  • Spectre is definitely at the bottom of my list - it’s the only Bond that I would not watch if it was on linear TV. It’s a hot mess of a movie, extremely tedious in places, making poor attempts at going places Craig’s Bond never should have gone, zer…

  • I don’t think there’s a chance in hell in that EON would choose an actor for Bond that would present any risk of reputational damage to their commercial partners. The last thing they need is some idiot getting caught behaving badly by a tabloid or g…

  • Personally, I would like to see a break from ESB and not just ‘ignoring the tropes for the first movie and then reintroducing them bit by bit’ but an actual break from ESB, the DB5, the bad one liners etc. They really just felt bolted on and unneces…
