During Tom getting tortured in MI3, his reputation was getting so annoying.
Amazing that he's been at or near the top for such a long time.
A major flop.
It was average, but I think it had tonal & marketing problems. Those expecting something in the vein of the 90s films may have been surprised by the darker (and dark humour) tone.
Some years ago, I heard McQuarrie was to adapt Ice Station Zebra from Alistair MacLean's novel and to direct it. I keep thinking that he will cast Tom Cruise in the role of the submarine's commanding officer.
I wasn't a fan of the original Ice Station Zebra (only saw it once). I have it on blu and may revisit soon. Perhaps I was just having a bad day.
A lot.
I tried to like the first film adaptation of the novel, but I'm afraid it was dull and only contained a few good scenes despite the brilliant leading actors. I saw it at a time when I was newly exposed to both Danger Man and The Prisoner, and couldn't help fan-walking the whole character connection from the three of McGoohan's portraits.
One word; execution.
The last few Bond films have failed imo to execute an exciting and thrilling total package. SP is by far the biggest offender of my complaint and over all disappointment. I could care less how much money Bond has made, it comes down to, do I like what I'm seeing and do I want to see it again. EoN know what they're doing? But do they really though? The series is too inconsistent and this is especially so for the Craig era. Mission Impossible aside from 2 have all been consistently great. The team behind those films definitely know what they're doing and this new trailer completely craps all over the last few Bind films. Just my personal opinion.
Couldn't agree more. Seems like the MI team is pushing for excitement in a completely different way than EON. Not that the Bond films aren't exciting, but the last two have only delivered in the cinematography department. Could a car chase be less exciting? The SP one looked like it was in slow motion, almost – compared to what we've seen in previous films.
Edit: In writing that I'm pointing on an issue also involving the cinematography, though.
I think I would welcome that, as long as
I've noticed that too. There's always been bits of Bond there (the gadgets, the stunts) but with the last couple and this one they seem to be going for the glamour/sophistication Bond has as well. There was the fancy black tie event at the end of the fourth one, the opera in the fifth one, and now this. All they need is to up the sex appeal and they are basically James Bond films at this point.
