B. I'd rather they take out Quantum prematurely at the end of QOS than totally retcon them in SP. I didn't even wanna see SPECTRE return to be honest.
B. I don't think it would've necessarily been better. Just a cool way to end the movie with Bond killing Mr. White and the shot segueing into the gunbarrel sequence like it did in CR. It ends the way it began and we go back to completely standalone films. And I NEVER bought the fact that Mr. White would grow a conscious.
I respect your opinion though.
IMHO, SP should have shown/told us where Quantum ended and SPECTRE began. Maybe Quantum should‘ve been one party at that meeting in Rome (liked that in SP) next to other organizations and they as a whole formed SPECTRE, controlled by #1 in the shadow. This would in a way resemble what we saw in TB - subdivisions somewhat operating on their own but controlled by the „master organization“. It would have explained Quantum and still brought SPECTRE on the table.
From there on it would have made more sense what happened to Mr. White. And to me all of this including his daughter etc. would make more sense for the viewer.
Of course the whole last third of SP would still need a total rewrite ... but that‘s something different ... don‘t get me started on the MI6 maze or basically everything past the desert train station ...
We were owed a film in between which would give some better closure to the events of QoS although there's still a chance to help do that with Bond 25.
Even websites like What Culture wanted to see Quantum and other aspects return from the film.
To me I would have preferred if they kept Spectre for a new Bond. It would have been a better way to introduce a new Bond. They could do a TB, OHMSS, and YOLT type trilogy with Spectre and Blofeld.
Sadly they have now squandered that opportunity.
As for Quantum it's grown on me over the years. I must admit the ending of the necklace falling into the snow with the "I never left" gives me goosebumps. In fact all of the DC endings have been rather good.
What happened to the potential of CR and QOS?
Mendes came along................
Craig's mate. Bad move
My thoughts exactly @SeanCraig
So did SP.
Me too @Remington ... Two great actors/characters growling and shouting at each other (but somehow making it feel like it's in slo-mo)
Lol that about sums it up.
This song is clearly inspired by David Arnold's "Night at the Opera" track. Similar melody, instrumentation (use of drawn out melody over tremolos)...
So if David Arnold is good enough to borrow ideas from for Hans Zimmer, why isn't he good enough to bring back for B25?
It's kind of a funny thought considering that Thomas Newman borrowed the Hans Zimmer sound... Newman borrowed some Zimmer who borrowed some Arnold.
Thomas Newman also borrowed directly from David Arnold in one of his Bond movies as well. Funny thing is that both Hans Zimmer and Thomas Newman both rely on simplistic percussions as opposed to the complex level of details and care that Arnold would give.
+1
Having seen him before settling down with Mr. White's daughter may have stirred up some of his melancholy which was visible in the very air of QoS. What do you all think?
It doesn't relate to the plot so I don't really see how it could be considered a spoiler.
I mean, they most likely did meet a few times after QoS. Bond says Felix is a friend of his in SPECTRE, so I assume they spent some time together.
Yup!
That song, The Dead Don't Care is a whole new Bond theme on its own.
Years after QoS, MI6 website did an article about Crawl End Crawl or Oil Fields, and in the following movie, his work was used....that's how good he did the job!
This film had an appreciation thread already this just fan wankery.
While every actor has their style of approach to the films, the ones that stand the test of time better are the dark ones with more realism and less reliance on things that easily can be used to parody the franchise.
It's not surprising that someone who didn't really have much involvement with the creative process as DC does and whose last film was just a s--- show called Die Another Day would make such a comment. You can tell PB misses the role and there is still some forgivable and understandable insecurity.
CR-QOS......true quality films of the franchise that shows when an actor and the production team work hard, good results come about.
