Something that worked beautifully in CR was when Mathis told Bond there was no cavalry coming...they need to get back to that sense of danger.
Exactly. A sense of Bond being on his own or just relying on a key local ally. And more sense of danger/peril. TBH apart from maybe the torture scene in CR I've never felt Craig's Bond has ever been in much real personal danger.
The PTS was the most enviromental danger Bond has been in since CR.
Very fair criticism and a pleasure to hear him openly talking about the franchise these days.
Fair comment from the Broz. Wonder what his views are on his own snooze-fests?
He's not THAT diplomatic. He's says its overlong and the story is weak... He's basically saying he was bored watching it.
:))
IMO SF & SP both had weak stories & were overlong. I was bored by NEITHER, but I like SP a WHOLE LOT more.
Republican U.S. Presidential candidate debates & cable infomercials are 'BORING.' B-)
All 4 Brosnan movies did more than good. I'm pretty sure everyone involved was very happy from 1995-2002.
And outside of such forums, the Brosnan-era is not looked upon more critically than Dalton's or even Moore's.
Get a grip and face reality.
Matador was good. Concerning the other films you mention...well...if I were Brosnan, I'd attempt to have my name struck from the credits.
Yes, good posting. Yeoman's work.
4th viewing tomorrow. Might bring shades to protect against the glare from Blofelds bare ankles. Very distracting.
I am not as enamoured with this movie as I was at first but I still like watching it, even if it is a Mendes Bond film.
Still lots of good Bond stuff in the film, even if the broader presentation seems kind of off.
The movie just has too much of a heavy feel IMO.
It's a good Bond film, but it's also a Sam drama and that 2nd bit, I think is the problem in a nutshell.
Looking forward to seeing Seydoux sashay down the train aisle again and every second of Sigman screen time.
Bond Girls are great in this film even if there are only 3.
Rome car chase is my favourite action scene.Beautifully shot and I do like the interplay with MP that it's intercut with.
Really like the whole snow chase too and watching Craig finally getting the chance to take full ownership of the character.
This is just a thought, but could the villians of the Daniel Graig James Bond films represent the Seven Deadly Sins?
Casino Royale: Le Chiffre = Greed (banker of the underworld)
Quantum of Solace; Greene = Gluttony (wants the watersupply of Bolivia)
Skyfall: Silvia = Wrath (wants revenge on MI6 and M)
spectre: Blofeld = Pride ('i am the author of all your pain' (or something like that), he sees himself above Bond, which you could say 'pride').
What is left: Envy, Lust and Sloth.
Bond25 = 007 says balls to the mission and decides to have a lie in instead. ;)
Bond26 = 007 envies 009's big co....ahem....car and secretly kills him in his sleep.
He offered praise with criticism...just like us... and ended with Bond fan enthusiasm.
That's the most truly Moore-ish I've ever heard Brosnan.
""SPECTRE" is neither fish nor fowl. It’s neither Bond nor Bourne."
Well, Brosnan isn't slashing Craig's wrists, but he is slashing the film. And in all honesty I find it a bit too harsh. For me "SPECTRE" has a solid story, has explained several aspects of the villain's plot way better than in "SKYFALL", and in fact feels way more 'Bond' to me than previous outings.
This Jason Bourne comments....I'm getting a bit tired of it. Because with "SKYFALL" and "SPECTRE" the films have become more 'Bond' and less 'Jason Bourne'. I always find it a missed chance that journalists don't continue asking questions like "How do you compare "SPECTRE" with your own Bond films?"
Yeah I'm tired of the Bourne comments...and Bourne for that matter.
But he expressed his opinion which some have shared even those like me who enjoyed the film.
What I appreciated is that he ended the statement with positive comments regarding both Craig and the future of the series.
Yes, but still he was pretty harsh on the actual film. Roger Moore always rephrases in a more gentleman-esque manner.
Ok I can see that... I quickly read the link... probably should re-read.
It's better than any Bond film he appeared in though (including box office receipts)......ironic really.
I agree.
I agree too. Anyone else agree? If we find 50 'agrees' we win the lottery :-P.
