I'll admit to being one of those who initially wasn't too keen on the idea. I'm still not, to be honest.
I would have preferred they let sleeping dogs lie, primarily because I think that subject has already been nicely covered in the past and going there again may sort of 'date' the old films in a way (I know they are already dated....I mean the new film may serve as a sort of soft 'remake' which may reduce the importance of the older ones in the minds of casual fans, if not die-hards). I don't think that has happened with 'Bond' because there have been many Bond actors over the years without rebooting until DC, so there is a well established film legacy regardless of what they do.
With Blofeld, it was really a Connery/Lazenby thing from the 60's, so reintroducing the organization and leader now does sort of put a clear 'date stamp' on that era (and quite possibly OHMSS). I feel that way with Batman (89') vs. TDK, primarily because we saw the Joker reimagined in the latter, and that sort of took away from Nicholson's portrayal. So for me, reimagining the villains may reduce the importance of previous iterations (the comparisons are more pointed than they are when changing the main actor for the hero because we have no other choice with him.....if we want the film legacy to continue).
Case in point: SPECTRE is no longer an acronym for obvious reasons. So watching DN now sort of has a different feeling.
Having said that, I'm open to see what they do this time. It was just my preference.....really I'm open to it.
For me I never saw that point we saw Blofeld spectre etc and each film was great for the most part I was much more interested in Quantum I wonder if the got the rights for Spectre in 1994 if 006 would of been Workinfbg for Spectre instead of Janus
alright , thanks
The Yakuzas like any other crime syndicate is a clandestine organization. Same goes with criminal biker groups even though they have a big public profile. SPECTRE is considerably more secretive of course but a ring can be useful. And beside there is such a thing called dramatic license.
Sam Mendes said in one of the magazine interviews that the title isn't an acronym. It has a double meaning; the name of the organization and the shadowy figure from Bond's past (Oberhauser), being the spectre. I assume that the criminal organization still stands for Special Executive...

Obviously they are [-(
Everyone is just getting anxious. Not everyone is thinking straight.
True, no one is without fault.
I'm sorry everyone. It's something I didn't mean to do on purpose. But it happens when people post such topics, on IMDB:

No spoiler warnings, and the black text automatically opens once the mouse arrow moves on it. So by accident I read it. But I never read the screenplay. Never!
I already said to that person, please use better spoiler warnings!! In such cases....I get confused myself, I tend to forget rules, and....I hate myself for that. Sorry again, will not happen again.
Mr Hinx has Bond held by his jacket, but their both smiling, must be
sharing a joke. :)
DTD
Train sequences at least. :)
Love these.
Wowzers
Yaaassssss!!
This film already looks to have surpassed SF to me and is seriously giving CR a run for its money. SP is really looking like it's going to be Craig's best.
