Classic Bond Forum

Has Spectre had an average/normal box office take? I think Skyfall made more money than usual for Bond?

I saw there were discussion about Rocky above. I love the films. Rocky III is my favourite with Mr T as Clubber Lang. Rocky IV is very weird. Rocky fights a Soviet Union boxer (Dolph Lundgren) in Russia on Christmas day.

Daniel Craig does not have good PR skills. Also he hates making James Bond films. If he had some other well paying film parts he would have just made two or three James Bond films.

There seems to be quite a bit of talk in regards to Craig's successor, almost as if people are in a hurry to get rid of him. I don't remember there ever being this much talk about replacing Brosnan. As for the whole "complexity" thing, it's all fluff to cover up for the ridiculous script. I've been...

The sixties is classic but I have a soft spot for the eighties.

These three Bond films also don't have the scope and grandness of the Bonds of the mid to late 1960s. LALD and TMWTGG weren't even shot in scope, making them look even smaller.

LALD and TMWTGG are very memorable with Scaramaga's island, the crocodile jump and soforth.

The IMDB reviews are more interesting on more obscure things.

Seven great fun adventures. Unlike the depressing James bond films made today.

If it’s true Tanner commits suicide at the end of SP what does that mean for the earlier films in which he appears?

Looks like it is not a prequel series anymore.

Spectre is a dull tiltle. I thought Bond films had a strange title/phrase like the ones Ian Fleming used for his novels. Is Bond 25 going to be called James Bond?

Is the ITV4 ClassicBond season sponsered by this website?

What an incredible life he led. Rest in peace.

RIP to a very memorable Bond character.

Holland 5-1 Spain!

Daniel Craig looked craggy when he first started out as Bond. In Skyfall his aged look was praised as showing depth of character. I think Daniel Craig does not have the Bond look, like everyone here. But he can turn up looking like he wants as his fans stil like him.

They scrapped the James Bond series, invented a new spy series with Daniel Craig, but pretend that the new series it is a continuation of the decades old James Bond series.

That annoys me. Why not just launch a new series with Daniel Craig's spy character and continue making James Bond films?

True Lies is a Bond film with Arnold!

I think these work better as television films.

Trick R Treat was recommended as a great Halloween film - and I enjoyed it.
