To me it feels like NTTD is breaking more than 60 years of certainties. But man… what a way to go for Daniel.
“The mission that changes everything”. They weren’t kidding.
Have my seat booked for 0.05 am showing tomorrow but won't be going back to see it again.
Same here. This film doesn't exist as far as I'm concerned, especially after a six year wait.
Eon should be paying the audience to sit thru this cop out dreck.
Not interested. They just lost another fan, and I won't be going to see any new film at this point. It would only just get worse.
From the perspective of someone who has not yet seen it, it sounds cheap and done just because it can be be done :( the thing I’m most curious about right now is that rumor of there having been multiple endings shot…
From what I read - also from users on this thread - this ending is extremely earned. Plus, there’s not even a single review that criticizes how the film ends.
Having seen the film, I concur with this sentiment. I really liked the film and the more I think about it, the more I like it.
However, I'm the type of fan who enjoys the subversion. I want the plots to be more personal, I love the fact M was the leading lady of SF, I want a person of colour to be the new Bond, etc. The franchise needs shaking up.
If you like 'more of the same' from your Bond films, you're a staunch traditionalist, etc. Then I think this film will polarise you. I actually think the sentiment that this is both Craig's silliest and most serious film is very accurate.
What I will say is....wait! If you have read the spoilers, wait till you've seen the ending. It's close to perfect.
They're at the bottom for me now as they signaled the beginning of the end.
CR should stay as my favorite Bond film. If NTTD hurts to watch as much as it sounds, I’m just going to want to think of this era as the first three films.
So why bother even.
This is clearly a one in a lifetime scenario.
Wowzer. That bad huh?
Exactly. So far a lot of the movie critics who were there said the movie was great. Im going into next week with a positive mindset.
It's ironic, people were hoping NTTD could redeem SP but now, for some, I'm sure this is the proverbial nail.
Could you give an example of the silliness? I thought SP really started to go down that road too much for my taste. Falling on the couch, the goofy sound made during the helicopter fight, the car chase, “Mickey Mouse” etc.
Nothing new there.
Let's just hope that when James Bond returns he'll return to a more traditional, non-subversive form, without being rogue, having personal angles revenge themes, without saying "do I look like I give a damn", or "we don't go for that sort of thing these days", or whatever.
It worked brilliantly for Craig, I must say. But let's move now into more familiar ground, shall we? For the next one, I mean.
Then again, who am I kidding. They'll say if it works once it'll work again, and keep making the same stuff, won't they?
That being said, NTTD can still be a brilliant film, contained in DC's narrative.
It's like a friend's episode: "The one with
So don't fret about it and go watch the bloody thing, so they'll have the money to do the next one you'll probably like.
But I was under the impression this all tenure was about "subversion for subversion sake" :D
What were we really expecting?
I, for one, won't be taken aback by this, and will try to enjoy the film as what it is.
Every scene with David Dencik feels like a deleted scene from a Roger Moore-era film. Also, the Independent critic is correct in saying the plot's core premise of a biological weapon of mass destruction is "generic spy nonsense." They were my two biggest issues with the film. Along with some wonky script work in the second act.
I cannot fault the opening or third act. As I've mentioned, close to perfect. However, NTTD is not CR or SF levels of perfection. Though I'm in desperate need of a rewatch pronto!
Yeah sure. They will kill off every other future Bond on their last picture. Come on.
A question for who has seen it. Why Safin has all this skin damaged? He’s really de-aging?
SMH. Watch the movie and see how this ending comes about. If it makes sense then it wouldnt be that much of a nightmare
Mind you, I won't be that idiot :D
Question: How much (percentage) of the movie would you say is slapstick? And can you elaborate on the “dangerous new technology”? Thanks
Cute.
