Really shaky camera work. Some parts of QOS almost gave me a headache!
Perhaps less London locations for action too but that's because I'm a Brit and it feels too local. Having said that, I wouldn't mind an action scene on the London Eye* or hanging from Big Ben, but other than that I'd like to see no more underground London trains or London bridges in future Bond films. ;)
*I do feel the London Eye wheel is crying out for an action scene in a Bond film!
No, but it was the film-makers following the book. Obviously the Mk3 was an old model and they had the chance to use the latest. So they took from Fleming the idea of using an Aston Martin.
I can see NSNA Connery doing that.
Here's some -
DN - First one
FRWL - The Thriller
GF - The Iconic One
TB - Underwater One
YOLT - The Japanese One
OHMSS - The One Where Bond Gets Married
DAF - The Weird One
LALD - The Blaxploitation One
TMWTGG - The Kung-Fu One
Spy - The Ski Jump One
MR - The Space One
FYEO - The Grounded One
OP - The Indian One
LTK - The Vendetta One
GE - The Revival
CR - The Reboot
I've been quite vocal about this, as well. It's been a staple throughout the Craig era, and it's occurred in the last five Bond movies: him going rogue, not being trustworthy, etc. Hopefully, the sixth time is the charm and we don't have to deal with this again for a while.
Which is unnecessary with the exception of QOS. That was his "LTK" and it should have never been done again in any shape or form. I was never a huge fan of smartblood because it's basically the same as the chip being put in his wrist in CR. Or even perhaps, Bond not keeping the secret video from M a secret.
Absolutely!!!!!!!!!!!!
But for me, it all sums up to the fact that he shouldn't have been tracked at all. He spends the first 3/4 of the film in M's doghouse.
DEATH TO SPIES would be a great title.
You've smashed that out of the park chaps. A depressingly shit idea which I couldn't believe they were making out like it was a work of genius when we've seen exactly the same scene 2 films earlier.
And in either film what does it amount to?Bugger all from what I can see. In CR it's never mentioned again until it's cut out of his arm. In SP it's only mentioned in passing by M and when you sit down and think about it you can understand that C is passing SPECTRE info about Bond's location. But erase it completely and spend the 3 minutes you save explaining how Mr White, Quantum, Sciarra and SPECTRE are all linked and do you lose anything?
Only other thing I can add is I felt the same about the signature gun in SF.
How many times do we need to say it? Sack P&W and sort the writing out EON FFS.
Personally I had no problems with the "smart blood", it's different from the tracking chip in CR, an upgrade in technology, wouldn't be surprised if someone like DARPA is working on something similar in real life, however I do agree that I was disappointed in how it was handled in the final film.
I quite like this point. I may add that TMWTGG was a little distracted with the whole kung fu shtick, so I may pose that that was the first sign of an unfocused Bond. In my opinion the lack of focus was at its worst in AVTAK, where we essentially had two stories that did not mesh well - a horse riding arc and an earthquake arc - and didn't complement each other.
It's mostly because the films jump location too much, so there's no air of constancy.

I agree with your points regarding AVTAK. Its almost like two Bond short stories in one film and a horrible attempt to link them. I love the horse race concept in AVTAK, hence why the first half of AVTAK is one of my favourites in the series.
