It’s getting really bad. CR helping me get through a tough time.
Interestingly enough I look forward watching it, there is enough in there that makes me want to return to the film. Other than that my hopes are not too high that I will be able to put it any higher in my ranking.
But let's see.
Sadly butchered to cinematic death by a so called film editor.
The real sad thing is, this could have been the most exciting car chase in Bond history, but this way it's an abomination that leaves me wondering which drugs EoN was on to even dare to release this mess.
Honestly, by the time the police car goes downhill I have lost interest and can't even focus on the screen anymore, luckily shortly after Craig arrives in Siena.
At least there are no color filters.....if that's any consolation....
The theme song is barely tolerable and makes me want to throw up.
What bugs me the most is that I now have realized that the actual track without vocals would be fantastic. But as soon as White and especially Keys force their vocal cords upon us it's simply over.
Thank Judi, that the film will get dramatically better soon.
Sadly the chase is edited and shot so badly it's almost insane. By the time Craig jumps on the bus I've lost interest again. Craig hanging on the rope is great but again destroyed by shaky camera work and bad editing.
What really is puzzling is that the next scene in London is shot and edited totally differently again. As if two directors had made QoS, one for the action, one for the rest.
M is the heart and soul of QoS too. Dench's acting is fantastic.
Craig never looked better than in QoS. Compared to this performance I feel that he has lost his bite by SF.
Brutal, fierce and quick. Craig makes short work of Slade.
Judi Dench again...."we have Judi everywhere" I almost here Mr. White say ha ha...
Seriously, I don't want to sound silly but I have become a huge fan of her. And EoN must have realized what potential she has using her so often in QoS and SF.
But now we are at M's office again and things begin to seriously get better now.
A bit more than 30 minutes behind us.
Tosca is for everyone, most definitely. The Austrian sequence is solid from start to finish and again Judi Dench at the end with some wonderful lines and scenes.
Mathis saves the day: Giancarlo Giannini, what a catch for EoN.
It's a shame he dies in QoS, but of course his death makes this character arch even more dramatic and great.
The Italy scenes are most delightful and the time with Bond on the airplane is where the real depth of QoS lies. Character development at its best, even indirectly, through what Mathis has to say.
Austria to the moment we get to the airfield.
This is not only Craigbond at its best but Bond at its best. Period.
The airplane sequence is the worst bit of Craigbond, by a large margin. Oh well.
I should laugh if it wasn't so sad.
But...light at the end of the tunnel. Camille and Bond having some quality time downstairs. Olga Kurylenko is proof that EoN knows how to cast.
Some films need to be seen several times. The glaringly bad stuff sadly blinds somewhat, but I can always close my eyes and enjoy the majority of the rest which is great.
