So they're totally OHMSS'ing Lea Seydoux in this right? Bond's had his five years of tranquility already AND Anna de Armas is in this as a Bond lady. How Bond gonna Bond when he got wifey back home? Unless they take a page out of Kingsmen 2's book and have a scene with him calling her to ask if he can get his smooch on for the sake of the world.

I doubt it. The obvious thing to do would be to turn her into a baddie of some description (which I think would suit Seydoux's acting talents), but the shadow of Vesper Lynd has loomed large over Craig's tenure as Bond, so unless they could do it in a way that contrasts with that storyline, it might just feel like more of the same.

Maybe they have some sort of twist where Bond's paranoia of her betraying him drives her away? It would get rid of her without fridging her (and without any blame on her part), and you could make it so the baddie plants false evidence against her, giving Bond a reason for revenge.

Although frankly, this is the problem with having continuity between films. You end up writing yourself into a corner and have to use contrived (and boring) devices to escape.

The first half is Skyfall tier. The train fight might be the best Craig action scene...
I'm in the minority of people who loves how Skyfall looks, but thinks it pales in comparison to CR. I can't remember this scene you're talking about. I remember the train scene in Skyfall, though.

Oh, wait are you talking about Skyfall?

The truth is every Craig Bond is worse than the one that preceded it.

Hoping Bond 25 bucks that trend and sends him off on top.

Crazy to think that we will have a new Bond actor 3-4 years. Craig will go down as the longest tenured Bond.

Wait, are you the only other person here who thinks QoS is the second best Craig Bond like me?

CR > QoS > SF > Spectre, so yes.

Spectre is so shitty it doesnt even have an acronym!
My man. QoS has major issues but I dig (for some reason) how it's a direct sequel that goes in the balls to the wall opposite direction of CR. It flies even though it doesn't soar.

Fan of Ana since blade runner. I'm interested to see what she brings to Bond. Probably a love triangle Id guess

Production finally has actually gotten on the rails? I honestly expected them to keep on struggling for another while.

I agree with this. I think QoS is better than Skyfall with the exception of the amazing Cinematography (which is Skyfalls best characteristic)

Cool cast. Always in for some more Bond. Didn't think Spectre was THAT bad. Pretty damn stupid in parts, but I was able to have fun with it.

Phoebe Waller bridge! Nice. Huge fan of anything she works on. Maybe something good will come out of this troubled project. Great to see Rami Malek officially in the film.

Cr rules qos rules skyfall mixed to bad spectre bad

Nope. Each entry has been worse than the last as far as I'm concerned.
QoS is a top 5 entry in the franchise

These guys got it right.
Quantum of Solace is amazing, and I got it in my Top 5.
Casino Royale > Quantum of Solace > Skyfall > Spectre

Although I don't think Spectre is bad. It's only in the last hour when Blofeld connects to everything prior that it turns to shit. Everything else up to then was a pleasure.

I hope Bond 25 will be up there with QoS at least.

It's been filming for a month.
