Amen to that Sir.
I just don't get the logic. The 50th logo is the original design, Adele features the original design and the teaser poster features the original design. So why go and give us another god awful shambles of a design for the actual GB for the film? Go figure. Presumably the same marketing genius at EON who signed off on 007 Legends and the 50th bluray box set is responsible for this 'strategy'?
And as for it belonging at the beginning - well this is not even arguable IMO.
Depends....if you make a difference between the older, more established Bond fans and the young teenager fans who have just been introduced to this 'Bond thingie'. ;-).
I've said the exact same thing, and I believe I was shot down somehow because everyone seemed to disagree with me, even though I feel that it's fact that a lot of these weren't topics of discussion in the slightest in terms of fixing SF criticism.
Actually, maybe the plot of Bond 24 will revolve around MI6 finally trying to get the damn hard drive they completely forgot about in SF
They didn't forget about it. They retrieved it and Q was going to look into it when Silva escaped. MI6 has it.
Also, Silva was only using it to get MI6's attention, his real goal was humiliating, destroying, and killing M.
Are you sure? I always thought what Q was looking into was Silva's own computer and not the hard drive.... and yes, but I don't think that's a reason to just leave it be!
Why complicate the plot with the MacGuffin after the story has already shifted? It would be like Bond attending Strangways' funeral after escaping Dr. No's lair.
Because every NATO agent could be compromised!!
Are they at this point? Silva is captured, he isn't going to reveal the names. What matters is who may have had the names, if he decided to share it, which is what they were doing. But when he escapes, then the plot shifts and the immediate concern is Silva himself, not the list.
One of the best, or worst point here is Bond in a naval uniform. I mean really? After SF, that's what someone thought? "It was ok, I guess, but it would have been so much better if Bond had been in a naval uniform."
Quite. Though I'm sure the more talented critics will still manage to find something to be negative about. ;)
In the end it's about the net, total package that makes or breaks a Bond film. All elements combined together. But until then we are gathering and discussing certain elements of a Bond film that should be improved to tackle criticism.
Now, we all say "Aaah, the gunbarrel at the end actually worked quite well". But I heard different voices during the screenings of 'Skyfall'.
2. Gunbarrel at the beginning
3. More escapist locations
4. Ditch the corny one-liners (They don't work with Daniel very well)
5. Bring back Martin Campbell (I know Sam's coming back ;-)
Yeah, they're called opinions, and believe it or not, you're going to have two separate groups for or against everything, be it gun barrels, abortions, candidates competing in a political election or more. Hardly a conclusive point there, and merely a simple assurance that Captain Obvious is still commandeering this ship.
my favorite car of all time by the way but it just does not make any sense... brosnan had it in GE and a breif appearance in TND.. then DC wins one in CR and then we have the original back in SF ????
i would also like to see his flat/apartment and house keeper like the detailed description in Carte Blanche
I see no problem with the DB5 in CR and SF, as it is a rebooted continuity. And I do like allusion to previous Bond movies, as it does bring a bit of... continuity.
As for Bond's flat... Is it a criticism of Skyfall, really? I mean is it something that would have improved the movie, to see the flat and May?
Can't be bothered to go into the DB5 appearing in SF again - there are plenty of threads on that already.
Not that it particularly bothers me but I do think there was a missed opportunity to introduce May in SF. She could have either been Kincaide and the film plays out the same or she is Mrs Kincaide and he dies during the fight.
In any event in B24 she could be a stock character, not in every film perhaps but there in the background.
Wow, and you give Purvis and Wade a rough time... ;)
Hahahaha!
