Spectre has faults??? :))
joking ;)
I'm surprised at myself that I rank it No 1. Before SP I would never have dreamed of having two Craig movies in my Top 10 let alone Top 5.
It was the perfect experience at the cinema, like GE and TLD before.
I was walking on air for days in all three cases.
I went 11 times to see it. Which is a record for me, that might only be broken once the first Justice League movie is realised :)
I'm looking forward to watching Spectre again. It is pretty much the film that I wanted from Craig all the way back in 2005.
Die Another Day at #1, it could only be Chandler Bong. ;)
Have you actually seen the films, or just heard about them through Chinese whispers? Frankly, I find your observation nonsensical. Craig has brought an emotional depth and variation in a way no one before him has.
I'm tough on the latter half of SP, but there's pretty good stuff all the way up through the Austria scenes. From Tangiers on it becomes a garden-variety Bond story, but there's some fun stuff beforehand, at least for me.
Wow. What a blast from the past. Good recall.
Based on Wilsons comments on B25 & how their trying to come up with something new & a threat thats currently or will be ahead of our time, I believe the next one will be a tad darker.
Well I always want new Bond movies, but with the whole mentioning of "Brothers" in the leaks, that worried me a lot, so I didn't know if I was going to like it or not but luckily my worries were squashed and I loved the film considerably. :D
Not the kind you pretend to like & throw eternally in the closet either.
One you keep looking at.....
Oh you are so right about that. I can't stop watching it. I've watched it 4 times and watching random scenes from it more than that. In a way it sort of is like a second GoldenEye for me. :D
=D>
I must admit that the first half really has some good sequences. I found the Spectre meeting quiet good and it is shot very well. I also liked the conversation between Bond and Mr. White.
After watching Golden Eye yesterday I thought that the Spectre meeting is somehow similar to the Graveyard scene in Golden Eye. The villain talking to Bond and moving out of the shadows. I still prefer the sequence in Golden Eye. I think it is just more suspensefull and the personal relationship between the two antagonists is much more believable which make the sequence more intense.
I'm also in the camp that thinks that Spectre's first half was more enjoyable than the second half.
Emotionless? I believe he sheds a tear in Skyfall, is visibly distraught at Vesper's death, gets angry and moody in Quantum of Solace - he's probably the most emotional Bond yet, so much so people are even calling him 'emo Bond'. And so much so that people on here are complaining about it.
Bond. Luckily he has such range as an actor, that he can do it so well. He's also proven
( Again only my opinion) that he's also gifted as a light comedian, when required :)
@Thunder***** I agree with you on all fronts there.
"emotionless" is certainly the wrong word. I am completely with you that Craig is an emotional Bond. The thing is: He is always in the same mood and that is what annoys me. Even when he smiles it seems forced to me. The expressions on his face do not vary that much. All other Bond actors had not been that emotional but showed more than one dimensions. There were times when they were happy and times when they were sad, charming or angry. They could be a cold blooded killer but also a gentle man. For me Craig never really got rid of the character who is first of all a cold blooded assassin who is permanently in a bad mood.
Sorry, but you are wrong.
I said it long ago, Spectre is the new GoldenEye and it will be loved as much.
To have two such movies now in this franchise is a gift from Heaven, eternally grateful to anyone involved doing Spectre.
I hopnestly think that Golden Eye is better in every category except for the score which is bad in both films and the cinematography which is indeed great in both films.
Golden Eye has arguably the best ensemble of villains, a great climax, intersting alies and a unique post cold war story. The acton sequences are also unique and meorable. Even today people are talking about the Bungee jump or the tank chase.
Dr. Swann called Bond "a good man," and that is a first in the Bond series. There have been times, particularly from GE on, where the films portray Bond as a profoundly flawed anti-hero. I was happy to see a character finally come out and praise Bond's fundamental goodness. This was overdue.
Bond is an anti-hero, an assassin.
