The Lewis Gilbert films, really? Don't you mean the whole hog à la Terence Young..?
Budget constraints could also prevent it, as it's more difficult to make one of those without using a lot of CGI or spending a heck of a lot of money.
I'd love to see one too, but I don't think we will during Craig's run.
I always wish that Greene's reservoir construction project in QoS had been shown on a grander scale - lots of goons and heavy machinery working away beneath the earth.
Definitely. Bond should have blown up the damn and then there should have been scenes of the water rushing back into the river valleys etc and kids splashing around and double-taking lamas (may be not).
Was it you who said you didn't like the final battle in SF? I'm the same - I thought it was a bit boring. But I actually liked what Mendes was trying to do. The big epic set-piece battle, except this time on Bond's home turf. It was a nice idea. Just poorly executed. That's my problem with most of SF. I love the intent but just find the execution doesn't hit the right buttons for me. May be I'm getting a bit tired of Craig's deadpan Bond as well. Not sure. Hoping SP reignites my interest, otherwise I'll be looking forward to the new actor pretty soon.
Yes, Mendes missed a trick there. May be he'll work that into SP. Hope so! And I want some yodelling in the alpine scenes - may be as Bond does a dramatic jump over a cravass or something. That would be brilliant.
Oh, and cow bells. Must have cow bells.
And more cowbell? :P
I think he is bad. I mean really bad, awful.
Straight out of 'From a view to a kill' short story...
Now where is my crossbow, so I can hunt down that @thunderfinger? ;)
I've now decided that, while Brosnan may be noticably more comfortable in TND, he's better utilized and actually more convincing in Goldeneye.
Point taken but its being handled in a more gritty realistic manner, none of the ice-berg surfing, remote controlled BMW style nonsense that tarnished the Brosnan years.
the Haggis polish is worse than anything that P&W could ever come with, most people really overrated Haggis influence when one looks at his work you only end up with cliches and generally not too brilliant a job.
I thought he was the one who cleaned up the dialogue for CR. It was certainly better than the immediately prior movies. Otherwise, heaven forbid, we may have had "yoh mama" 2 or "buried with work"
The Yuoh Mama gets laid at P&W feet but it is well known that Tamahori had way too bad an influence on DAD. And Haggis and dialogue, please help me. I saw Haggis' Oscar winning movie for which he wrote the script as well talking about a collection of cliches thrown together, it makes DADs dialogue actually actually look sparkling [Okay I admit stretching it somewhat too much, but it is meant to make a point].
;)
Of the two, PB is the better actor. His is the better Bond. But he wasn't a Bond I wanted to spend much time with. So I was glad when his tenure came to an end. However, I like PB films. I cannot think of anything outside of Bond that I dislike. For me, it just wasn't a good fit.
Agree that in that dept. he was top notch. I actually preferred Moore marginally (particularly in TMWTGG when he really looked his best imo) but I can't complain with the way Brozz looked as Bond. Not one bit actually.
I was happy with GE & TND. TWINE is the absolute pits for me (my lowest ranked Bond by far) so that affected my overall impression of him and his tenure negatively. DAD is DAD (although I thought he was much better in DAD than in TWINE - I actually think it was his most assured performance as Bond, particularly in the earlier parts before the Ice Palace - he really seemed to be having a blast and coming into his own).
I watched it recently. The movie has many flaws, as we all know, although it's quite entertaining despite this. I thought Brozz was very good in it, especially in the earlier half. I liked his portrayal here the best as it was more arrogant and less sentimental. More confident and assured - like when he told Pike's Frost 'put your back into it'. Only in some of his later scenes with Berry did his trademark sentimentality spoil it a little for me, but thankfully these scenes were few and far between. So I have no complaints with him in this one. It was a very good performance imo.
