To me that says a lot, like Mendes should have done one and that should have been it. Although Blohauser/Brofeld will always be the factor and that god awful theme it sits there as well as after the PTS being devoid of suspense and thrills.
I'll be honest about the DC era when it deserves it and I can't defend that film one bit, wish it wasn't the case.
I invested in it whereas TND, TWINE & DAD I didn't which would definitely be langishing near he bottom of the pile and DAF.
The major disappointment it was for me is why I have it there.
Even Craig's performance in it is arrogant and unconvincing.
The reappraisal for QoS only begun around the time of SF's release. Between 2008 and 2012 it was quite difficult being a fan of that film. So tastes changes, as it will with SP in due time for some.
It was a little painful being a huge fan of QoS in a time where everyone else seemed to hate it, but that never made me retroactively change my opinion or question how much I enjoyed it that opening night, thankfully. I think my love and appreciation for it has only grown in the last decade (to note that it's been a decade since it was released is astounding - where does the time go?)
With SP I went to the theatre 4 times ... bought the tickets in advance. I was worried when they cast Waltz, horrified when I heard the title song for the first time and when I saw the abysmal title sequence I was ... embarassed. There were some great scenes in it, great visuals ... but the last third ruined everything. I can‘t sit through it anymore today. To me it‘s 24/24 ... even all Q scenes plus the Altaussee-sequence were wonderful.
Like ordering a straightforward, reliable dish at a restaurant and the chef ruins it by putting a wrong ingredient in.
Agree. There are plenty of films with lesser budgets delivering far better action scenes.
Don't forget that explosion I guess it was all worthwhile to see that, wasn't it?
That budget and the results we got, can't believe how underwhelming and the total lack of suspense and thrills contained.
What explosion? :))
Too many of the action pieces were forgettable, and watching the film, I fail to see where the budget really went – PTS aside.
Cant argue with that,at least the surfing scene was over in about 30 seconds,Brofeld definitely was not,its worse than the surfing scene imo.
245 million, actually.
Whats 30 million between friends ? ;)
:)
It's still the biggest budget ever for EoN...
I know...makes me cringe everytime I hear it mentioned Matt....what a waste.
Every year major movie explosions go unused. Explosive devices lie wasted on backlots around the world. Detonators sit dormant. Pyrotechnics are made redundant. Rampant CGI overusage has lead to a kerosene glut.
With just a little time and care these vast megabangs can be shared with those who truly need them - vapid movie producers, tired moviegoers who are busy texting, and at least two actors who can barely look at an inferno.
If you have 30 million dollars to spare then please send your donation to @mendesbigbangblunder and we'll ensure that flames aplenty will be the highlight of your movie favourite or fireworks celebration. Bless your hearts.
I'd put SP somewhere around 19th probably.
Hahaha very good..*round of applause*.
There's also a famous suspense cue entitled The Conspirators from JFK (composed by the great John Williams) that I've seen used in trailers for other films over the years. It was actually used by Williams again with minor modifications in Jurassic Park.
Executive Decision maybe ?
