I love the ending - all of you fellow bond fans know why. I don't need to state the elements. They're obvious. This and CR are my two favourite endings to a Bond film ever. They have me cheering and pumped for the next film! That gun barrel is better than Spectre's but it's unforgivable not to have it at the beginning.
Changes in perspective : Moneypenny is really good this time around, I appreciate Newman a little more. The dialogue is a lot cleverer than I gave it credit for.
Everything else I've always held firm on in the past. I'm not sure of rankings but I'd say top 12 or 10 for me. I think Mendes is on form here but aside from the PTS and climax it's not that much of an action film. More a thriller almost. I do think thematically Mendes excels and he has something to say - as do the scriptwriters. Whereas I feel you can see Mendes was talked into Spectre and he had some of the superficial elements but not a lot of consistent story substance, but I will reassess spectre soon. Because skyfall's ending always has me excited for the next one!
And Tiffany starts off so impressively in Amsterdam,in control and confident ,compared to a rubbish thick gal later...shame.
The fact i see the original Las Vegas and i know the casino Bond is throwing craps in has not to long ago been demolished is nostalgia and history,which is in DAF favour.
Thats about right tbh....and the collapse of a promising character like Tiffany doesnt help,or Charles Gray as Blofeld.totally agree.
No not in that way,but she was a professional drug smuggler so i would expect more,but thats a personal assumption,i do see your point.
I love the pool-side scene which has just finished,where Bond reveals his colours and his determination to find out whats going on,after seeing Plenty drowned in the pool.
The moon buggy scene ,as you said @Birdleson ,matey,is naff,and it lost me a lot of games in the 'Top Trumps Supercars' games i used to play as a kid,as i always loved it when i got the moon-buggy card but it had crap scores and i always lost.
DAF-TSWLM-MR-YOLT-AVTAK-TB, that's what we already have behind us.
OP PTS, exciting, funny, innovative, Moore at his best. I almost can't get better than this PTS wise.
Nice titles, but the song is a bit meh... (the guy's words ;) )
Personally I have grown accustomed to its sound.
And MI6 would stick M,MP and Q in a car to help Bond ?...sorry,if London is under attack,dont we have MI6 ,MI5 agents,SAS and police ,who can all help without causing distraction ?
As per my thread on Blofeld getting away in the helicopter,this grinds on me everytime to see Blofeld crawling on the floor like an idiot,compared to Blofeld in FRWL,TB and OHMSS...i cant watch it.
It seems they have more employees than whoever worked in C's building! Place is bone dry on the night of a major surveillance program launch.
