Geoffrey Moore Blasts 3-Hour Comic-Book Films as He Pushes Spy Thriller Knightfall

Summary
Geoffrey Moore said Hollywood has become too dependent on comic-book franchises, spectacle and “TikTok” culture, arguing that strong dialogue and storytelling now take a back seat.
Knightfall, the British spy film he stars in, was built to counter that trend with a tighter runtime and plot-driven tension rather than nonstop action or blockbuster-scale effects.
Moore, 60, called the project his first acting role in 33 years and said its independent production gave it more freedom from studio executives and franchise formulas.
The son of Roger Moore also weighed in on James Bond, saying the next 007 should reflect the times and carry the role for a decade, not simply inherit the franchise after Amazon MGM took creative control in 2025.
Knightfall’s release lets Moore promote both a return to screen acting and a broader case for British films that favor story, brevity and character over budget-heavy repetition.
