Out of the first five parts, Shanghai gets the top spot! Absolutely beautiful with great camera work, great music and great tension.
It had its good parts. Shanghai and as discussed Scotland. The interior of Maccau again was good but Bonds arrival felt and looked artificial.
The CGI/greenscreen (motorbike sequence) thru Turkey also tainted what should have been a fantastic sequence.
Second favourite scene would have to be the Macau casino. Impeccable lighting and visual texture, a real feast for the eyes.
There was something quite enchanting also about Silva's island, I wish we could have seen a little bit more of it.
So in answer to OP's question, 3,4 and 5 in that order!
Second place: Silva's Island - amazing encounter with Silva.
Third place: Skyfall attack - very good gunfight with style (and with Aston martin DB5).
All scenes with DB5 were good.
And I've seen much more blatant use of green screens in older Bonds. Never was a reason to dislike a certain film. Some people still don't want to accept that the motorbike chase was mostly done for real. It's a sad world.
Agreed.
There's special effects thus:
and there's special effects thus:
IMO, SF is in the former class, DAD in the latter.
Moneypenny, M, Leather door, familiar office and Bond. Perfect scene and it gave me goosebumps, no, pleasure.
The Marksman practice. All brilliant.
That's where SF excelled for me. Bringing back classic Bondian moments without ever making them chessy or forced
Did u like the home alone/Ateam montage when they were preparing skyfall lodge for the baddies?
The home alonesque thing made me cringe, I wish they hadn't done it really. Should have stuck to just the sawn of shotguns.
Best part is Silva's Island, because of Javier Bardem's magnificent introduction.
Worst? Shanghai/anything about the harddrive that's not the PTS.
And Silva's introducing himself to Bond... rats... so funny :D there are two rats :D
Sadly, DB5 didn't survive (and explode? Come on! Vanquish can't even destroyed by ZAO! or QOS DBS)... and M.... I think the most dramatic is both of them, M and the car..
Shanghai the worst? :((
That doesn't mean it was bad.. the worst part of a great movie still made up part of said great movie.
