  • The Craig-era was rich on themes, like rebirth, revenge and resurrection. It had a lot of grief, loss and betrayal. I don't figure they will continue down that path. But at the same time they need to keep Bond as a three-dimensional character, but w…
  • Like I said when responding to that very specific question... I wouldn't mind a Bond movie that has a villain who wants to blow up London with Bond trying to stop him. This can be the premise of the third act of the movie, the climax or the entire p…

  • I think "But my martini is still dry" is one of the best one-liners ever. The underwater sequence were great, the villain much better than many EON villains and the extensive fistfight at the clinic is brilliantly played out. But I too have issues w…

  • Mark my words... the reason for including 'We Have All the Time in the World' in NTTD' is because it's a hidden message. They knew they wanted all the time in the world to do the next one and for Craig to grow old so he can return as Bond's long lo…

  • @Since62 Impossible for me to answer since I haven't got the slightest clue about what Pushing Daisies is. Sorry. Maybe rephrase the question? But what I do know is this: Craig's Bond is all Vesper. The graveyard scene in Matera he says "I miss…

  • Bond-movies should try to be first movers when it comes to action setpieces. A parkour footchase that ends on top of a crane was original. A bikechase on the rooftop of a very large building was original. Fighting inside a haywire helicopter over…
  • Best example of a one-country movie is YOLT. It works because there's a city setting, a countryside setting, a harbour setting, an island setting, dayscenes, nightscenes, scenes with the sun setting, scenes with the sun rising, all those fantastic i…
