  • That would've been ace! What a tag at the end of the scene to see that ring! It's certainly a shame that Blofeld wasn't the main bad guy in this film. All the waiting throughout the decades to get the rights back to that character and yet no soon…

  • The film's dramatic focus is split because most of it is filled with Spectre and Blofeld (or at least his influence). By the time they're all out of the way, there isn't much left for Safin to establish either himself or his aims. Maybe Safin sho…

  • Ah - love it! It has a nice "once upon a time" feel to it, a traditionally told story, with a sting at the end. Gosh, wish they'd done that, or something very much like it. Thinking about it, we didn't really need the child-Madeleine scene when i…

  • That's an interesting point - that he's not necessarily complex, but considerably more human that one might believe if they only saw the films. In Doctor No, for example, which I'm reading at the moment, Bond is seething with anger with M for taking…

  • Revelator, thank you for appreciating my post and correcting me. You make very salient points, and my opinion is changed. You're right, I shouldn't mistake Fleming for Bond. In fact, I have an example: I've written a few manuscripts for novels mysel…
