M: 007, you are a stop a mad industrialist with an elaborate plan for world domination.
BOND: And he's related to me.
M: He is not.
BOND: He is a shadowy figure from my past, then.
M: I don't think so.
BOND: A woman I loved is now in a relationship with him.
M: Actually, he is single at the moment.
BOND: She's somehow being blackmailed by him?
M: No.
BOND: You want me to take on an assignment with no personal connection? You must think this spy business is a paid job for me.
M: It's not?!
BOND: No! It's an exploration of my tortured psyche! Give the mission to 003. He has no friends, relatives or loved ones. He follows orders, not opportunities for drama.
CR : total rookie
QOS : still total rookie
SF : old dog new tricks/played out/its a young mans game
SP : No mention of age or what stage his carrier is at.
So inconsistent,almost embarrassing
It's almost as though Mendes was working through his own demons and mortality, not Bond's.
At least he could have given us Kate Winslet as a villain! ;).
(Anyone who's seen--ahem--Boyle's Steve Jobs knows that Winslet could do a Buntian accent in her sleep.)
We need a character like this to appear in Bond 25. The closest we've got to female villains in the Craig era is Vesper Lynd and Valenka, Le Chiffre's girlfriend? And I'll be hugely disappointed if we do not get a full on female villain/henchwoman in the entire Craig era.
Agreed. That would be a nice nod to where everything started, not to mention a big middle finger to the codename theory!
:)) Brilliant!
It would require a suspension of disbelief that would be beyond me. I wasn't a fan when they did something similar in the SW series either, but at least there the stories are known to be direct continuity timeline (even if some are physically made afterwards but are meant to represent prior times in movie years).
I am against anything further that attempts to direct continuity reference in the Bond era. There are way too many inconsistencies for it to be palatable for me.
Indeed. And on top of all that, it's an excessively self-referential thing to do. It has a tinge of cheesy fan fiction to it. It's one thing to reintroduce recurring characters like M, Moneypenny and Q --even Blofeld--, but another to go back to one-off characters. Next time we'll be referencing Goldfinger. Those are past missions; let them stay in the past and give us new adventures with new characters.
Think On Your Sins whas very weird to see with first view. Also reference to SP, where showing us a mouse and cats and talking about a mouse and cats.
This raised a titter!
If something is missing in the Criags era, it's a sense of adventure and breeziness. Some hated the moments of levity in SP, but I wish they had done what Aquaman did, and go the whole hog with it, instead of holding back and hedging their bets with the brothergate/survelliance plot. Bond needs to be fun again.
Mmmh, okay.
- Some crazy underwater action.
- Sharks.
- Japan, please.
- A female villain.
- Some mountain/skyscraper climbing.
- Bond losing his memory.
Lucia should have as pet with her own Spectre ring. She send later to Bond with her own blood.
As reference to TMWTGG, Flemings last novel also and Fleming give birth to Bond based on a book about birds. Lucia should keep in middle of depression (but also be a bit Irma Bunt /Helga Brandt like) and should be kild by the animal who release her self.
Of course she and animal are hide far a way from the living world and Bond should get feeling he has les space then them. Mabey discovery of her princes style location (more bunker, but feels for her more like a castle) should be introduced by fly scene and special Lucia music track.
Property Of A Lady you can do a lot with it.
This.
I'll just drop this here ;)
Perfection.
^This
^That is spot on! We haven't had a proper one in 16 years and counting...that's if you count DAD as a proper one
I don't count DAD as a proper anything ;)
Hahaha fair enough. I feel Brosnan put in a good effort with what he was given. Shame about the rest of the film.
That's all that is allowed, Matt. One chuckle per Emo-Bond.
