Then that's settled it. I think we have similar tastes in Bondom. If it's good enough for you, it's good enough for me.
The whole Nomi as 007 thing is a concern for me, simply because how it is going to be dealt with within the story itself. It's not like an unknown nameless character has his code number for a few minutes of screen time, it's clear she is a big part of the story (still hoping she is a turncoat or something more exciting). So how does he get the code number back or does he? Does Nomi die? I can't see her handing it back to him, it would feel a little pointless to me to include her having it in the first place. If Bond retires again at the end of the mission does Nomi keep the 007 code number? I mean that would be weird to me, it would be like Indiana Jones finishing a film without his whip.
Although this is just a rumour at this point so it might just be concern for nothing
My biggest hope is that James Bond is the main character throughout the movie and if this is Daniel's last Bond that he goes out on a high note. I'm praying it doesn't fall foul like all the politically charged and agenda driven movies of the last few years. We've waited so long for a Bond movie, I don't want it weighed down by outside factors that aren't relevant
That’s fair enough. I also am not expecting it to top Craig’s first 3, but I’d gladly settle for better than SP / middle-ground Bond film, which is still a great place to be in IMO. Of course I want it to be even better than that, but I’m trying to be realistic while cautiously optimistic.
What I'm hoping for is a vibrant, colorful cinematography (looks like we'll be getting that) with some Bondian moments and overall mood. Combine that with a good soundtrack, I'll be happy enough.
Not expecting it to be better than CR, that's for sure.
if i did have one concern - its really about the bigger picture moving forward.. is NTTD the capper to a 5 film continuity that will be dashed in favor of soft rebooting with a new actor for Bond 26... or... like in years past before CR hit the hard reset, will the next films moving forward maintain the current continuity, with the nods back every now and then similarly to how TSWLM referenced Bond being previously married.... i guess the easier way to say all that, is that after NTTD, i DO NOT want a hard reset again - just keep pressing forward.
That's my main concern. And that quote from Babs, that the film is tremendous and that they've thrown the book at it, well, it sounds like when she said they'd thrown everything even the kitchen sink into DAD, back then it sounded marvellous and then it turned out the way it did. I'm keeping cautious about the OTT possibilities of that remark as well.
That being said, bring on the trailer!!! :-D
My only concern is the female 007 angle. I have no problem at all with someone else taking on the 007 mantle, man, woman or otherwise, because that is what would happen in real life after a retirement. No, my worry is how this will be viewed in the world of 2020. Assuming Bond gets back his 007 status, and I am, I am struggling to think of a satisfying way the writers can do this without an outcry of 'fridging' Nomi to achieve it or having her make way for a MAN to save the day. I think there is a real chance they've written themselves into a corner with this without a satisfying resolution in the name of been up to date with the times. Hope I'm completely wrong.
Haha that would be an ideal concern mate
Has there been anything from Cary about another Bond, or has he said outright 'just the one'?
Maybe I just hoped for a CR/QoS-like entry and this screams too much SPECTRE to me. There seems to be too many characters and I'm afraid the story won't be very Bond-centric.
The dialogues are awful as well. I only liked the Bond/Nomi exchange.
+1. This was exactly my feeling. I felt like watching a Mission: Impossible trailer than a Bond one.
I'm relieved that they're going to reconfigure her character into something more distinctive in her own right. She felt too derivative of Tracy in SP, so taking a whole new direction would hopefully make her more interesting in NTTD.
+1
The trailer is exceptionally well crafted, and cinematography seems to be on point.
Other than that, this doesn't hint at something I would particularly like to see in a Bond movie.
1. Doubling down on the personal - 'past coming back to haunt' seems to be a thing they can't get rid of
2. Rehash of the 'new vs. old' theme - 'the world has moved on, commander'
3. Creepy villain with a God-like ambitions - looks like they're trying to make this too epic
But as I've said, I'm not expecting a SP sequel to knock me off my feet in terms of the story, but I'm still hoping to see a lot of Bondian scenes and tiny moments, and a good soundtrack.
Definitely not too overwhelmed by this.
It feels like a direct answer to the last few Mission Impossible films from what I have noticed. It's like EON is modernizing Bond by making it similar to Tom Cruise and Co.
Yes. I got that vibe big time
Yea that's right. I love what I saw. If it's
Craigs last film he should go out on an epic scale.
But I also understand some concerns of other fans. The trailer so far seems like a direct sequel to MI Fallout.
Disagree, its a direct sequel to SP(which inspire a lot to Rogue Nation which inspire a lot to fallout). Most of bond fans knew Madeline and Blofeld return was obvious and Blofeld will be in prison after getting arrested. There is nothing in this film that looks even remotely similar to MI.
Is it? No way! So that's what I was wrong about all these years. Next you'll be telling me MI6 Community doesn't stand for Mission: Impossible 6.
