I heard Babs was going to bring racist stereotypes back.
Me, too. Given the opportunity, I wouldn't change a thing about any Bond film.
- a mission that is personal to Bonds past
- a finale that takes place in the UK
- M or Moneypenny going out into the field
- discussions about how human intelligence is obsolete
- Bond presumed dead at the end of a PTS
- Bond with facial hair
- Bond showing his age
Generally I'd agree with you except for the slide whistle in TMWTGG. One of the greatest stunts in history reduced to a joke. They showed it once on Top Gear and just left it silent and it was utterly awesome.
And I wouldn't be devastated if the entire third act of SP was rewritten.
Agreed on Newman - had another listen to his two Bond entries and except for Day of The Dead he does nothing memorable and what is with the modern composer's aversion to writing a melody? It's all just mood pieces and clattering of rising percussion beats. What is the last truly iconic film score since the 90s?
I agree. I miss the days were movies good or bad had big iconic memorable themes you'd never forget. Instead today we get this themeless minimalist unmemorable noise that you'll forget seconds after you first hear it.
Yep, that's a thought that has occured a lot to me these past years. I can still hum passages from the first movies, whether they were written by Norman, Barry, Martin, Hamlish, Conti, or even Kamen. For David Arnold and Thomas Newman, not so much. At least, the first one gave us some humable tunes in "Sherlock", but not so much on Bond.
What, like the rude German in CS or the arrogant pig-headed South African in DAD...? Is that what you mean...?
I may be wrong here, trying to remember, but isn't it the tracker he uses to alert MI6 that he is going into cardiac arrest? He sticks something in his wrist. In which case it does play quite a big part in that film.
Only seen it about 20 times so my recall is vague.
1. Original titles: Fleming has enough titles for the next 24 bond films we really don't need James Bond returns in Tomorrow Dies Today. Do we? Not when The Property of A Lady The Hildebrand Rarity Shatterhand Shamelady Blofeld Colonel Von Hammerstien All the time in the world and Midnight among the worms
2. Over use/dependence on the formula. See Tomorrow Never dies Die Another Day and Spectre for that
3. Poor Roger Moore styled Jokes: The jokes in Spectre would work great on a Roger more film but this isn't a Roger Moore film and Craig just can't pull it off like good ole Roger
4. Bad American Sherifs (see diamonds are forever - The Man with the golden gun and A view to s kill for that)
5. Poor scripts
6. Going after a director because they got an Oscar
7. Bond being dubbed (see ohmss)
8. The name is bond James Bond being used as a musical score it's a great song but it's been in every Craig bond film and I am sick of it
9. Thomas Newman
10. Sam smith
And that is about it
You may be correct. I always thought that the doctor was able to analyse Bond's blood due to the thing he stuck in his vein. Isn't the chip just a tracker?
Presumably after the poisoning thing in CR Q branch came up with smart blood so they could monitor an agent's vital signs as an improvement over just a tracker.
Didn't miss it in CR or QoS.
I prefer Bond having a different enemy each film, part of what makes Bond great is who will be the next Villain.
Maybe they could keep Spectre but i prefer a different villain with a diferent motive each film. With Sean Connery Spectre worked fine but i never liked the idea of a recurring villain.
What I don't want is drama. The Connery films never had that. And if they did, it was very minor.
Back to basics,as Bond used to be.
Absolutely!!!
