Completely disagree with this. In fact I find Harris too sexy to be Moneypenny and the shaving scene too good.
I think the decider is whether you instinctively smile yourself during those scenes. If you do they work, if they don't then they fail. Simple as. For me...on the whole...they worked.
Q is one of the things I absolutely hate in SF, a total incompetent imbecile.
I may have expressed myself poorly. What I was getting at is that if a character does something along the same lines in a modern film, moviegoers almost everywhere would cry foul. It's a bit like how today, old movies in which Caucasian actors where 'black face' makeup to play dark skinned people is frowned upon. Is that a little clearer?
In future, Severine will be the main reason fans remember SF fondly.
A striking resemblance to this warrior woman:
Neither is a terribly good actress.
I agree that Samantha Bond had great chemistry with Brosnan but it wasn't that hard as her material was infinitely more engaging than Bliss'. Also, Samantha Bond's MP in GE was fantastic. Had she stayed on that wavelength her tenure as MP would have been far better received by me bur from TND onwards, she became highly irritating.
You make fair comments. There is a little part of me that still bristles when Bond goes through the procedure, but I guess that's something I can't help much. I can't help but think that if YOLT is remade today that wouldn't make it into the movie, but that is hypothetical and can't be proven.
:))
I thought she was good all the way through, but her last line:
(After John Cleese catches her on the simulator)
"That's rather hard isn't it?"
"Yes...very"
Urgh.
QOS and Skyfall both are a mess script wise. Even CR's writing is awkward towards the end of the movie.
TWINE was better written than SF which is practically a remake of TWINE.
I'm only talking script here and not execution! Of course SF is superior to TWINE for instance.
Samantha Bond was decent casting in the Lois Maxwell mould. She did have good chemistry with Brosnan as well.
Naomi Harris however seems a bit lost as MP. I'm not sure she particularly likes playing the role. She is also strangely wooden. If they wanted a young(ish) black British actress i am sure there were other, more enthusiastic and more talented options.
Has anyone else noticed the awful dialogue Harris has to deliver in the SP trailer? I.e. "There's something you can't tell anyone because you don't trust anyone?" The repetition of 'anyone' just sounds really odd. And Harris just seems to be dialling it in IMO.
My only hope is that both will have like 1 minute of screen time.
I did like Harris getting cast as Moneypenny in SF by the way, she was one of the good things in that movie, but I can't see where the writer's want to go with her.
Not sure how you conclude that.
I agree. Neither worked particularly well for me in SF, but then nothing worked very well for me in that lumbering behemoth of a disappointment.
Yes, I noticed that too. Hopefully with a bit of context it shall be alright. Harris sucks at expository lines I find.
Yes. But it's understandable with lines that poorly written. I actually can't believe that particular piece of clunkiness wasn't picked up in rehearsals. It would have been very easy to fix, but somehow ends up in the trailer.
You're right though - her delivery is also awful.
