Yeah, you can't help but wonder that. QOS had it's fair share of jokes.
What I loved about QOS, is that the humour was more natural. Pretty much the only thing I like about the film. Another example is the dialogue exchanged between Mathis and his girlfriend at the villa.
To have more humour in SF than we have in CR would be wrong for the darker, grittier, more Flemingsque style of the Craig era. Some natural laughs during normal conversation is fine.
Exactly!
No one (or at least, not many) are asking for the return of bad one-liners, sight-gags and winking animals. While admiring and enjoying DC's excellent take on Bond, what many miss is the sense of Bond really enjoying himself. This is one of the things that the early films do so well - the feeling that you are on board for a roller-coaster ride with Bond, and that it's going to be a lot of fun along the way. You anticipate the enjoyment before you go in and have a sense of expectation at what Bond is going to serve up this time. It's a feel and a recipe that can be played with, but has an essence that is Bond.
If you mean Bond smiling and smirking duing an action scene when his life is in danger then I'm not into it. If you're referring to him being more relaxed and happier during a non action moment such as a gambling scene and when he's conversing with a Bond girl for example, then this is fine. Wasn't this pretty much how it was in Casino Royale though?
Or you could be tempted to shut up for once... =))
I suppose the whining goes more for QOS, where he is indeed not supposed to be cheery, as he mourns his love and seeks answers to his questions. Coming off the brosnan films, its a different way of displaying the lighter moments and in QOS there were less plus a rougher way of fighting and a rougher man all together.
After DAD almost everybody wanted more seriousness and now, after more of that, people like to have a balance between the seriousness and the nonchalance of the older films (Connery, not Brosnan). I am not talking about those, who will complain no matter what, but those with real arguments and no ill meaning might mean this and I tend to agree.
After all we have heard, the prods got it and made a lighter film without sacrifying the much needed modern taking of Bond.
Pardon my German, but I believe the correct expression is gleichfalls.
:-@
You got THAT one right...respect.
What do you expect, when you post ***? Hurrays?
In English I'd called it a definite case of the pot calling the kettle black, but that's a tricky one to translate!
Tame yourselves, and be civil. I am seriously getting sick of all this lately.
answer to them. Like this, it will never stop. Ignore them and it will get even worse. Peace sometimes doesn't come by being civil dealing with those, who are not. So - if more would speak out instead of just turning their heads, we wouldn't have that trouble. Mark my words - but hey - I can shut up. No problem...
So you are as much the problem as he was in that situation, and you both have butted heads over things like this before.
Darth Dimis post in the other thread, in which he might have included me, hopefully brings some reason...
Anyway, as this is about the trailer, I do wonder. MI6's not supposed to act within the UK. Are they going to use that? Or is it ' Bond's loose' again? I really wouldn't like that. Interesting as well are those coffins. Well, I'm all in for the new movie!
Why are so many people against the darker, moodier Bond films like TLD, LTK and QOS? One thing I do actually like about QOS is the level and style of the humour. We've had so much humour during the Bond films over the years. For Craig's tenure as Bond, I would like his films to remain darker and more Flemingsque. After Craig's left the role, go back to full on comedy by all means.
At the James Bond wrap party tonight! Just saw a 5 min teaser....looks great!!

4mins preview of skyfall #007 AMAZING! Can't wait for the release
Would that be something, that will never be shown to the public - just to show the folks at the party, what to expect? Since most of those people worked on the film.
