It’s a very good example of what I’m saying. The plot isn’t about him (as you’re saying is true in Skyfall, although actually to a much lesser extent as plenty of the plot is about Bond and his upbringing, his place in the world etc.) but the film is all about him and celebrating him.
Maybe, I don’t know. I can’t think of anything I’ve seen in the media which compares them more than I do myself. I don’t read film magazines or movie tittle tattle websites; just places like this. I do like them both so I compare them as they do very similar things. I’m hoping NTTD can bring the level of storytelling and excitement that Fallout had. I’m not too worried about it having classier visuals or nicer sets because I’m sure it will. It probably won’t have stunts which are as impressive, which is also fine
I think where it becomes moot is when people lose the overall picture by sinking their teeth into comparisons that by that process become meaningless by themselves. I´m not necessarily talking about you ;-).
I know I have said this before, and it's off-topic, but it bears repeating: Tom Cruise is an odd duck but he seems like a really classy guy.
Let's just focus on NTTD here, this isn't MI thread anyway.
He's full of shit sometimes, like most movie stars are. But he works bloody hard and he's a damn good entertainer - always striving to make the best film possible for me to enjoy. And that's all I ask for.
A lot like Daniel Craig, really.

You’ve lost me a bit there. Bond films really are about Bond, I can’t see what you mean when you say they’ve focused on other characters.

It’s a good question: I can’t think of one off the top of my head. In fact the only British bike I can even think of ever being in a Bond film is the BSA in Thunderball. (There’s a Norton in Q’s lab in Spectre -with machine guns!- but I’m not sure that counts). Funny really, you’d think there would have been more British bikes.
Hard to argue with her.
That's a great shot.
It does remind me of CR boat Scene where bond was wearing that.
And TSWLM was a huge success because it recycled YOLT.
I'd take a new far out escapist adventure with a villain off to destroy the world - like seen several times before - over a storydriven Bond-movie focusing on Bond's past, feelings and familyrelations, any time. As long as the setpieces are original and Bond is acting cool and suave.
Bond should be filed under "actionmovies", not "drama."
This may be a bit of both. In fact I’d say everything points to that.
