Quantum of Solace: Olyga Kurylenko and Daniel Craig as Camille Montes and James Bond

Bond at 50: Quantum of Solace

We continue our mission to review every James Bond film ever released… When Quantum Of Solace was first released, myself and a friend (Ron Brunwin) were writing a 007 stage spoof which would premiere not long afterwards. We wanted a few topical and up-to-date gags about the film to include at the end of the [...]

Daniel Craig as 007

Bond at 50: Casino Royale

We continue our mission to review every James Bond film ever released! There’s no denying that Die Another Day was a huge box office success. Unfortunately though it pretty much played out as an over the top in joke, kind of like the Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back of the Bond franchise. But without [...]

A bearded James Bond is traded in Die Another Day.

Bond at 50: Die Another Day

We continue our mission to review every James Bond film ever released as we make our way towards the release of Skyfall in October… There’s a line uttered, in extreme exasperation, by Steve Coogan as his most famous creation Alan Partridge, when the character spends an entire episode of I’m Alan Partridge trying to watch [...]

Robert Carlyle as Renard in The World Is Not Enough

Bond at 50: The World Is Not Enough

We continue our mission to review every James Bond film ever released as we make our way towards the release of Skyfall in October… Before we start, here’s a little quiz for you. A Bond brain teaser. Can you spot the deliberate mistake in this piece of dialogue? JAMES BOND: What do I need to [...]

Sean Bean and Pierce Brosnan star in GoldenEye

Bond at 50: GoldenEye

We continue our mission to review every James Bond film ever released as we make our way towards the release of Skyfall in October… Licence To Kill marked the end of an era for the James Bond movies. The world changed, both politically and within the world of film. Perhaps worst of all, an entire [...]

Timothy Dalton and Carey Lowell in Licence to Kill

Bond at 50: Licence to Kill

We continue our mission to review every James Bond film ever released as we make our way towards the release of Skyfall in October… I’m going to be upfront and honest right here. I’m a Timothy Dalton fan. Not one of those Johnny-Come-Lately Dalton fans who have rediscovered him on the back of Daniel Craig’s [...]

Timothy Dalton debuted as James Bond in The Living Daylights

Bond at 50: The Living Daylights

We continue our mission to review every James Bond film ever released as we make our way towards the release of Skyfall in October… Originally Michael G. Wilson conceived The Living Daylights as an origin story, telling the tale of a younger, possibly pre-00 Bond, but Cubby Broccoli had no interest in telling the tale [...]

Christopher Walken and Grace Jones star in A View to a Kill

Bond at 50: A View To A Kill

We continue our mission to review every James Bond film ever released as we make our way towards the release of Skyfall in October… I was 12 when A View To A Kill premiered at the cinema. It was one of the first movies I actively recall being taken to see and, as such, it’s [...]

Sean Connery returns to 007 in Never Say Never Again

Bond at 50: Never Say Never Again

We continue our mission to review every James Bond film ever released as we make our way towards the release of Skyfall in October… Well, here it is. The ‘unofficial’ James Bond film. The competition for Octopussy. The return of Sean Connery. The remake of Thunderball. Is it a case of Never Say Never Again [...]

Roger Moore and Maud Adams in Octopussy

Bond at 50: Octopussy

We continue our mission to review every James Bond film ever released as we make our way towards the release of Skyfall in October… And so we come to Roger Moore’s penultimate Bond adventure and it’s probably fair to say that this is the second worst film in the series. After trying to give Bond [...]
