David Arnold. His scores for Casino Royale and QOS were incredible and much better than Thomas Newman's. David Arnold, to me, is the closest we have to John Barry. He knows how to switch between heartstopping action and heartbreaking tenderness bril…

Just had an interesting double bill. First, watched the Blu Ray of Spectre. A very workman like effort from script to direction to actor. Humdrum and by the numbers. Then watched Tom Hiddleston in The Night Manager (The Sun newspaper today had a who…

Anyone catch Brand new BBC spy thriller The Night Manager? Tom Hiddleston apparantly gives a great audition for Bond. Sounds like everyone is declaring their candidacy for Bond now...all except Daniel Craig!

Erm. Why the BOLD disclaimer: BOND NOT QUITTING? If you read Craig's representative he does not say he IS coming back as James Bond, indeed, they later said 'he has the right to change his mind on whether he returns or not'. So we're in exactly the …

I wasn't sure whether Craig would be back for Bond 25, but I sort of hoped he would return. I would have put the odds at 50/50. Although Spectre wasn't the best Bond movie, he was great in it. However, during the press interviews and the tv appeara…

I will always defend QOS. Sure, the script is hardly thrill-a-minute (the big plan is the global domination of...H20! Really?) and the plane sequence is dull, but...the fight scenes, the opening car chase, thhat great David Arnold score and Daniel C…

I see Bond 25 having ALL the same cast as Spectre - Craig too. This, I'd wager, was the plan all along. A direct sequel to Spectre was rumored for quite some time. We'll know in a couple of months for sure. I think November 2018 will be the release …

The very start of Bond 25, have Bond rushing into a hospital with Madaline Swann in his arms. Not dead, poisoned. Bond is frantic, scared, angry. How did this happen? Quick flashback to him and Swann enjoying their new life together. Then we see Bon…

People who worrying about Turners looks over acting ability should go and watch Being Human where he played a vampire housemate. He was great in that, he was also one of the stand-out Dwarves in The Hobbit movies (one of the few that did!). Turner i…

Aidan Turner. NOW. Forget old man Idris Elba - way way way way tooooo old to reboot and restart a franchise with (wlthough he would have beeen great maybe 4-5 years ago). After watching Aidan Turner in the wonderul And Then There Were None, he pract…

Watched Rogue Nation last night. Story-wise, it was very similiar to Spectre, but as the Spectre plot was very thin, I found myself getting bored very early on. The one thing it did better than Spectre was in the stunt department. Cruise throws hims…

Bond has some real competition from the other movie spies now. Take Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol. It made $700 at the box office (not including DVD sales, etc) and was made for half of what they spent on Spectre. That's a huge profit. They esti…

If he comes back it'll just be 1 more, but do I think he should come back? Absolutely. I had problems with Spectre, but Craig was not one of them. I think the perfect scenario would be a 5th movie from Craig after which they should reboot.

Nope. The job's done and the bitch is dead.

Saw it again at the weekend after which revised my opinion. It is definitely my least favourite Craig era Bond. I actually preferred QOS. But that doesn't mean I thought it was bad - there's no such thing as a terrible Bond movie for me. I even like…

The ending of Spectre does sort of liberate Craig from the role. He's clearly leaving or taking a well earned break, either way it would be a good way to bow out of the role. Craig has done a good job and I really don't see what more he can do with …

I agree with a lot of the comments here, it is very much a by the numbers action movie, which has Purvis & Wade written all over it. It's a good movie, but not a great one. It's not in the same category as Skyfall but it's not as bad as Quantum …

Saw it last night. There is a lot to enjoy and Daniel Craig is wonderful, but it was so predictable. It was like all the advances in story telling we'd had since Casino and Skyfall had been jetisoned, and we're back to a standard Purvis & Wade …

No. Having said that Adele's new song is a stunner. Pure vocal magic. She is probably the best British export since...well, since James Bond! She really is that good, but the Bond producers do need to invite new recording artists in each time otherw…
