It's possible, of course. With Logan involved in this one, I don't see that happening. I still blame Tamahori and after reading his statements, I hold him way more responsible for DAD's failures.
It actually spoiled the end of the film that much that I had big problems actually watching it after that.
Also, after seeing all of the past references to the other Bond films, you just think wow, the only driving force behind the whole plot was to get another one in.
Correction: Every scene with Jinx breathing air is unnecessary.
Correction: Every scene with Jinx breathing air is unnecessary. Well, P & W didn't believe that codename theory, so 1 up for them.
I'd rather watch Austin Powers than either of them and I dont like Austin Powers :)
I hate him so much that I really want to have him a 100% decent movie something that he has yet to get. I hopefor him that Bond23 will deliver his best movie.
DAD was the only time P n W were the only credited writers of a Bond film. Tamahori has made good films outside of Bond. He wins in my book.
What was wrong with him walking in PJs? I thought that was pretty badass. Only Bond could saunter into a hotel like that and get the best suite.
In the first 15 minutes of QOS we get two badly edited chase sequences and the awful title song (but I'll be fair, DAD has that too).
DAD please.
For my money DAD has some decent "nuggets" though but becomes pretty much unwatchable the moment Bond jumps into Graves's speed record breaker rocket and any notion of reality goes out the window.
As for the near universal condemnation here of QOS, I say it could have been a great Bond but for the editing and directing. The story could have been fleshed out a bit more, but Craig was excellent and Olga Kurylenko was the best Bond girl in many movies. I had hoped she would return.
I was teasing you, you know ;)
@ Bain- you get the LALD cabbie "right on, brother" for your astute comments :)
I knew that as soon as you mentioned MR which is easily the best movie in 007 franchise after the Connery years. ;)
:)) Now that's even funnier than Craig hating!
I dont beleive it will be cursed. Daniel Craig did say theres presure with the anniversary, but it's nice presure. I dont think it will effect the film. If anything, they will make it their best!!!!!!!!!! a movie to remember.
I've made that point lots of times. I think overhyping SF will hurt it more than anything, it could make it a let down for some people. I mean cmon, we even have a thread about Oscars it'll win!
Like I said, certain things like awesome cinematography, and an all star cast, director, and composer are evident. The rest to me is mostly a big ????????? as far as my feelings on SF and that's how I want it to be, and age has taught me not to expect either the best or the worst. But I have had gut instincts based on Bond trailers develop as well over the years, and they are usually right way more than wrong. And they are telling me this one is going to be well worth the wait.
I don't take notice of trailers anymore.
I've learned not to let trailers get my hopes up. The cast and the action seem great and the score probably will be too, but I'm not sure about the rest.
But my point is, overhyping it could make it a let down for some people no matter how good it is.
Worst one for me was probably A Guy Thing, I literally bought the ticket at random, but then I was not expecting to watch a James Bond, so the experience was far less disappointing.
