James Bond Reviews

James Bond fans I feel that we don't get to talk that often outside of the film reviews and yes there will be more of those coming. Well I thought that since we are now in the me too era and everybody gets offended by anything I thought it would be good to pose the question of if the film franchise needs to be updated in order to fit in with this new era and please note that this wasn't planned so it might be all over the place in terms of thought and content. In order to under stand if the franchise needs to be updated we need to understand when and how the me too movement started and please note I won't be covering everything on how it started just a few key points. Now the phrase "Me Too" was actually first being thrown around in 2006 thanks to social activist and community organiser Tarana Burke and the phrase was used to promote empowerment through empathy and it was first being used on Myspace. The phrase really did kick into high gear in 2...

Bond fans i'm not going to lie this is perhaps the hardest list i've ever had to produce not only because alot of these Bond Girls are well loved by the fans but also because I have no idea on what qualities i'm going to be ranking these girls. No matter which qualities I went with the list was always changing and that made it very hard for me to nail down this list i'm going to give it ago and tell you my personal top 10 favourite Bond Girls. 10)  Tatiana Romanova (From Russia With Love) ( Daniela Bianchi) What puts this character so low down on the list is that despite the fact she's beautiful as all hell she is also rather forgetful. I can't remember a single thing that she does in From Russia With Love infact I remember right she spends alot of the time begging James to help her which is fine every once in a while but it's not. I will give her this she's a lot better then Rosie from Live And Let Die but a rock is better then her and...

So then Bond fans after what I can only describe as a very lack luster announcement live stream earlier on in the year and a very troubled production we now have some very good news. I will admit that I thought that they would announce the name of the movie when the first teaser for the film dropped like what Marvel did with Avengers: Endgame but low and behold that's not the case but that wasn't the only bit information that was released. We also got the plot for the film which is " In BOND 25 , Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica.  His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology ."  I'll admit that I had to do a bit of editing there because the name of the film was in the synopsis and...

James Bond fans it's been a short while since we last had a nice long chat and well to be honest i have no reason why that's the case other then the fact i've been busy writing other things. This is something that i've been sitting on for a about a day or two just because I was busy writing a none James Bond review and that meant pushing this post back but i'm doing now and well i'm going to tell you my personal top 10 James Bond films and no i'm not going to list the every film in a future post because that would be insane and i'm only including the films produced by EON Productions and just to make things clear number 10 means it's very bad and the further up you go the better the films become. 10) Die Another Day Now this and number 9 are pretty much tied for the worst James Bond film but what tips it in this film's favour is the fact that this film in my opinion fails as an anniversary film. Not only that but it also hits yo...

James Bond fans i'll straight up admit that I didn't want to review another James Bond movie so soon after reviewing two movies in a row. At the same time tho I didn't want to leave you guys without anything and so I spent a few minuets racking my brain on what I could do and I came up with something wholly original i'm going to list my personal top 10 James Bond title songs the key word there being personal so if your favourite songs isn't placed where you want it to be then just look back at that word and the same goes for if your favourite song isn't even featured and i'm not including the theme to Dr. NO because that's the iconic James Bond theme so of course it would be number one so here we freaking go. 10) A View To A Kill (Duran Duran) I'll straight up admit that I haven't seen A View To A Kill in a huge while but the song plays all the time on the radio so i've heard this song alot. To me this is a really solid song...

James Bond fans this might surprise you but i've not even read a James Bond book heck i've not even seen any of them in shops and so when I was looking for a book to take on my holidays I was shocked to not only find one but it was also the most recent book in the franchise so here is my review of Forever And A Day. The plot of the book is 007 has been killed in the city of  Marseille and it's up to newly promoted James Bond to find out what's going on and more importantly who did it. Honestly the story is pretty simple and very easy to follow but having it set before Casino Royale means that this book falls into the same traps that all prequels do because we know that the main character isn't going to die because there in another book so it kills any suspense. Out of all the MI6 regulars only Bond , Bill Tanner , M and Miss Moneypenny make and appearance so that means there's no Q Branch and that means no gadgets and I have to say that while h...
