I don't expect very deep movie knowledge from Tom Cruise fans, but you could have told which version did you see, at least. Would be easier just to list "his" good movies. In general I find him big waste of time unless there's some heavy hitter name behind the camera (Ridley Scott, Oliver Stone, Michael Mann, Stanley Kubrick...) Indeed, one of the best musicals I've seen. No. Just finished watching the documentary myself. Quite interesting stuff. I believe it doesn't have Adam Driver in it, which is a huge plus. It's not a question of not seeing his movies, trust me, I've seen them so many times that I have memorized them. From Russia with Love and Thunderball are among my favourite Bonds. Goldfinger on the other hand, I find a bit overrated. Would have helped if I had seen it in 1964 with fresh eyes. The first Bond I saw was Moonraker in 1979 at age of 9 or 10 and it made me instantly a fan of the series. After that I saw re-runs of these movies in theater, Connery's and Moore's films in a mixed order. LOL. He used to make good pictures (Memento, The Prestige, Batman Begins), but lately he hasn't be so strong. Connery's era was before I was born, so he is a bit distant to me, but he is one of the three greats (others being Moore and Craig). Bond's death isn't a problem. They'll just reboot the series. Besides continuity hasn't been very important in Bond franchise before, they were stuck to it only during the Craig era. Craig's storyline formed an entity of it's own and they won't continue from the ending of No Time to Die. Barbara Broccoli has said that they'll have to "re-invent" Bond. That means probably lots of changes. That might be good, or not. Hopefully they won't go back to Brosnan era. That was one of the most boring and staled period of time in the history of Bond franchise. Casino Royale brought Bond kicking and screaming back alive from the brink of death. View all replies >
