The editing is some of the worst I've ever seen, the villain is mediocre and Mathis should've not been killed like that.
Yeah, he should have been recycled.
SPECTRE cost $50 million more than NTTD.
I’ve heard the opposite, but I’ll rephrase my post: one of the most expensive Bond films ever made.
Haha maybe that's what will happen with Safin. Environmental stuff always scores these days. :)) =))
I struggle to disagree, although I’ve always had a consistent, ‘Yeah, fine’ attitude towards it. What I’ll give QoS is that it’s one of those peculiar anomalies that really enrich the series. In that regard it’s really welcome, but when it comes to the nitty gritty, on its own, I find it hugely overrated by the fan community.
:))
People always point the similarities with Bourne, but for me it comes off like a generic Gerard Butler euro actioner. It lacks the more classy feel of the other Craig films. Maybe that uniqueness appeals to some, more power to them.
It's interesting, and probably unsurprising, to note that the two most unsuccessful films of the Craig-era are the ones that were churned out quicker, so could we possibly see the "delay" of No Time to Die as a blessing in disguise?
Yeah, all true
I agree QOS is poor - largely incomprehensible both in its editing and writing. I think some people like it purely because it directly follows a vastly superior film.
Regarding NTTD budget. How much of the reported $250 is Craig’s salary
Still, there's a lot there I do enjoy, the Opera House sequence is stunning, David Arnold gives us his best work on the series, and I like that they made it a proper followup to the themes and plot of CR.
:Edit: The NTTD delays makes me hopeful that we'll get a much more polished film than QOS or SP, given they've had much more time to work on it.
DAD has way more issues than just the title, as if that has any barring on the quality of the film... getting rid of a Jinx is a good start, but you’ve only touched upon the tip of the iceberg there.
+1
Nope, I like it because it's enjoy its plot, its soundtrack, the actors' performances and the dialogues. Weird, I know.
For all QOS faults it nowhere as woefully redundant and tension lacking than SPECTRE, how anyone can excuse this film is beyond me, I loved the DC era till that came along.
No QOS is not perfect by a long stretch but it plays to DC's strengths, SP almost tries to reinvent his Bond and then try to also have the emotional Bond, it's a jarring mess of a film.
In short it's bloody awful.
That film probably needed a more action oriented director.
Look how quickly the other guys can make great Mission Impossible movies though. It shouldn't be impossible (ho ho).
To me the Mission Impossible is an action-packed blockbuster, whereas the James Bond franchise is a different kettle of fish, and while the James Bond franchise also includes action, it has more to think about than just what action set pieces do we want to see Tom Cruise in this time? And I'm sure the MI franchise would also have major delays if it suffered the same problems...
Different productions, different rules.
“Ugh, it’s personal stakes yet again. Why is Hunt always a rogue agent in these films? Another mole in their organization, what is wrong with the IMF?!”
