We spent a few pages discussing it when it leaked. Someone online described it as like watching the dailies from shooting; often just music accompanying images to get an "idea" of where the movie is at, or to see what's been shot. I think they are still early in post-production for 7, or still drawing the line at where 7 and 8 differ (with regard to cutting a trailer from footage for one big story).
Were the Bond films ever that way ? I guess you could say that they were visually impressive in their time. The big moment which comes to mind was the parachute jump at the end of the PTS for TSWLM, and, of course, that was not for a sustained action set-piece during the course of the film.
I'm not complaining - it just was not and has not been the style of the Bond films. I'd say they were and have been more about style and cool than jaw-dropping action sequences. Of course there have been some, but I think the emphasis was different, and, as I say, more about style and cool.
Yeah, style and cool as well, but it had several Wow! moments too. Like very creative Wow! moments. But I know what you mean. I don't think Bond necessarily have to compete with Hunt, but we just need those incredible Bondian Wow! moments back, accompanied by the Bond theme.
Agreed. Younger audiences, and audiences in general, have had their expectations raised, it seems. I feel it myself. The MI films recently have been just darn exciting. I've enjoyed all the Bond films, too, and story and character arcs recently have been terrific. But I think it is time for the Bond pendulum to swing back to thrillers with nearly a one-and-done approach. Some arcs, but not as deep a psych study of Bond. It's just been done, and doing it again in the next several films would seem repetitive, and inappropriately disregard the effort, care and art of the Craig Bond films. So, not all the way to silly as in some of R Moore's films' moments, but cool, stylish, fun and exciting.
Exactly!
Tom was always going to make this list... more than once.
I hear Ford is going to do all his own walking in Indy 5.
I am sure I saw him on a horse in one set photo.
Or rather Buster Keaton.
Absolutely. I can't wait for Mangold's biopic on him. I've been wanting that for a very long time.
Original trailer already let you think Mi7 is
Unless Top Gun will make it first. It’s possible.
Is it weird though that my favorite shot is of Hunt revealing the key? I just love that style. Incidentally, it reminds me of Hunt doing magic tricks with the NOC list in the first movie.
I also got vibes of the first film, the bit of visual magic and trickery with the disc. It's a nice touch and I hope that and the return of Kittridge aren't the only comparisons to be made.
I have a feeling I know at least SOME of the dialogue for that scene:
Hunt You see, the key to an illusion...sometimes...is...the key.
Putting our hero in very high places for action sequences. The only difference being Cruise is crazy enough to do these stunts himself. And I have so much admiration for him, to do this to keep the audience entertained.
Wow. How does he keep raising the bar?
Plus he built it.
I believe he can fly. The plane is on Cruise control.
"Cruise control" !!!! Brilliant !
