It usually is!
I had applause at my second showing and the woman next to me was teary-eyed. I think this movie will be well-received and make a lot of money.
I find the Thunderball scene where he blackmails the unwilling health spa worker to sleep with him worse. I don't know why.
Yikes, tell us how you really feel.
Anyway, with regards to "female producers," recall that a male producer sent Bond to outer space. . .
The difference today is that the ladies have now learned to use their sex against us simple men, so what goes around etc......... ;)
Sure, because character like Milady from The Three Musketeers, or Mata Hari, or..., never existed. They're new now... Fiona Volpe never existed, for example ;)
Use more Fleming!
Use less Fleming!
Use Fleming differently!
:)) No kidding! I have no idea why anyone expects Barbara, Michael, and the writers to be insane enough to listen to this crap.
Anything to change the trajectory of this thread!
As an introductory sidenote: I saw the film in a German dub and found the dub to be pretty glaring and especially for actors like Fiennes and Wishaw who can do a lot just through modulating their voice, so a key part is missing in my appraisal.
I thought Wishaw was fantastic, stole every scene he was in. Just delightful. I don't expect him to, because everything will be rebooted, I think, but I wouldn't be against him returning.
Fiennes I thought left a bit on the table. That might be down to the script (or the dub, as mentioned), but the enormity of what he did and how the situation escalates didn't fully land for me. Imagine what Dench would have done if she had to confess she tried to build a super-weapon that has broken contianment and been turned into a WMD! But this is complaining on the highest level, I think. The first scene between Bond and M in his office is great.
Harris and Kinnear are a bit lost in the plot, I think. Tanner doesn't get to do anything, and Moneypenny not much. Both do well enough in those scenes, I suppose.
Lol. Well can't be helped. The ending of the movie is just as depressing :((
Just wait until a journalist joins the forums and we get an article about how us Bond fans are all moaning infants based on the evidence of this thread.... :)) [/quote]
For what is worth my show yesterday was sold out and at the end everybody cheered in excitement. Perhaps the film is garbage only to some hardcore fans. [/quote]
My best friend went with his 11 year old son last night. The boy couldn't believe James Bond 007 was dead. He thought James Bond always lived. He said that it ruined the film for him. So it ain't just hardcore fans.
I don't think they will. Would be a mind trip if its still them with a new Bond actor to replace Craig 2 or 3 years from now. After that moment they had drinking for Bond in M's office after his death, I just can't imagine seeing them all again with a Bond that isn't Craig.
Was an open book
You used to say live and let live
(You know you did, you know you did)
(You know you did)
But if this ever changing world
In which we're living
Makes you give in and cry
Say Die Blofeld Die!
Kids always have problems with heroes dying.
Yeah, I get that. The one that always bugged me was the hotel room in Moonraker where he's sitting on the couch with the woman. He just pulls the sash off her dress! He only MET HER TWO MINUTES AGO!!!
Some line about not knowing how to Samba.
I'm like "WHAT !?!?"
Do the Nomi spin-off in that universe direct to streaming (no way you get enough budget to pay all of them, but whatever) and a whole new set of actors for cinematic Bond #7. Some proper comic book lore-bullshit, where you have a universe in which the main character of the series is dead! :)) And then in 2035 you do multiverse crossovers, because, why not.
Back to original continuity with an all new cast. Have it follow on from Die Another Day. No more reboots PLEASE.
You forgot one more -
Use Fleming correctly (Dr. No, FRWL, GF, TB, OHMSS, CR).
No, that's "use Fleming differently". You're covered.
You like when Vesper was used in CR06 and Bond reacted to her death nearly directly opposite to the way he did in the book, but maybe not when Bond strangles Blofeld in NTTD and says "Die, Blofeld die" like in the YOLT novel. Who cares?
Barbara Broccoli has always praised Daniel Craig as Bond. In the NTTD junket interviews she said "I wish he could be Bond forever." The actor she loves playing the role is given the most depressing end imaginable. Blown to pieces. You would think she would want Craig's Bond remembered in a positive light but it's the complete opposite. How will we remember Craig's Bond? Oh yeah, the one that was incinerated!
Hardly a great way for Barbara to treat (arguably) her favourite James Bond actor.
In the interviews Barbara Broccoli emphasized NTTD was important because it gave people the opportunity to go back to the cinema after the dark time of coronavirus. She said the film is about rejoicing the community spirit etc.
And then she gives us a film where the main hero is incinerated. A brutal death. The perfect motif for the coronavirus era. Instead of fans going to see NTTD to get away from the grim world in which we live - over 100,000 UK dead from coronavirus - she is reminding us of that grimness. You leave the cinema deflated, thinking "well that was a bit depressing." That's the very emotional state nobody wanted after eighteen months of coronavirus pandemic.
Surely a happier ending would have been more appropriate? The vaccine rollout is a success, coronavirus is less dangerous... so let's go see the new James Bond film and celebrate!
And all Eon gave us is "life is harsh, your hero can die too."
It felt like they were separated more than they were ever together
It starts merely some months after they drove away London at the end of SPECTRE.
Than they stay apart for 5 years.
So yes, more separated than togheter, similar amount of time than Vesper
