What do you think? I mean, if we look back on SF, there has been a lot of criticism about the screenplay. For what we now, the criticism about the SF-screenplay back in 2011 was maybe even more cruel and more critical ;-). You think SP can still top SF? I think SP is on its way to do so :-).
I am already very happy that there is slightly more "balance of action" in SP. IFFF there is criticism I have about SF (and it's NOT the screenplay), then it is that the more Bond-esque action was mostly spilled during the PTS. After that the action was very good, just not "Bond-ish good". I am a movie lover in the broadest sense. And I loved the Underground-action right till M's Tennyson speech. BUT, many others didn't.
Now with SF we already know that the PTS is perhaps less action heavy.....and that the biggest, also most "Bond-ish" action (one hell-of-a Ronin-esque car chase in Rome and one-hell-of-an aerial/car chase in Austria), is showing up only at the end of the 1st (1/3rd) part of the film and doesn't stop until the start of the last 3rd (3/3rd) part of the film.
Nahh.....SPECTRE is going to lunatic our minds ;-). In a positive way.
Yes, you're right. Even though I wasn't on this forum back then. I agree with you SF was very criticised with the screenplay. And it ended up being a very good Bond film. Could this be the case with SP? I think SP has a way better script than SF, looking at it now.
I didn't really like that all the action was packed in the PTS in SF and the other scenes in SF as @Gustav_Graves stated, were not 'Bond-ish'. We could comment until tomorrow who liked which scene in SF, it was very mixed criticism.
The thing I love in SP that @GG likes to is the fact that the 2 best action scenes in SP, excluding the climax in
I disagree with everybody that says that SP won't be a great Bond film. I think we are awaiting a Bond film that will be seen on everybody's top 5 Bond list.
Can you please put
In any case, I agree with you ;-).
Are you regarding to @Gustav_Graves?
Quite. I also saw something I didn't want to that wasn't properly spoiler tagged. I guess it's inevitable, but no less frustrating when people are being goaded.
Because for the very simple reason. Despite one, one accidental case, I still try to avoid the SonyLeaks cost what cost. So far I have been looking in the Clapperboard topic, but that is spoilered as well. Still, those were published by people from EON or other legal media outlets.
Moreover, being spoiled in a slow way, with reports from the set, with clapperboard pictures, with photo-calls, with videos ....gives me, and I think many others, way way more pleasure and fun as a Bond fan....then simply reading a whole damn screenplay with all its dialogue within the hour. So that's not my thing.
Perhaps it is better then, to compromise then, and to post these things in the Clapperboard topic then :-)? Also, at this stage.....as you say......it already becomes blurry to define what a spoiler is and what not. That happened three years ago (with SF) as well.
Don't worry. Really...
:))
I understand you want to discover the info at your own rythm, but now you're imposing your rythm to everyone else who hoped to stay spoiler-free. You could post your questions in the leaks thread, then watch only for the answers that have your question in the quote line. The leaks thread is not full of posts writing all the spoilers in capitals every five minutes...
And, well, if you like discussing Bond movies, in the leaks thread one can discuss SPECTRE V1.0, SPECTRE V2.0, SPECTRE V3.0, SPECTRE V3.1, SPECTRE V3.1b.. :)
And don't forget we're also getting B25 very much figured out too. ;) SP is old news.
Can you please stop it.....I'm completely locked here. Staring like 30 mins about what I should post here. How I should react. And I have it more often with you. I was so happy....so enjoyed about SP today, to discuss it with @aaron819. I wasn't even rude to him. And then you come....and I'm locked.....deadlocked. I'm.....getting crazy in my head. Please stop it. Please, I beg you, please say something like this:
"I also hope it'll be a better Bond film than SF" or "So far I'm loving this news about the action sequences in Rome and Austria".
Or......simply say something nice or don't react to me. You know me a bit better now :-S. If I drain the life out of you dear @Suivez_ce_parachute, then please write me a PM, I try, try, alwaysss try to accomodate. But sometimes you are really asking so much from me. It is panicking me at times. You are sticking on me like someone who truly dislikes me.....in every possible way. Please don't. I'm a nice guy.
I agree with @Gustav_Graves, @Suivez_ce_parachute should tone it down just a bit.
@roko:
Many of us truly enjoy Craig as Bond and will be saddened when he's done. He is signed on to do one more Bond after Spectre, so chances are he'll do it. Some fans on these boards suggest that the contract makes it a 100% certainty. But I'm not as convinced. There are a bunch of things to consider:
1. The time frame between SP and Bond 25. The longer the wait, the more likely Craig will opt out.
2. Craig is not getting any younger, and I think SF took a lot out of him. Many people have mentioned Tom Cruise doing action films into his 50s, but the difference is that Cruise has always been in shape, doing action stuff. Craig has gained and lost weight for various roles. For instance, he plumped up somehwat for TGWTDT. And Craig was a heavy smoker until recent years. The knee injury he suffered last week is a warning sign.
3. Craig wants to do Bond his way: which is to be physical in the role. Craig could do Bond into his 50s, but he likely would need more stunt doubles, and he doesn't seem to want that.
4. The relationship between EON and Craig is one of tremendous mutual respect. I don't think EON would have a problem with Craig opting out of Bond 25 if he doesn't think he can do it--it'll be roughly 9 years between Craig's first and fourth film. Contrast that to Brosnan: 7 years; Moore 6 years; Connery 3 years.
5. If SP is part of a two-movie story arc, then I'd say that that increases the chances that Craig will be back; it also increases the chances that Bond 25 will be out in 2017.
In no way am I hoping or predicting Craig will bolt after SP. I am on record as hoping he decides to sign on for many more. All I'm saying is that it wouldn't be a shock if SP is his last Bond.
If I'm around when B26 comes along, hold me to it.
Take a breath.
Yep, this is 100% true. He's already been cast.
As I first said, the Photocall is confirmed for Wednesday, February 18th.
Sorry for the delay mate, I'm on Carnival holiday here. But yes, the Photocall is confirmed for tomorrow. I just don't know about the exact time. As soon as I have some photos from the Eletronic Press Kit, I'll post them here, don't worry. Anything different than that, a possible change in the date or a cancelation, I'll let you know too.
Thanks mate. :)
I have the December versuon, and I don't suspect that the real final version is or is at least much worse
Great casting, he is one creepy looking dude
