BEST COMEBACK LINE EVER POSTED ON THE BOARD =)) X_X =D>
You must not get out much, I suppose you've never hit a button twice by mistake, better watch yourself I have people everywhere. :D
We don't know if she will return or not. Their breakup, might there be one, can be off screen. I think one of the strengths of the Craig era is an actual sense of continuity between movies. It changes from the villain of the week formula that makes every movie episodic.
Sorry, just to contradict myself , somehow, it would be more possible to ignore her if it was a new actor playing Bond so it was as if DC's Bond had a happy ending and here is a new Bond.
I really enjoyed the ending. And I am all for showing what happens after the credit rolls, between Bond and the Bond girl.
I've taken more note if the additional nuances which have helped give me a better take on it and some of my doubts and criticisms I've read here aren't such a big deal now.
The empty streets aren't as empty as they seem, nor the train or new intelligence building - there are bodies present but in the periphery to stay out of the focus of the key players.
I'm even passed the tortute scene believability / I naturally just assumed it was needle drills into the brain as I flinched and gritted my teeth with that dentists drill sound. The entry points are jaw line and finer than I recall in the first outing. I imagine Bond was just desperate to get out of there to find somewhere with some codeine paracetamol?
Madeleine got Hinx in the arm with her first shot! Missed that first time out.
Mi6 building had plenty of real life Londoners on the bridge as it erupted - will have to check the embankment with the square ways on shot as the pulse detonations stress across it too.
So. Out of all the talk about the poor plot / writing in some posts, my only observation that I cannot counter with an explanation are the grotto boats that someone has neglected to remove in the decommission of the Mi6 building? Maybe there's nowhere else to keep them in the Thames before the planned demolition in 3 weeks time?
And what kind of knot did Bond tie on Hinx - looked like two full circumferences of the neck but no knot that I saw!?
I'm going with family to see it again next week so will keep a lot out!
Still love it and it gets my 5 stars even if some only struggle to offer 3
Plus, if your a fan of a particular franchise, then you go into the cinema, sort of stressed, without actually knowing it...........because you so desperately want to enjoy the film.
I for one want to go and see SP again, as i obviously missed some things, such as where did Bond get that bleedin plane from, in the Austrian chase scene?
She can still be referred to, if not appear in the movie briefly. Continuity has been working well since the beginning of the Craig era. Beside, it is inevitable that there will be more, with Blofeld alive and well.

Question: anybody else thinks Jinx is better than Madeleine Swann? If I had a girl, I know who I'd want for a positive role model.
Liked it much better then my first viewing of Skyfall, which i though was just "ok".
7,5-8/10
I do think there should be big guy or strong figure in charge of Bond, not sure the current producers really have it though you can't argue with success. Someone to sit down and do a Hitchcock i.e. take the writer through the film, nit pick the plot holes so it hangs together. Instead the films just sort of evolves and falls into place, with the marketing and product placement and song being the main tropes, along with some kind of theme to underpin it. But not actually a strong and logical narrative grounded in reality.
If it keeps him away from being the next show runner for Dr Who it might just be worth it!
I loved SPECTRE but yes it's not good for the future of the franchise to have another troubled script, following QOS and was it TND too?
It really makes you realise what an unsung hero Maibaum was. The films have just never felt the same since the 1989 hiatus.
I recall reading that FRWL was a straight forward affair. Firstly, Johanna Harwood was asked to produce the first screenplay. She insisted on keeping everything from the book and it was a straight adaption. When Richard Maibaum came onboard he added the PTS sequence and SPECTRE along with a few other flourishes. I have no idea what the uncredited Berkely Mather added to the screenplay though? Maybe the chess sequence? I read that Harwood started on the adaption immediately after Dr No was complete. No time was wasted.
*Sigh* I wish they were still that efficient. Maybe Kathleen Kennedy over at Disney needs to produce these movies. They got the rights to Star Wars and she's already got five films lined up, one a year. Maybe she could give a few pointers to Babs...
And yes, I liked it very, very much. I´m not going to write much more because I need to see it again, maybe two times at least. After that I can say where it lands in my charts.
The PTS was absolutely fantastic, among the best in the series. The Rome-sequence (Spectre meeting) gave me chills. Cuckoo! The action was fantastic, especially the PTS and that train fight. I just need to see it again...
And yes. Ernst Stavro Blofeld is back. Many people have been saying that Waltz was a bit lame or boring, maybe not so inspirational as usual. I don´t think so. His Blofeld gave me shivers down my spine. Can´t wait to see him again... and we will see him again, that´s for sure.
And I might be mean, but I cannot wait to see the face of those who advocated Scott as Blofeld. Actually I won't see their face, but figuratively speaking. What did I say? Jekyll & Hyde/Dracula twist.
