To be fair, that director has been responsible for 2 Bond reboots & those movies are 2 of the best bond movies, of the past 30 years -- nm - flavorize Apr 29, 16:00 13

  - Yep. No doubt. But, who takes it on, and who is a bankable director, that will get a decent budget, and care. Kevin Smith? Cares a lot, but... - flavorize Apr 29, 16:09 8

      - Kevin Smith is a tyrant!! -- nm - Bruce Willis Apr 29, 16:24
- But Bond and GL are not even in the same universe! -- nm - cappie Apr 29, 16:01 2
  - The direction was not good. But the thought (of who to get) was solid. Bad actor choice, very very bad script -- nm - flavorize Apr 29, 16:03 1
    - Really. Should've been a better villain. Could've done 25% of the movie, on the villain they chose, and 75% on the villain (spoils) - flavorize Apr 29, 16:05
