Well now that they've established that Time Lords can change race and gender there should be no issue with Bond being Idris Elba (or Tilda Swinton) :emoji_wink:

The problem with Craig's Bond is that Casino Royale was followed up with Quantum of Solace which (partly due to the writers strike) suffered from not being very good. I've watched it twice now and I'm still not fully sure what's happening in it. It's like they finished filming all the action...

It's almost as though DC doesn't understand what it is that people like about their characters and comic book stories.

Avengers was a masterclass in how to write a multi-lead-actor story. Six leads all getting roughly equal screen time (Jeremy Renner lost out a bit in the final cut). Demonstrates the benefits of having the characters set up in their own individual movies (or as guests in another movie like Black...

It had some good ideas and I quite like Henry Cavill in the role. But it was a bit too depressing for my tastes and the fact that it was an origin movie made it hard to take, since we didn't really get to see Superman (as the character we know and love) at all. It might have been reassessed if...

Bit confused that the pic used above is actually from Age of Ultron.

From the books, at least from my understanding, it doesn't appear that anyone realises that the ring needed to be destroyed in Isildur's time. They just knew of it as a weapon of Sauron and probably assumed that once it was taken from him it could be used by whoever had it. There's nothing to...

I've got the first 2 series (Heir to the Empire and Jedi Academy) and I ended up working my way through a dozen or so of Kevin J. Anderson's Young Jedi series. I read a few more of the main series after that but found the quality was pretty hit and miss so never really explored much further. I'd...

Well I'm a big ACC fan too but wasn't so keen on the Rama sequels. On the other hand, despite ACC being credited as co-author, I suspect his writing credit was simply for allowing the privilege of writing the sequels.

That's not at all nice. Neither Ferengi nor Klingons deserve that.

Good point I'd forgotten that. I read 2061 and wasn't hugely excited by it. Never bothered with 3001. Is it worth the effort?

Unless his father was murdered by someone who was trying to throw suspicion on him. Waits until he has a fight with his father and goes out. Steals his knife (rather than him losing it) and commits the murder. And I can easily imagine someone watching a movie after a big fight with someone and...

The way 3D printing is going we're getting closer to having replicators.

I'd never have guessed :emoji_alien:

I've always preferred the books over the movies. 2001 is great but I prefer the book. 2010 isn't up to the same standards in either the book or movie versions (although both are good) but I still prefer the book. The movie was a little preachy with its war message which was far more subtle in...

I loved this movie. It's as cheesy as an extra cheese pizza without the pizza but a lot of fun.

I love this book series and would be thrilled to see a decent series / movie trilogy made. They may have missed the boat on the "dystopian future" concept as its pretty much been done to death in cinema in recent years.

Since they're planning on making this part of an ongoing franchise I suspect you may be safe in this instance.

I'm not optimistic about this one. Han Solo is Harrison Ford. I don't think I'll be able to believe anyone else in the role. It's possible that I'll be proved wrong and if so I'll be very happy about it, but I feel that this one could be a misfire.

I think the original plan to split this into 2 movies might have worked ok. I didn't mind the idea of adding in the extra material with Gandalf and the necromancer. The story suffered more from being rushed into production after the change in directors and left Peter Jackson with not enough time...
