With SP we got something, but I am still not sure what with all the money going towards fancy cars, buildings and big bangs and no humanity or extra's involved. Were Mendes involved in the next 007 movie I will sit that one out until we get a next team. So no I did not get what I wanted at all. As Bond fan the last three 007 outings have not been to my liking.
Very misleading, at first they probably wanted to create the illusion SP was Skyfall Part II.
Remake of OHMSS.
IMO, you don't see much Dustin Hoffman setting up elaborated traps, Straw Dogs is rather a fantasy of instant violence to solve every problem.
Whatever is at hand to defend it. I remember reading many martial arts magazines
explaining how to turn ordinary items into weapons, very interesting reading. Infact
I've seen a few used in the Jason Bourne movies, Yet old Jason seems to be given a pass
On the home alone jokes. :)
Well apparently Bond was originally going to say to Swann at the end that they have all the time in the world.
SF has a story?
SF has a story. It's plot that is lacking.
Sounds like TWINE with a shot of GoldenEye.
Well I rank TWINE and SF both very low.
TWINE was at least original. SF just a cheap, if very good-looking, copy of the same story.
And against Elektra, Silva is a clown.
And if Silva's only mission was to kill M, why didn't he kill her in her flat? Or in the ensuing MI6 explosion? Or at the council meeting? Or any other time? Perhaps the goals of Silva and Renard/Elektra aren't the exact same, after all.
The story to me is about a Mother figure who has spawned two sons, both of whom she left to die. One is hell-bent on destroying her, the other will do anything to save her.
Silva pursuing her is just one part of a splintered and at times incoherent plot.
Mendes is very much into archetypes and myths. Everyone is, but he knows it.
Sounds like Grey's Anatomy, Season 10.
Except that M dies, the villain is much more complex, the action sequences are superb and flat-out embarrass TWINE, there's some pretty interesting quotes about resolve from a major poet, and that Bond's history is revealed in a poetic and interesting way that relates to the story.
Silva is as complex as Mini-Me in Austin Powers but on the rest I agree. The little action that SF sees is top-notch and beautifully choreographed. It's poetry in motion.
