Maybe it’s a generational thing, but I just find violence against women to be distasteful. And, yes, Wai Lin may be a match for most men, but not men at top level. That’s why women and men don’t compete together in contact sports

I saw it for the second time last week, and was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed it - despite knowing the plot. Can imagine it will withstand many repeat viewings, and become a classic. Staple for Christmas TV for decades to come

No, this can’t work. Unless you think James Bond is a code name. The new Bond film will e set in the eternal present, but move back in his lifetime - before 007 dies. Therefore, Mathilde will not exist

My memory may be hazy, but didn’t they say they brought the mission forward so they could bomb before the radioactive material was delivered

Some great suggestions here…my only plea is for no more personal / traitor / Bond resigning plots. Was TLD in the 80s the last time we didn’t?

I agree, it’s brilliant Might go and see it again in an iMax

I reckon the best films are those that stay close to Fleming (albeit updated) - thinking CR, OHMSS, DN, FRWL etc.
-
I agree that Bond shouldn’t get political. Even if his views are ‘on message’, they will be divisive in today’s world. And will date quickly - like TLD. EON were clever in using SPECTRE instead of Russians for the baddies.

Would just be nice to see Bond go through a whole film without resigning, being suspended or being dismissed

Whilst I enjoyed Craig’s character exposition, I preferred Connery’s mysterious government assassin working in the shadows, a fully paid up member of the Establishment and therefore untouchable (unlike, say Callan or Harry Palmer, who were only ever…

In Dr No, doesn’t M introduce himself as Head of MI7? But my understanding of the Bond world is that MI6 is an intelligence service, collecting and analysing information, sometimes gathered by assets in the field, which then provides information…

Maybe Babs and Michael will retire, and end the franchise. Killing a retired Bond would the seem perfectly apt. Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton, Brosnan gave us active service Bond. Craig bookended the stories with trainee Bond and retired Bo…

My recollection is that Kevin McLory legally was found to have invented SPECTRE when writing the story for the film script Thunderball, which was later adapted by Fleming into the book. But the details all seem hazy, to say the least. But the po…
