• The trailer looks great though it may give too much of the plot away. Seeing Sir Roger at the end was a treat. I wasn't sold on Rayner before, but I think he will do a great job as Simon after watching this. The trailer looks a lot like the US…

  in The Saint (tv series and movies) Comment by wj263 April 2013
• I always liked NSNA but felt the music was terrible and the lack of gunbarrel blasphemous. The fact that it's a remake of TB never bothered me because it's a good SPECTRE plot and they might try it again nearly 20 years later. The changes in casting…

  in Never Say Never Again - A Bond Film ? Comment by wj263 April 2013
• The first half of the opera seqeuence was brilliant but it went downhill after Bond finished taking photos of the Quantum members. Intercutting the shootout with Tosca was a good idea however the Tosca performance should not have been a modern on…

  in The Opera Scene - silent action sequence - like or loath ? (QOS) Comment by wj263 March 2013
• I didn't mind the para-surfing scene back in 2002 but it looks terrible now. However, I can still enjoy the sequence because of how the Bond fanfare comes in perfectly when it looks like Bond is dead but rides the wave up to a close-up on the screen…

• If Bond 24 is a non-personal, back to basics Bond movie, Mendes might be concerned with living up to Skyfall's layered story that had character arcs for Bond and others. No matter how good it might be compared to other straight-forward Bond films, i…

  in Sam Mendes Wants to return for Bond 24 Comment by wj263 February 2013
• X3MSonicX wrote: The gunbarrel is classic on the beggining, but in Skyfall it fitted only in the Ending. When Bond said he'll return for the action, the music grew up and the gunbarrel started, and that is, he IS back. If Bond really is bac…

• Why didn't Tanner get involved in the inquiry shoot-out? I assumed reboot-Tanner was like book-Tanner, being a former agent who was injured and also has a family so he can't be a field man anymore. Shouldn't he have had a weapon and started shooting…

• A new user to the forum isn't going to know that the search function doesn't work and that google is needed until the user starts a thread and gets less than friendly responses complaining about the new thread. MI6 has a very unique forum setup t…

  in Why don't U, er, MERGE threads instead of closing them? Comment by wj263 January 2013
• People who create the duplicate threads have probably tried to use the search function built into the forum and gotten no relevant results because it doesn't work. Can you change the search bar to use a google site search instead?

• Craig only looked too old in Skyfall because of his terrible haircut. He looked too much like ex-military private security with his short hair and his earpieces that are a few generations behind the one he used in CR. Standing out in a crowd because…

  in Changes in Craig's Bond Characterization Comment by wj263 December 2012
• bond50 you bring up some interesting points. If you haven't seen the movie yet, give it a chance. After you do, I'm curious if your opinions will have changed. I do think Mendes is like other directors and actors known for dramatic works who are …

  in Sam Mendes doesn't understand James Bond Comment by wj263 December 2012
• I don't think Kinnear has been given much to work with in the Quantum and Skyfall scripts. Tanner's dialogue with M in Quantum about Greene and the CIA made him look like he was in over his head working in an intelligence agency. Tanner's lines abou…
