Come out and say it,dont hold back .

Have you heard Pierce's quote about DAD being "the most reality based film they've done so far?
It sounds as if the film was pitched as a fairly serious flick.
No. No it really isn't.
That is all.
Hahahahah! Yeah, he was very optimistic here.
Seriously though, you could have given ME everything to work with, same script, sets, actors, and I would have turned out a VERY different looking movie. Even little things like making the invisible car imperfect, like a shadowy blur, demanding some reworking of the CGI stunts, showing Graves looking as his face in a mirror as if he's looking at a stranger... asking Berry to tone down the 'Yo Momma" 'tude...
Still delirious from the scorpion venom, no doubt.
Yes, 'reworking' as in put the bloody sound stage to use for making indoor waves. You know, the one they built to simulate an entire ocean with decades back.
That's a good one. I can imagine him sneering at his reflection, while modelling himself on Bond's unjustifiable swagger.
Hey, that was uncalled for. Yo' mama would be really disappointed in you.
WTF WOULD ANYONE NEED AN INVISIBLE CAR?
That had to be the most useless and most riduculous gadget ever. Not even Maxwell Smart or Matt Helm could come up with this.
An invisible car, aside from being scientifically impossible, such a contraption would be a danger to it's driver and other drivers on the road. YOU CAN'T SEE IT. How you gonna avoid running into it and causing a pileup?
And take the thing to Iceland? That vehicle leaves neat tracks in the snow, and it can only be driven in perfect weather. Fog, rain, snow, any weather condition would render the invisibility useless. Even dirt would show up on that friggin thing.
I will be nice and stop my rant.
Appreciation?
The sword fight
Halle Berry looks good in a bikini
Comes in pretty handy if you want to get away with using that perennially vacant, disabled parking bay.
I think when Bond tells Q that he's been down in the tubes too long, Q should've just chuckled, agreed, and taken him to his real, non-invisible car.
Also, if Cleese Q was truly clever, he would've given poor old 007 a pair of special noise-cancelling earphones tuned to Jinx and Kil's voice signature.
Damn yes! Just an empty cart with nothing on it...
Btw, Pierce said he and Tamahori knew the same people... Is dear, old Pierce a closet transvestite?
I didn't see any piece of it since 2007, so I barely remembered a lot of stuff, but... Yes, Something I didn't expect to say. I got to admit it. It is not that bad.
The very great aspects of the film are: The beggining - except for the 14 months part
The Cuba bit,
the invisible car EXPLANATION ("Tiny cameras on every side of the car projects the image They see in the opposite side with the help of the light of the day... For the casual eye it's as good as invisible" - Resumed explanation by Q),
The whole sword fighting scene,
My re-envision of Miranda's being an MI-6 rogue agent which is a clear remindscence for Alec Trevelyan,
The surfing ski scene (Yes... I'll admit i found it well thought, not THAT GREAT, but a normal scene - like GE's bungee jump),
The ice chase which is my favourite moment, yes,
The Icarus' attack in the US base,
Bond and Graves' fight.
I didn't quote Jinx, because... Well, yes. She was totally expendable.
I am one of the guys who did make sure of disliking DAD for many reasons, but watching it again made me change my point of views. We could easily see this as a kinda futuristic Bond film, since there are so many factors pushing DAD to it. wouldn't think that it would happen, but I remade my opinions and now I think that DAD is not a very bad film. It didn't have the same spy feeling that Goldeneye had, but even though now I think that it is... Not that bad.
"You see, Mr. Bond? You can't kill my dreams. But my dreams can kill you."
Fortunately, I can quote him here...
Some stuff is good (the Korean exchange), but yes, the likes of Jinx and Mr Kil feel like they are from a child's imagination.

Slide whistle, anyone? Pidgeon? Blofeld in drag?
When movies started coming back down to Earth, people complained that DAD was silly and too much. It was made in the time where ott antics were the norm. I doubt the producers intended on DAD being a Goldfinger, but rather a movie 40th anniversary popcorn flick, which it certainly is.
