I do think I'd like to see a Nolan Bond movie, just to see what he'd create visually and aurally. I think it would be pretty awesome. He has that visual flair.
Actually, a lot of the computer stuff in GE (especially the scenes in Mi6) look more impressive and more convincing now than what was in QoS. I have a hard time believing that that sort of technology was so prominent in the real mi6 in 2008.
Totally agree. I always thought it was a shame that they felt it necessary to move out of the old office in GE and IT got more and more ridiculous until the QOS MI6 looked like something out of scifi .
My favourite moment in SF was when you see the new M back in the old office at the end of the movie - the third time that the Craig era has ended the film by suggesting that everything is now back to normal... Only for it not to be!
Looked fine to me. I just love that it's back. It has been on wish list since GE but never thought I'd see it happen.
It's really odd. There's so much about Mendes's approach that I like, but then I sit and watch Skyfall and just find the execution really annoying. I am hoping that his intentions and my expectations are fully reconciled with SP. The trailer makes me feel optimistic that I'm going to like SP a lot more than SF.
Yeah it was great in the days of Connery/Moore/Maxwell but that was 50 odd years ago. Do people still have offices like that in the world of espionage? (seriously - I don't know). Seems quite dated now in itself.
Totally agree. That cosy quality is one of the things that I loved about the Glenn movies - it provided a nice sense of continuity.
It's supposed to be a Whitehall senior civil servant's office. I think it's totally plausible that this kind of room still exists. It's also an integral part of the Bond world. Getting rid of it was a bit like Dr Who without the tardis.
It was a homage to the "old" Bonds because of the anniversary.
Nothing of that set will be around for Spectre. That was just like a mini-movie in itself reminiscing of the days when Roger or Sean entered the realm of Moneypenny and M.
Could have been a webisode as well really.
I'm pretty sure in Spectre we will see the usual modern office.
Fair enough.
Correction...
To be honest, many of the Bond films post 60s have a bit of a "television" feel to them. This could be down to budget issues.
Hey I've overlooked that! Ok, so I was totally wrong :))
All the better! IMO
And I expect Moneypenny to sit and wait for James to enter her office and throw his hat....ok, ok.... :))
Granted, LTK does feel low budget in places. Mainly because it was! Benicio Del Toro is a pretty cool breakthrough for LTK though. I'm not going to die in a ditch defending LTK - I have my issues with it like you do - but I do think it 'feels' closer to the old school Bond movies, despite the spot of ultra violence. I put that down to Glenn's directing and still a fair bit of continuity with the original era. Q's presence is of course welcome (by me at least).
That's the problem. You haven't watched the movie in 20 years. You got to take the time to rewatch it. I don't care how you feel about the man. Your current opinion is outdated and in need of reevaluation. You have to watch Goldeneye with an unbiased view. You can't watch it as. OH BROSNAN STOLE THIS FROM DALTON. Last year I hated TMWTGG then watched it again this year and it wasn't so bad. You can't let a 20 year old opinion drive you. I've rewatched a lot of movies I've disliked to see how they hold up. You're simply not giving the man a chance. It's time for a rewatch. I want to know what Present day Getafix thinks, not 1996 Getafix.
I get the feeling that, when it comes to Brosnan as Bond, Getafix's mind is mind is made up. He's hated it for 20 years. Why would young people like us change his mind?
IF he's going to re-watch one it should be TND as that seems to be the one he's least hateful and bias towards.
Perhaps, but letting a 20 year old viewing determine my view of an actor or film for the rest of time is rather...laughable. As a teen I hated Licence To Kill and Dalton but in 2011 I watched LTK again and it's gone up considerably. It hasn't gone well in this viewing but at least I gave it another chance.
First impressions have a habit of sticking.
GE and TND still have enough enthusiasm to keep me entertained enough (though the latter is far from a favourite).
This, though for me GE and TWINE age like a fine wine and are still very good films to me. TND has gone down a bit and Die Another Day makes for good alcoholic beverage drinking. :))
Yes, It's first half is great.
There's some bad acting from Teri Hatcher particularly as well as some poor dialogue ("when it comes to a choice between you and Elliot I've made my bed...you don't sleep in it anymore")
...and her reading of "It's the easiest way to get in, don't argue with me James"
In the words of Nostalgia Critic "I'M ACTING".
