With all do respect, but the above list was created before real news about Bond 24 got to the surface...
Sorry. You're right.
I forgot the part that we were refering to Skyfall, and just made the list considering what i would like to see on SP. My bad!
But the other points stand. Instead ot this "naval suit" issue, i would say ... the gunbarrel in the beguinning.
1. Better music score. Half of Skyfall's was nice, but the rest was not very memorable.
2. Better one liners.
3. No hamfisted product placement. (Tanner drinking on the Job was eyerolling.)
4. Better use of locations.
5. No more MI-6 trust issue's with Bond and vise versa.
I forgot this one. You're totally right. This scene was totally out of place. And annoying!
Let me re-phrase my question . . . "what is a REAL Bond girl?"
http://whatculture.com/film/9-things-spectre-needs-to-satisfy-diehard-bond-fans.php
Great article @Gustav_Graves.
What I've always wanted to see (and it's been eons.....no pun intended......since we've seen it) is the villains plotting without Bond being in the picture frame. It's been a long time since that has happened. I'm thinking along the lines of the classic Kronsteen/Klebb/Blofeld/Piranha scene in FRWL, when the dastardly plot is hatched and revealed. Or in TB, when the defector is electrocuted in his seat with Largo barely batting an eyelid. I'd love to see that again. SPECTRE provides the perfect vehicle for this to occur.
PS: That photo of Blofeld's lair in YOLT from your link takes me back. Boy do I miss the great Ken Adam.
Quantum story line wrapped up please
less CGI
better acting
Different score
Other than that, most has already been mentioned.
Fun.
Gunbarrel at start.
This time it's not personal.
Skiing.
Pretty much agreed with this (although I have no problem with anyone's acting ability in Skyfall).
I even have the feeling they are going to use the very old Maurice Binder template for the gunbarrel sequence. That'll be cool no?
I agree with some of what he said, but he's presumptuous saying that's what all Bond fans want. And a Bond movie is not a grocery list.
You could be right. I think Craig has to practice his GB sequence though. I can't say I'm that impressed with his 'turn and shoot'. Brosnan did it much better. IMO, Craig's best 'turn, point and shoot' was in the CR pretitles in the washroom. He has to practice this
As long as it's better than the sudden, jarring entrance Bond has in SF. That startled me so much (theater was especially loud) that I spilled my drink.
If he practices half as much as I do he should do fine ;)
Yes and no. We don't know what and if something has been changed between SF and SP. I mean yes we know if we know about the leaks, but otherwise, we don't know and this is not a thread that is about the leaks.
Just have a look at my post on page 24, and be amazed how many aspects of that list are.....actually becoming reality =P~. And that list of aspects has been shaping up nicely way before the actual screenplay for "SPECTRE" was finished; in 2013. The thread is irrelevant? Perhaps now it slightly is. But it can still be a source of inspiration for us forummembers....and indeed for EON Productions :-P.
Also, don't underestimate the power of Google. Search for "SPECTRE CRITICISM" OR "SKYFALL SPECTRE CRITICISM" and be surprised how the topic is featured on the first page on Google Search ;-).
So that's your wish for SPECTRE :-P? Wait till you get to see my titties 8-}
I think that could be very likely. Just making the actual dots and the gunbarrel-circle smaller, like with the first three gunbarrel sequences (DN, FRWL, GF), would create even slightly more mystery to the character.
It's also the biggest no# 1 wish of most Bond fans in this topic....that the original Maurice Binder-barrel returns.....perhaps with a very good rendition of Monty Norman's Bond theme, reworked by Thomas Newman.
What about a combination of this gunbarrel (lovely music, great gunbarrel pose by Daniel):
But combined with the original gunbarrel template from Maurice Binder:
1.some use of gadgets that isn't overly cheesy
2.felix leiter back and getting a few kills
3.complete tie up of Mr white and Quantum situation
4.Batista being the best henchman in decades and truly testing 007
5.classic main villain compound/lair that must be raided and destroyed
That looks like a damn fine wish list to me. I would be okay with Quantum/White being left open-ended if it's pertinent to where they want to take SPECTRE down the line, otherwise I'm all for restoring some of those classic Bond elements.
A great list @ Gustav_Graves and by the looks of things, with the exception of No.3, your wishes have been granted!
For motor racing you will have to read Horowitz's new Bond novel due out in September. Part of this centres around motor sport as it includes Ian Fleming's unpublished story involving Sir Stirling Moss at the Nuremberg Ring. Certainly, modern Formula 1 should make an apperance at some juncture if for no other reason than Bernie Ecclestone would make a superb Bond villain!
Now that SF has movie Bond back on track, Villiers53 has three big wishes for eon:
1) A coherent, believable plot.
Great as SF is, it doesn't really stand up to scrutiny because the
plot has more holes in it than a Swiss cheese. In truth, the only Bond movie that truly passes muster in this regard is the fabulous FRWL. Adapting the Amis book 'Colonel Sun' could be a good start.
2) A new style of filming action and fight sequences.
It's clear from this thread that I'm not the only fan bored to death with the fast cut, 'Bourne' technique used in fight sequences and the over use of CGI. What we need is a return to the bone crunching punch up exemplified by Connery when he went head to head with the late, great Robert Shaw on the Orient Express. A good modern day approach to breathtaking action sequences was also used by Steven Soderberg in his underrated movie 'Haywire'.
3)A Saville Row tailor for 007.
Bond is British for God's sake and it's high time somebody got him a good tailor.
Frankly, Craig's casual wardrobe in SF looked good but his suits were ridiculous. Having him run around in those 'Pee- Wee Herman' outfits made him look like he was in permanent danger of splitting his pants. Get rid of that dreadful Tom Ford stuff and send him to Anderson & Sheppard for the real deal.
Think Connery in DN & FRWL and you've nailed it.
Also, whilst it's on my mind, ditch that crass Omega and get the boy a decent Rolex. It was the only watch 007 ever wore!
