The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is an impossibly glib, rip-roaring, and exciting action picture. It’s the type of old-fashioned entertainment full of movie stars who get the job done, cracking-wise, and goddamn, they look good doing it. You can’t help but get swept up in the action and think a franchise is born.
It helps to have a cast with this much swashbuckling beefcake, including a Superman, a Reacher, and a G.I. Joe. The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is a film my wife calls the “Five Hot Guys” movie, with lots of eye candy and bloodshed for everyone involved. In a way, it is the perfect date movie.

Daniel Craig breathed fresh life into James Bond, the iconic British spy that Ian Fleming created. The actor took the character and put a different spin on it, and it was clear from the get-go in Casino Royale.
The film’s success exceeded expectations, and Craig’s outing as the protagonist was greatly appreciated too. He donned the skin of the character with panache and delivered a memorable performance. Moreover, the film established a trend after 19 years, that its predecessors had deviated from.

Henry Cavill is one of the most in-demand actors in the industry. The British star has been the face of numerous franchises, such as the Dceu, where he played Superman, or the demon-slaying Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher series. With every role, Cavill has set the bar higher, especially when it comes to embodying the physical aspects of a character.
The Man of Steel actor will be seen in a new avatar quite soon, playing the role of a spy. It is a full circle moment for Cavill since he lost out to Daniel Craig to play a special character almost two decades ago. However, he is set to play the person who inspired the legendary character.

The conversations that have surrounded the casting of a Black actor in the role of James Bond have been loaded, to say the least. While the wider conversation of race-bending characters has always been an ongoing debate in Western Cinema, James Bond is a character that has found itself at the center of this wider debate, and according to Skepta, it’s about time someone took matters into their own hands.
Skepta
Skepta has embarked on an endeavor to create his undercover secret agent, reminiscent of James Bond. However, since the artist has found himself turned off from the conversation about the new James Bond being Black, he has created a character who would essentially be a Black James Bond, to put the matter to rest.

Before the underrated "Quantum of Solace" made longtime Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson panic, we had a near-perfect 007 film. 2006's "Casino Royale" is easily the best Bond movie, but bringing it to fruition was anything but easy.
Imagine having to reinvent James Bond, a figure who in the early 2000s had been a cultural mainstay for more than 40 years — a figure who'd been reinvented time and time again and whose cultural appeal was arguably lessening as the world moved into the new millennium. Things weren't helped by the fact that 2002's "Die Another Day" was widely regarded as a low point for the long-running franchise, even though some might argue for it, too, being an underrated Bond movie.
In other words, refreshing well-worn IP that was rapidly losing its appeal was never going to be easy, and that wasn't just true in the macro sense. Specific scenes...

Quentin Tarantino was once interested in making his own James Bond movie. Although he’d never join the roster of Bond filmmakers due to creative reasons, Tarantino also had his sights set on another MI6 spy series.
Quentin Tarantino would’ve made a much cheaper James Bond movie Quentin Tarantino | Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic
Tarantino was very vocal about his desire to direct a James Bond film. His Bond would’ve maintained Pierce Brosnan as the lead, and would’ve lifted direct inspiration from Ian Flemming’s first Bond novel Casino Royale.
Of course in order to make his vision a reality, Tarantino would’ve had to go through the original Bond producers first. He felt it should’ve taken little convincing since he was positive the 007 agent would be in good hands under his guidance.
“I don`t see that they have anything to lose at all,” Tarantino once told...
