Yeah, like changing the sky (SF and SP), so it doesn't look blue, but lightbrown I guess.
Nah, I disagree with you there @Zekidk. For instance, Hoyte van Hoytema Always uses filters. He did so on "Interstellar", "Her" and also "Dunkirk". They all have a certain mood. "SPECTRE" to me had a moore moody, Kubrick-esque atmosphere. And the sandy look gave the film a somewhat eerie feel. Right down to the torture sequence. But again, that's just my personal opinion :-).
You can apply that logic to anything artistic.
It's only the people that really dislike SF think SP is better, the films are night and day.
It's amazing to think they were made by the same director, one looks like everyone was determined to make the best film they could, the other stank of lack of ideas and a cobbled together screenplay.
Also Deakins cinematography was so much better than Hoyt and I really rate his work with Alfredson and of course his work on Dunkirk was mesmerising.
I'll put it down to Mendes obviously didn't gel with him like he did with Thomas & Chris.
I liked both but thought SP was better.
Yeah, of course. It's all about creative choices and personal preference. Some we like, some we don't. The black and white PCS from CR? I love it. Same goes for the neon-lit China in SF. Colorgrading the sky so it looks lightbrown? That I don't like, even though others consider it to be "great."
No offence but you love Brosnan so I can see why that would be the case, SPECTRE is essentially a Pierce film with Craig in, one of the reasons I can't stand it.
Save the PTS all the action sequences are devoid of tension and danger, much like I viewed all the PB era bar GE.
ok.
What the heck is that supposed to mean?
I don't get why you're advocating an out and out cinematic Bond film for Bond 25 in one thread and criticising SP and the Brosnan era in another? What's the difference? You often criticise these films for being cliche ridden but then say you want a celebration of the cinematic Bond and want them to bring back another cliche (the big battle at the end).
And for the record @Murdock I agree with you. I like both very much but thought SP was a lot better. Kept the style, class, tone and character stuff that SF did well but was less pretentious, more fun and self aware and had better action and a better story too imo.
Aside from Dumbledore rescuong Harry with that fire spell in the cave it really isn't. It's not bad but it's the least good-looking of all 8 films.
I think he is just blowing smoke.

What about the PTS of Skyfall, when bond gets shot off the train ,smashes into the river from a great distance and looks like he is dead as he is drowning then emerges from all that alive and well scenes later. ?
What's with that ?
To me the SF PTS is the better one too. It's like one hell of a giant chase from start to end. Very much like the Miami chase scene in CR and the OP chase bomb sequence. Just love that..
I like SP's up to the building collapse (so basically the tracking shot which is all about style). Once the 'action' kicks in, I am bored beyond words, which is the case with all the action in the film bar the Hinx fight.
Hopefully they give us something tense in 2 years time.
-PTS
-SPECTRE meeting
-Mr. White's final moments
-Bond meets and saves Madeleine in Austria.
-Train fight
Well, spectre has a ton of great moments. The helicopter spinning, the tracking shot, the part when he shoots the flare. Some of the shots of the board room meeting. The drift with the aston in rome. The part when he ejects out of the car. The plane chase. The train fight. Theyres a lot to love. Unfortunately theres a lot of shit. And sprinkles in a shit ice cream, dont make it tasty
So it wasnt just mine then
