James Bond : Black Box Review


Bond fans i've often talked about the Bond movies and most recently the video games but the one thing about Bond i've never even considered talking about are the Bond comic books well now that's about to change with my review of James Bond: Black Box.


The story follows Bond as he investigates Saga Genji who is a very influential tech mogul who is responsible for the creation of The Black Box an artificially controlled cubicle device that contains data regarding universal worldwide government secrets involving agencies organizations and deep cover operations willing to sell them to the highest bidder. The story for me was rather simple and didn't quite have the intrigue of the movies but i'm glad to see Bond face more modern threats.


The Bond girl for this adventure is one Selah Sax i woman who like bond is after Genji but unlike bond she isn't doing this for queen and country she's doing it for herself and just that aspect of her character makes her very interesting and she can really handle herself when it comes to all the fights which is something we rarely see in Bond girls.

I have to say that the opening few pages of issue 1 to me felt like a typical bond pre-title sequence and for me that's not a bad thing i love it when other forms on Bond media do something that's worked in both the books and films for years to me that's great as it welcomes you to the world of James Bond.


There's a few things that i don't like about this series and one of them is the fact that for no reason what so ever Q is out in the field with Bond he has no reason being there what so ever and the other thing is actually a spoiler but since they spent five issues building up Selah she gets captured really easily and doesn't do much in issue 6.

The writer Benjamin Percy did a good job of setting up the world of Bond in comic book form and he does write to truly great dialog that feel like it came from a Bond film and his words are supported really well by Rapha Lobosco but the art work isn't always good but for the most part it really is good.


Overall if you want to see another Bond adventure while we wait for the next movie i would say check this out for me tho this book gets a 7 out of 10

Casino Royale 2006 Film Review

Out of all of the more modern James Bond era the most popular one is quite easily the Daniel Craig era which is understandable as the actor has starred in the last five official James Bond films. With that run starting with the film that i'm going to be reviewing for you all today as this film did come out during a time where no one was treating the Bond films as seriously as they do now with this film really helping to chance that perception just a little bit and so then join me as I review the film that starts the James Bond timeline over from scratch with the film in question being called simply just "Casino Royale" enjoy. The plot of this film is when a terrorist financier enters a high stakes Poker game it's up to newly crowned double 0 agent James Bond to stop him before it's two late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all h...

From Roger Moore With Love Film Review

2024 seems to have been the year of documentaries with there being alot of documentaries being released all about very well known. As such it would understandable if alot of you didn't know a,bout or even perhaps forgot about the fact that there was another documentary being released this year and well then it's just finished airing on BBC Two and given the subject of the documentary you all knew that I have to review this film the very first chance that I got and so then join me as I review the film that sees a light being shone on who many consider one of the greatest James Bond actors of all time with the film in question being called simply just "From Roger Moore With Love" enjoy. As this is a documentary it really doesn't have a plot to begin with the film instead making use of archive of footage and audio of Roger in order to present this image of someone who was really well loved by all who knew him. This is something that could be seen as being a bit borin...
