Sounds to me that he isn't dying, therefore, it won't be his last movie laughing out loud

Really hoping this turns out to be a good send-off to Craig and that Malek is somewhat of a physical threat to Bond as well. LeChiffre, Dominic Greene, and Silva actually got their hands dirty and boots on the ground to try to kill Bond. It felt weird in SPECTRE to have Blofeld (who is built like a NFL linebacker in the books) played by 5'7" 165 pound Christoph Waltz.

Agreed, want a great film as a sendoff.

Didn't have trouble with Waltz as Blofeld myself, not the first time the character was depicted by a smaller man or not physically intimidating man. The threat to Bond in the film was from his intellect and cunning, not physical; it worked several times in film, imo.

Having said that, Vincent D'onofrio would be a perfect combo of intellectual and physical threat for a future Bond film with the character, when they reboot.

Blofeld in the movies has never been physically imposing. Donald Pleasence, Telly Savalas, Charles Grey - none of them linebacker types. Blofeld threatened Bond because of his gifts as a strategist.

Danial Craig plays a realistic role in the Bond series.

Waiting to watch him again in the classy black suit and solving some mystery in his own style...

True, and I did enjoy all the previous Blofeld performances (well, except Gray in Diamonds). Liked Max von Sydow's look in Never Say Never Again as well. And yes, the script let down Waltz as Blofeld way moreso than his physical build.

I'd just like more of the physical imposing force combined with intelligence and wit on the silver screen. I must admit Rob, Mr. D'onofrio as Blofeld is not something I'd ever dream of, but now I would certainly like to see.

This should be "Bond 25: Time To Stop Making These Movies For Awhile".

He for sure has the acting range, just needs a coach to get him the speech patterns down.

Looking at his stats and Craig's: he would TOWER over Daniel. Boom, perfect tank intellectual Ernst Stavro Blofeld.

Looks like a good action flick.

good trailerthumb up

Loved that they're using the classic Bond Aston Martin DB5.

Am happy to see Craig go, I like him as Bond, but his time has come. Thank you for your service, sir.

Not happy that they're giving the 007 title to another person/character, as James Herbert Bond is 007. They should have just created a second MI6 Double-O franchise and gone that path, but I'm not going crazy over it, as long as they bring back Bond as 007 in the near future/reboot.

I'm not a massive James Bond fan. The only one I really liked was Casino Royale. I just don't usually much care for the narratives. I haven't liked the last few much at all, but this one looks like it might have some particularly compelling action sequences.

This looks a lot better than Spectre, and I really enjoyed Spectre.

John Murdoch
So, rumor has it that Mr. Malek's Bond villain Safin is actually Dr. No.

I don't buy it after the "I'm Franz Oberhauser, not Blofeld" no-so-well-kept-secret act from Waltz prior to SPECTRE releasing (and Star Trek: Into Darkness having the John Harrison SURPRISE! It's Khan reveal), but it'd still be cool IMO

Yeah, can't say I'm a big fan. I did enjoy Goldeneye(mostly because of the game). This movie doesn't look half bad.
