But I digress. I too think that Onatopp is a vixen from Hell. She's a nutter and a ruthless killer. Even in the face of death ("He's going to derail us.") her oestrogen levels seem to rise sky high. She's a thrill seeker if anything. And those screams!
I still think of GE as one of the best written and directed Bonds. They could have so easily messed up this character, rendering her neither convincing nor enjoyable to watch. But how lucky we are that they weren't in DAD mode just yet. ;-)
Of course. As far as vicious henchwomen go, she's onatopp. Killing gives her sexual gratification.
Agree, you can see clearly that she seriously enjoys and gets off in what she does for a living! :))
<font color=blue size=7><b>There's no good story related reason why Scaramanga's golden gun couldn't have been a normal golden gun instead of an assembly of golden accessories.</b></font>
Disagree with thesis. Can't think of a better way of carrying a concealed weapon that assembles and disassembles with such ease, especially in places where you might be searched. It seems perfect for a international assassin who wishes to remain anonymous, right down to the odd caliber. It fits Scaramanga and thus the storyline.
I would disagree actually. A gun that disassembles is a sure fire way to smuggle it through customs more than anything else. Especially when those things are everyday items to a lot of people.
<font color=blue size=7><b>With an incomplete script, QOS still offers better acting performances than DAD, with a complete script.</b></font>
100% Agree.
Agree. Certain elements in terms of CGI......etc did more harm than good, where as QOS had a more grittier feeling to it although certain editing styles of it I did not like.
Glad you figured out the wording Dimi :P. I knew you would!
Agree with thesis 1000%. This is why with all it's faults and a year less to prepare, QOS is still a better movie. Forster is a genius compared to Tamahori! People who would disagree with this make me want to stick a fork in my eyeball. Or better yet, theirs :-?
Care to explain why?
QoS didn't have a character called Mr Kil either [-(
Ouch!
Anyway, yes I think QoS had better acting, but that's not what made the huge difference. Basically it was DAD's appalling script en idiotic director ( I keep on saying: how could this happen with the guy ho made Once Were Worriors?) compared to a way better if not notalthough not finished script and very talented director. Many say DAD was Brosnan's best when it comes to his acting. I don't really agree, but it says a lot about the films.
QoS not only has better acting performances than DAD but it also presents some of the greatest acting seen yet in the whole franchise, the pinnacle being Dan's masterful onscreen manifestation of Bond's grieving process. It contains absolutely beautiful showcases of talent from Dan, Judi, Giancarlo, Olga, Mathieu, Wright and the rest of the lot in sparkling form.
Agree and Twine whas Brosnan best acting performance.
QOS remember to old days of Connery and Roger Moore be one of my first comment about QOS.
One note: DAD script whas kind of incomplete too because there must changed it in 2001, 2-3 months before start filming in January 2002. Halle Barry no longer whant to be the villian also. There be remours that in the original script Bond end with Miranda Frost, Moneypenny or Madonna because Jinx be henchwoman of Falco who then turn in to a villian who then possible return in another movie of Bond or Jinx her own movie. Bond end with Moneypenny or Frost, the Jinx movie plans and Jinx be the villian be offcial confirmd. I remember there be some pictures of Rosamund Pike with Brosnan in hot tube.
Another note: Actors are fine, Skyfall can also have turn in to another DAD with P&W reference in Skyfall to DAD, the weak story of that card, strange things like the villians music taste (Whyle i must say that there think better about that why, then a villian who thinks he be hero you if you don't sleap.) and if David Arnold have done the music...
14/23 QOS
17/23 Skyfall
18/23 DAD
22/23 Casino Royale
I'm glad you and I agree once again. I'd hate to have my eyeball stabbed!
<font color=blue size=7><b>The most recent GE video game should not have used Craig's image but Brosnan's instead.</b></font>
Agreed. Rareware and Nintendo should have come together and make a deal to re release GoldenEye 64 with HD graphics. But Activision made there own GoldenEye and it turned out being a "just okay" shooter.
