  • I'd rather watch LTK, but it's extremely close, and mainly just down to the fact that LTK is my favorite of all the Bond films, so I guess in that sense I'd rather watch it than any of the other entries. A better answer would be that I'd just rat…

  • I think it's a natural consequence of EON making the plots of these films so personal over the years. CR is just as much about Bond's romance with Vesper, his learning who to trust and who not to trust, and about his evolution into the "Bond we all…

    in Was SPECTRE a disappointment? Comment by dalton January 2022
  • There's enough in the SP script to get someone on that train of thought. Blofeld's "You interfered in my world, I destroyed yours" / "The author of all your pain" speech certainly hints at this being the case.
    in Was SPECTRE a disappointment? Comment by dalton January 2022
  • I think Waltz almost has to lean into the personal angles. It's the only thing that makes his character interesting, since he's given so little screen time, and saddled with all of the Blofeld iconography (i.e. the Nehru suit and the cat) that he's…
