I'll give you the CGI but overall I thought that was relitively minor. Let's not forget that for the 40th anniversary CG was rather more prevelant :p
I LOVE the nod they made to GE early on haha.
I liked the GE reference but
Ha!
Maybe if Bond 24 is better it will take the no. 1 spot but OHMSS is such a special film and Barry's score is pretty much unbeatable in the action film scoring arena.
Bond dies. The ending to end all endings.
You see, I choose not to agree with that. CR is still ever so slightly a better film IMO. The puns, the dialogues, the flow of the story, the novelty of the Craig Bond and of course the smart plot which is primarily owed to Fleming's genius - they all combine into a solid number 1 spot for CR in the Craig era. That said, SF is a very - very close second.
Whishaw's Q didn't trick out Bond's db5. It's likely the previous quarter master did.
I hesitate to compare the nu-Bond-verse with the old Bond-verse. The new films have a different kind of vibe, so I am reluctant to compare the two series. But SF should blow both CR and QoS out of the water based on what I've seen and heard.
But if one must compare the two series, nothing is going to top TB, FRWL, DN, GF, YOLT or DAF for me. Honorable mention to OHMSS. Everything that's been done since, IMO are basically big-budget energetic homages to the original masterpieces and the original Bond.
Action, music, acting...all top notch. Cinema was full to every last seat and listening to people walking out it seems the concensus was unanimous that it was a triumph.
Was so great sat with a full cinema of kids, teenagers, middle aged people like myself and old couples all enjoying a Bond film so much
As Ian Fleming, James Bond’s creator, noted in his 13th novel, ‘You Only Live Twice’, James Bond was born of a Scottish father, Andrew Bond of Glencoe, and a Swiss mother, Monique Delacroix.
Like his son, Andrew Bond attended Fettes school in Edinburgh and later became a foreign representative of the Vickers armaments firm. Tragically, both Andrew and Monique were killed in a climbing accident in the Aiguilles Rouges above Chamonix.
so cool, i am a huge bond fan, but never ever looked into james bonds parents.
The acting, storyline, setpieces, and direction were all excellent. Silvas reason for hating M and MI6 was wasn't overdone, leaving more room for the drama to unfold.
I loved it.
Mod edit: some members still forget that not everyone has seen the film yet. Spoiler tags included.
GE is shockingly awful, along with all the other 3 Brozza Bond flicks. It really is that bad, and I'm truly amazed it gets the undeserved hype that it gets. It has to be one of the most overrated films of all time.
I'm amazed anyone can like that mess of a movie. It ranks as one of the worst, only marginally better than DAD and AVTAK, but arguably not even as good as TND or TWINE. Definitely a low point in the franchise.
I despise seeing Brozza as Bond, and in GE he is at his weakest in terms of performance and appearance - a weedy, thin, feminine GQ model who wouldn't know how to throw a punch if his life depended on it.
Even though it is an original story it has a fleming feel all the way through the film. I loved it.
