Daniel Craig is very intense as James Bond: Lea Seydoux

All the familiar tropes of a James Bond film are present, meet with Q, get a toy, ignore your boss’ orders, get the girls, have a martini, etc.

The newest movie featuring the British superspy, titled “Spectre”, opened on November 6 and immediately became a box office hit, scoring the second-best domestic opening weekend for the franchise.

Whatever route the series takes moving forward, casting and direction are key and I hope they continue with the current success model in play. It’s nearly certain he will do one more outing as Bond.

He has cut an image of 23 films out of the 24 Bond back catalogue all playing at exactly the same time.

A gargantuan 8418 litres of fuel and 33 kilograms of explosives were used to create the scene. which was filmed in Erfoud, Morocco.

A huge blast featured in the new James Bond film has been named the largest movie stunt explosion ever – earning it a Guinness World Record.

Yesterday, lead actors Daniel Craig and Seydoux appeared with producer Barbara Broccoli (presumably, Sam Mendes had other stuff to do) to receive the official certificate from the Guinness committee, though the title will be formally held by special effects supervisor Chris Corbould.

“The Peanuts Movie” took the second spot with $45 million, while “The Martian” took the third spot with $9.3 million, and “Goosebumps ” the fourth spot with $6.9 million.

The film has received mixed reviews, numerous critics either gave the film a good or negative score.

I have been looking forward to Spectre since I saw the first trailer for it. Getting to delve deeper into the character of Bond after Skyfall was super exciting. The fight between Bond and a memorable henchman played by Dave Bautista on a train is a great combination of the visceral and the elegant. Of course, there’s not much about that terrible Bond movie that doesn’t enrage me, so really that gadget is just white noise.

Of course what we want to know is what criteria does Guinness use to determine the largest explosion in cinematic history.
