Just got to take a few sips of Phu Yuck along the way.
Roger is truly bad ass in this film.
I wouldn’t say it’s an identity crisis. Bond’s state of mind in QoS was very different compared to Casino Royale. Vesper’s death affected him more than he’s willing to deal with and it’s affected his attitude towards dealing with others. He’s a bit colder and his action scenes are portraying that, although the pace of these scenes are too manic, exhibiting Bourne’s influence on QoS, but the events of Casino Royale shows that this change isn’t without reason. Outside of Bond’s character, the film stylistically is rather good and the major story issues were caused by the Writer’s Strike.
When the film ends with Bond confronting Yusef, it’s almost a return to the Bond we know and love. And the editing was steadied enough to show that Bond has truly moved on. It’s not a film without flaws but it’s definitely a Bond film.
SF is perplexing. It has a so many commendable elements and I totally understand the love i here and in a wider context.
I just don’t like it and can’t bring myself to. Mostly due to Mendes’s ponderous style (already documented) but also because they explored Bond’s mortality.
Please, please don’t explore Bond’s mortality. It doesn’t belong in the cinematic Bond universe.
I’m not referring to the character, but the film itself.
I get that part. I thought the film style was intentionally reflective of Bond himself.

Same here never a dull moment with Roger. I watched OP twice last year, it has high rewatchabality than any of his bond films.
Great lines thanks for reminding. I am going to make a tribute for bond and Roger's bond separately. Those lines would be great to add in it.
A quality Hugh Jackman could have brought to the role . It rare that an actor can convincingly do both.
Unfortunately, Moore favored the lighter, more cavalier, at times silly side of the character as his tenure progressed.
I couldn't find any replacement for Hugh Jackman at the moment for bond. Damn good Actors are hard to find these days.
I always felt Roger turned in his best performance in Goldeneye, but Never Say Never Again was certainly the low point of his career.
I never left ;)
He never quite hit the heights of Sean Connery in The Man Who Haunted Himself.
I thought it was a fantastic game and deserved a sequel. Definitely an underrated game in genetal and driving the db5 was easily one of the best levels on the game. Overall it gave one a pretty good idea as to what a non personal Craig Bond film could be like. The game still holds up very well and the musical score is definitely much better than SF's and SP's.
In fact, this weekend I'm going to watch Doctor No, FRWL, CR and QoS then cap the weekend off replaying some of Blood Stone.
Not a very positive or negative post, but I do have a feeling they’re going to bring in a new composer. It might end being a great thing, though I love Arnold’s Bond scores and think he was the best composer we got after Barry.
Agreed with this - had loads of fun with Blood Stone.
Sounds like a fun weekend - enjoy, @doubleoego
Cheers. I have no intention on going anywhere or seeing anyone this weekend. It's me, Bond and a cracking good time. If time permits I may even throw in to the mix OHMSS or GE.
