When the iris opens up for the next Bond film, SURPRISE, it's Daniel Craig on a yellow life raft at sea.
Bond looks directly at the camera like Lazenby and says "You were expecting someone else?"
I see them reintroducing everything. New continuity, new Bond, new MI6 supporting cast, new Blofeld and "take" on SPECTRE (maybe not immediately, though). The only constants I'd expect would be martinis, tuxedos, a Walther PPK, and the James Bond theme.
Some great points. They could have left some ambiguity and the fact they didn't does seem to be a snub to those who have built up different expectations over several decades. And saying it's fine because that's what studios have recently been doing with comic book characters to milk every penny they can from old ideas doesn't really cut it for me.
The action in NTTD is done fairly well. In fact, its probably some of the best action we've ever seen in a Bond film, as it puts you right in the middle of the action.
We don't see Bond bloodied or battered like we saw in CR, but the action does feel quite violent at times.
Very violent. It is difficult to compare it to other films in the series, but the action is definitely heads on and Bond is extremely badass in this.
Now that sounds awesome! :D
If you have a point of criticism about the film, just make it politely. Rudeness and pitting us against each other is why some fans leave this forum.
I agree 100%.
Works in both ways of course, if someone is critical of a Bond film, there is no reason to talk down on him/her for doing so. (I’m not referring to you btw, but I thought this was a good moment to touch upon that too.)
It is in fact the people who like the film who have been accused of not being "true fans". I think that's appropriate to point out, in case people have misunderstood...
Totally agree. There’s been a lot of comments on both sides that have been over the top. If we all agreed on everything then it would be a short and boring conversation. It’s much nicer when people can be polite when disagreeing though
Onward we go ... B-)
True, and all of us being here is testament enough that we’re all ‘true fans’. Doesn’t have anything to do with your preferences as a fan.
Having said that, I have read that those critical of the last film are ‘not getting it’ or are ‘close-minded’, and I’d say that’s a bit too far as well.
The film essentially puts pay to all four styles of Craig’s Bond films.
At times the action/humour tone is like CR
Other times it’s like SP only more interesting.
The hand to hand fight with Primo and Ash are straight out of QOS.
It even meta references the whole blonde Bond issue the press had back when CR was announced. When Bond says to Felix, “who’s the blonde.
At times it’s entirely it’s one film. Such as the lab break in. Moving into the base. Safin’s scenes. The assault on the base.
Other times it plays as a greatest hits of the Craig era.
I wanted two things from the child. Her to have tears in her eyes when Bond is being kept at bay by Safin (have her whimper for his help).
Bond to be able to show in some way to her that she’s his/vice versa.
I am off to dinner now. Talk to you later. I am interested in how many times you plan to see NTTD in the theater. So let me throw that out there. I hope to see it at least 4 times. What are your plans?
I will definitely watch it again in a week or so. Thoroughly enjoyed many aspects of it, and maybe, I hope, the ending will work better for me on a second viewing.
Good for you and thanks for sharing.
Maybe someone will even do a fan edit of just taking the few seconds of Bond and Madeleine on the road in Italy in the PTS of NTTD up until Bond says "We have all the time in the world." and sticks it on the end of SP and everyone can be happy that James Bond has found a happy ending, got the girl and will just drive around the Italian countryside for eternity because nothing bad ever happens and he will never, ever die.
