Ahem....what about Alec Trevelyan, Elektra King, LeChiffre???
Yeah but it's basically a spy comedy.
Not my idea of a Bond film.
I didn't say i didn't like comedy in Bond films. Just not when it takes over and the film becomes a comedy.
I didn't like John Wick because I think it's dumb, has tedious repetitive action and akin to watching a mate play a shoot em up video game.
John Wick, as silly as it was, needed some humour and irony to help us appreciate it's absurd events, but since it had none, it came off (to me) as unintentionally moronic
As I've mentioned before. Shoot Em Up did it much better. It has imaginative action, its funny without being unintentionally stupid and has 3 really good lead performances.
I found the nightclub scene utterly tedious with CGI bullet hits and zero suspense. Just my opinion. (Give me The Matrix lobby shootout any day of the week)
Not sure how it fits in with this discussion but I agree with you about Craig's fights in SF. Nowhere near as good as CR or QoS.
Also why I was so pleased and suprised with the fight on the train in SP. One of the best Bond fights of the series.
Apologies, thought you were replying directly to me.
The editing in QoS was a bit of a nightmare at the cinema but I loved it on my 50 inch TV at home!
Much like The Bourne Supremacy. It gave me a headache at the cinema. Loved the film watching it at home.
Either way it's boring.
As a matter of fact I dropped off.
Can't say I blame you. I'll wait for some actual news.
Yes, thank you. I love the QoS action scenes. Worked very well in the film, suited it perfectly.
It depends on the context. For a Bond film, the John Wick shootout in the night club would be utterly lacking in motivation. Why would Bond just massacre everybody in his sight? Bond never was a one-man slaughterhouse, he usually called in the cavalry in the end for the big mayhem. For a character like John Wick, like him or not (I don´t particularly), the action fits perfectly. As you said yourself, @DaltonCraig007, you find it hard to relate to Bond´s stylised fight in SF after what he delivered before.
;)
that toying with our beloved Bond franchise...oh Dear, the sheer thought makes me cringe...
..
Don't worry. I imagine it will be short lived. :D
Dare I say it, but the 'humour' in the car chase of SP is certainly not what I would call dry sardonic wit. There was some of this in QOS and SF but none so egregious as that in the car chase.
