I've always been fond of You Only Live Twice. It's not a better film than Goldfinger but for me it's got spectacle and is really entertaining. For Your Eyes Only is a very underrated film but the fact it lacks the gadgets that plagued the Roger Moore era made it a pleasant surprise. And I'm also an advocate of Tomorrow Never Dies. To me Goldeneye looks like it was rushed with a bit of a daft script and some slightly shonky effects. TND has one of the best intros in the series and looks amazing considering it was filmed with the script not yet finished and Anthony Hopkins pulling out at the last minute and being replaced by Jonathan Pryce.

I quite enjoyed the 1987 film although it veered away from the source material quite dramatically. Arnie was not some 'everyman' and the film has aged. Paul Michael Glaser was the third director attached to the film after the first two, Andrew Davis and Ferdinand Fairfax, left the film after wanting to make changes to the screenplay that the producers didn't want. I hope this version comes across more accurately.

I have no problem with Snipes carrying on with the role although he's sixty something now. However with the multiverse part of the MCU I don't see why we can't have both of them in the same film and then hand over to Ali in a sequel. In some ways it would make sense and appease both camps, making a handover of the character much more fluid than a simple hard reboot. As for Snipes trouble in the past, who cares? RDJ showed it can be done when he was given the chance so why not give Snipes the same opportunity.
