I never thought about that. I liked the robe.
unless there is a cut somewhere we dont yet know about... like - when Moneypenny arrives to hand over his effects, he is in his normal attire.. but then maybe we cut to later, when he starts to examine the contents of what was in the package, he is in a robe..
- It is very Fleming-esque. I feel that Spectre is probably the pinnacle of DC's evolution into Fleming's Bond, with SF being a big step towards that. But everything from the Bond/M relationship, to him in the flat, to the Moroccan train.
- I bloody love the return of Mr. White, and the connection with Swann.
- The brutality and sheer scale of the SPECTRE organisation. They have a real sinister edge, a feeling I never got with Quantum (wherever that fits in).
- Swann might shape up to be a classic. Seydoux is absolutely beautiful and despite her slightly dodgy accent, I think the character has really good grounding.
I will reserve my judgement about how good the film is going to be, but looks fantastic if the trailer is anything to go by!
PM me or explain in spoiler tag because whatever it is, I obviously don't see it.
@Gareth007fan It is
Am I the only that has a big feel of Eyes Wide Shut watching the trailer? Also, I see how much Mendes is influenced by the stage. The way his actors move and are placed on the scene. Pure theatre. I have seen his King Lear, and there is a lot in the trailer reminiscent of it.
Sinister indeed:
I mean, one can electrocute a failed S.P.E.C.T.R.E.-member. Or throw him to the piranhas. But popping out a guy's eye with your thumb, then crushing his neck......I think it's one of the most horrific, cruel acts executed by a henchman.
And this girl, well, if I am a nerd, then she the god of nerds LOL:
the guy in the shadow is supposedly going to be blofeld.
I love the positive reaction of a non Bond fan.
I thought the trailer was outstanding overall. My initial reaction had my excitement peaked when Q introduced the DB10 in classic fashion, the OHMSS theme, the scene with Madeline Swann donning the white dinner jacket, and Waltz's chilling dialogue at the SPECTRE meeting. This picture is going to be fully loaded.
And then I watched it a few more times to pick up on some of the subtle details of the trailer. That got me to thinking about how the actual film will play out (and the post I made the other day in the rankings thread). The trailer shows equal parts serious and menacing as it does humor and flash. If they can pull off all 4 parts of that appropriately blended together, well done -- they have mastered the art of James Bond in film. Though, it certainly leaves some questions for how the whole thing will be pieced together. What will its identity be?
If anything those additional thoughts have me anticipating the release even more now.
Hoping this is Craig's TB / YOLT.
I agree. Because next to all its 'grandness', there's still a lot of emotional drama/depth. Something we saw in OHMSS and CR. So....at best you can describe it as the perfect "martini shaked not stirred". It has everything, but it also feels like a film on its own.
Maybe he will go rogue the entire mission, because he asks Q to make him disappear, but it could also mean he is protecting M against his superiors by keeping him unknown.
Just thinking out loud... Another theory based on the trailer :-).
Also in the scene where bond asks Q for help disappearing is that
The OHMSS theme is a nice nod there obviously just for the trailer as reworked version would be a bit far in the film. Hopefully Newman will be a bit less generic and realise he's scoring a Bond film and not any old spy film.
He can't not ramp up the JB theme and I'd expect it in some form in the PTS and scattered throughout the film, maybe full blown a few times and also some subtle arrangements. As well as give us something stirring and exciting.
I would agree with the many that are saying this is looking like Craig's most Bondian entry to date, using the classic elements and giving them a contemporary spin. Also Mr White returning is a stroke of genius. The film Looks haunting, tense and exciting with a good dose of humour, Waltz looks the business whoever he turns out to be, although those little nods to you know who, are either where this is going or one big misdirection.
I don't think you'll ever get a flippant he's just on a mission entry with Craig, the personal stakes are always going to play into it somehow. I'm inclined to think that they aren't going to jettison that take even with the next actor that steps into the role. The next person that accepts the challenge I can't imagine will be signing up to play Bond like previous entries where he just gets a mission and gets on with it. I think some of you want it but the character has moved on too much now from that but I guess we'll see.
Can't wait till November 2nd when I get to see it for the first time.
SPECTRE meeting, shadowy organization, Bond becoming the lover of a girlfriend/wife of a villain, large scale plot, Italian and French Bond girls, a parade scene, etc. It is reminiscent of TB, to a degree. OHMSS too.
