  • [quote/] On a side note, that bathroom fight looks awesome. This is the sort of fight choreography that the last 2 Bond movies have been crying out for but sadly lacking. Let's hope Boyle is up to the task with his Bond 25.[/quote] I would respec…
  • Does Tom Cruise have a stunt double in this film? No, this is not a jokey, rhetorical question. I'm genuinely curious. Has he officially upped his game so much that he doesn't have a stunt double anymore?? I'm so excited for this movie, and th…

  • It really makes you appreciate how many people and how much time and effort it takes to give us a minute of film, sometimes less. Sometimes it's all for one shot. I'm reminded of the documentary called "Within a Minute" on the Revenge of the Sit…
  • TooManySomethings wrote: » PDJamesBond wrote: » Is it great cinema? No Wow you really sold it. Sorry, but were you expecting a film called "Tomb Raider" to be great cinema?
  • My wife and I saw it last night and we both loved it. Not sure where the negative reviews are coming from. Is it great cinema? No, but it's not supposed to be. It's a fun, thrilling ride, very much in keeping with the spirit of the video games. …
  • Darn. I really loved what Joe Kramer did with M:I-RN. As long as the next person is respectful of the franchise and its themes (and uses them appropriately), then I'll be happy.
  • These films keep getting better. I thought Rogue Nation was the best in the series – a smart, old-fashioned spy yarn with great action and some neat surprises. I’m so excited Christopher McQuarrie is back for round two! Can’t wait to see what he …
  • I was so impatient waiting for this trailer but now I wish I had never seen it, because it's going to make the wait for July a thousand times harder!

  • Shatterhand would have a kind of symmetry to it, rounding out the final Craig "trilogy" with one-word "S" titles. I wouldn't be opposed to it, especially because it comes from Fleming. (And because it might mean that they're returning to the YOLT …

  • Remember the good old days when these films came out every two years like clockwork? Just imagine, by that timetable we would be looking forward to a new 007 adventure in about four months. Sigh. How times change.
  • Alas, for the first time ever, our Bond actors aren't all alive at the same time.Such sad news. 89 is a good age, and clearly Sir Roger lived a full and wonderful life, but somehow it just seems to me that anyone who plays 007 ought to live forev…

  • Regardless of our thoughts on Spectre (I thought it was mostly terrific), DC seemed so at ease in the role, like he had officially become James Bond and was loving every minute of it. IMO it would be an absolute shame if he didn't do at least one m…
  • I’m so glad to hear support for Crystal Skull. With the sole exception of the vine swinging Mutt, I thought it was terrific, and I think it’s far more fun than ToD. I have said since day one that any criticism you can throw at Crystal Skull (again…

  • "Characterization" in a Michael France script? :)) That's precious!
  • @thelivingroyale: The original GoldenEye draft by Michael France is a hoot. It fails as a Bond movie but it’s highly entertaining as an action movie. It’s long and overstuffed and is essentially a series of crazy, over-the-top action setpieces, m…
