I agree...TB definitely is a work of art ;)
Completely agree. I've given up trying t defend it. If you can't see what an absolutely incredible bit of cinema it is then I simply pity you.
To say it's a work of art is pushing it though. In terms of pop culture it's the Mona Lisa but in real terms it's nothing more than rollickingly good boys own adventure - which is far from a bad thing.
Unless it's SP right?
Really? I thought you had an implant in your iris with it on a loop 24/7?
I guess it would make life a bit difficult if you had to walk round with a stonk on all day.
SP still seems to be garnering mixed reactions; it seems to be a film like LTK or TWINE were there just isn't a consensus on it.
A lot of scenes are just ridiculous and too far fetched even for a Bond movie. Especially that Fort Knox robbery combined with strange pacing both there and on Goldfinger's farm.
DN, FRWL and TB are all much better movies imo.
Spectre is one of the few Bonds I've seen in the cinema, that has left me feeling good, even after a couple of years after it's initial release. Honestly, the only flaw, which I have gotten over with is the decision to make Bond and Blofeld stepbrothers. What's done is done.
Skyfall, however I like less the more I see it. The movie is good when they keep the villain in shadows. From the moment they introduse Silva it's all downhill for me. The whole former mi6 agent gone bad was done much better in Goldeneye.
The whole latter part is a snooze fest for me. I'm thinking while watching the whole Scotland finale; just go and kill M already. I'm falling asleep in here!
Even the whole plan to go there all twosome was stupid. Bond literally got M killed. Sure, he thought he had full room of weaponry there. But to go there alone?
Sure, the only way to retire Dame Judi Dench, was to kill off her character. But...meh! Made Bond look all incopetent.
Worst finale. Like eveeer! Also apart from the monologue, Silva as villain. Not my cup of tea.
Rant over.
Skyfall, can pinpoint the flaws that make it worse every single time I rewatch it. Spectre I still very much love.
I love the climax also, purely because it's unique and looks absolutely stunning.
Yes, but it was done in a "dip your toe in" manner. They didn't quite embrace it. Yes, they throw the old school imagery in there, but in terms of tone and the actual story, its still the same. They won't go in that direction now. Bond 25 will be back to the brooding Bond, and I think there will be sequences that address Bonds age and bring up the "old dog" aspect. It will be built up like Blofeld is the one thing he has to see to before he can let go of being a secret agent. They will make it a personal and emotional story.
Or better yet. Not adress it at all. We'll se if it's just continuation of this current era, reboot or even a retcon. Just have to wait and see.
If they are to be true to the character, it has to end that way. The man hates "the soft life."
They should tie off Craig's era and just start the new Bond as a Bond at it for years, much like Fleming's Bond. We know he'd been working since the war and didn't need to get caught up on all his past history.
Best intro ever for a new Bond - Dalton in TLD IMO. Awesome PTS.
And thats why it won best pts in our poll!
