I think it depends on what you are expecting and your preference. I haven't seen the film but the take seems to be equally mixed likes and dislikes.
It's not a Ronin chase so if expecting that then yea you may not like it.
No, I can only assume it's just not what other expected. There was a lot of talk on here about it being like Bullitt, or Ronin etc. In reality it's tonally more like the 2CV chase, but with super cars. Which suits me fine. We already had a pedal to the metal chase in QoS. It took me by surprise and I loved it.
RC7 got things about right above when comparing it to the 2CV chase. It's more fun than tense and is certainly the closest to Roger's Bond that we've ever seen in the Craig era.
Although I enjoyed I personally found it a little disappointing as I was expecting more in the way of actual stunts but it's mostly just a showcase for good stunt driving.
That is a fantastic picture. The man just looks impeccable and he was simply fantastic as a fully formed 007 in SP. Craig isn't going anywhere, something I've always maintained and I cant wait to see him come back for a 5th outing.
Agreed in that Craig doesn't look tired. That's a load of horse shyte. No Bond actor has ever looked as fit as Craig in the role and at 47 in SP he's in better shape than all his predecessors in all their Bond outings, with Connery coming close in TB.
I think that was the problem. When one gets to a certain age, it's best not to be too thin imho, because all the age related lines start to show up more prominently everywhere (including in the neck, around the eyes, near the mouth/cheek etc. etc.).
He had a bit of weight to him in FYEO & especially in OP & that masked the aging, even if he looked unfit in the latter.
Plus him smoking all those cigars didnt help
Didn't John Logan work on an outline for what would be a 2-parter, isn't that where that originated, and then Sony must have wanted to do them back-to-back.
@ British people
You think that Daniel Craig will be knighted someday?
And the way Spectre ends... there´s no room for other options!
I honestly believe that B25 is Craig´s swansong, directed by Sam Mendes and based on a storyline which already exists... though I already want him to do the sixth :D
But I fear, P+W will come up with some ludicrous explanation for it.
I don't think it would feel forced at all. They could leave it where it is, but there's also plenty of room to deliver another.
It will depend on how this film is remembered in 6-12 months time (that is the proper timeframe to get a proper perspective imho). If it is seen positively overall (creatively.....we all know this will be a box office monster), then there will be pressure to keep the team and move forward with a conclusion. I think DC/Mendes know how to resist that pressure if they want to (they had to do it for SF).
If it's seen as a step backward from what came before (like TDKR in a way) then it may be a good time to let it all go and move forward/reinvent again.
From DC's perspective, it may be a good time to pack it in because he seems to have come full circle. He's fulfilled his mandate, which was to reinvent/reinvigorate Bond. No one can say he hasn't done that.
