:-c
Nice find, the most references are to GoldenEye which confirms my initial thoughts after seeing SP that this is Craig's GoldenEye to some extend.
Funny how many references they made to the Brosnan era. That must not sit well with some here :))
;)
That's why I divided my review into good, meh, and disappointing.
Ultimately, I think Spectre will go down in Bond history as a middle of the road
Bond film. Not the worst, not the best. It's just that when the new film isn't what some may not consider the "best" it's a bummer. Things will calm down. People are entitled to their opinion either way. I haven't seen by mud slinging such as "if you like this movie you're a moron!" Or "if you don't like it you're a stick in the mud" (direct me to these posts if they exist, as I love to witness drama). My point: It's not that bad. People aren't going to agree, and that's fine. Emotions run high because we are all fans!
I'll stop rambling....
Thank you for blessing us with your foresight :))
Nuff said!
Please do refrain from any further looking into the future, I urge you :))
There was a restraint to QoS that SP has made me appreciate all the more. I thought I wanted more Vesper but I actually wanted less.
Hang on, there was a helicopter roll filmed for GE?
Yes that Eurocopter..but I don't think for real because I recall the stunt team saying it was too dangerous... I think.. not sure.
Oh boy. We're really in trouble then....
Second point its no wonder they can't afford to rebuild MI6 HQ if they are spending that much money on a prototype with mostly a flame thrower and a radio.
What a depressing and disappointing post. Keep going is what I say. No more damn delays, Bond is going on strong. Strike while the iron is hot and seize the moment. I'll take more Bond over inferior spy movies.
It's the same in german (they say "Du" instead of "Sie") and every other language that has two words for both meanings.
But it's meant to be "personal" in english, too. Because Oberhauser says "James" instead of "Mr. Bond". So everyone knows how the "you" is meant.
But I don't want another 300 billion budget either. Simple thriller strong plot ...well written.
Agree about everything except the 5 yr break. Move forward quickly with the new one immediately. That, to me, is more important than an SP sequel or a DC 5th.
300 billion.......now that's some budget.
btw:- please turn the image on your avatar to portrait mode, i had to rotate my screen 90 degrees to see what the image was!
:))
Lol I've been trying to fix that on my phone but no luck. It's driving me crazy lol.
It's a picture of a picture of my grandfather who was born in the UK but spent most if his life as a Texan. Yee Haw
By the time I was born he had lost his accent but the cool thing was that he had a James Bond facial scar from a dog attack.
I do too in a way. I am a big fan of Craig's Bond ...it's not that.
On one hand, yes I'd say so too, on the other hand..
no way, because Bond 25 even if only half as good as Spectre would still be infinitely better than the drab drag Skyfall or the epileptic QOS.
Furthermore now that Craig finally got the movie he deserved that should have come after Casino Royale, they should continue like this.
Either way Bond lives on. :)
True, and I rather take Justin Bieber as the new Bond and One Direction doing the theme song than not having a new Bond movie at all...
...wait...damn...the universe just imploded.. :))
Then maybe in Bond 26 we get a new lead actor and they can bring back Blofeld and just ignore all of the foster brother connections that Spectre created. It wouldn't follow logic in terms of continuity, but when has Bond ever cared about that before the Craig era?
Lol ...couldn't be any worse than Barry Nelson.
Haha. I can't tell if you're just joking around (because of the second bit) but if you're being serious I'll respect your guess and venture one of my own:
It will "go down in history" exactly how it is being received by most Bond fans and the general public/critics alike: middle to low-middle of the pack. The writing is far too weak for it to experience a critical reappraisal like OHMSS.
I know this is from a few pages back, but the way I viewed it was it gave M another angle by which to be against the total surveillance idea as it evolved throughout the movie. Originally he wants Bond tracked after Mexico City, but once he sees that C is not above spying on MI6 directly, and that Nine Eyes will create an unstoppable surveillance power, I think he realizes that this kind of tracking can easily fall into the wrong hands. The second half of the movie, to me, is him learning that needs to trust 007 (that, plus M throwing the newspapers down in front of Bond, are a couple of recalls from Casino Royale) and let him get the job done without peering over his shoulder, but the smart blood is part and parcel with this, imho.
