Its obvious CGI because no one in their right mind except maybe Jackie Chan would do something so dangerous.
Sorry just my opinion.
I'm starting to think Craig is a walking contradiction...
First he says "at this time no" he doesn't want to do another one.
Then he says he's contracted for one more and he'll keep going as long as he's physically able.
Now he says "people want an answer and I don't have one".
I wish he'd just come out and say if he'll be back for Bond 25 or not. Please stop keeping die hard fans like me in suspense! I absolutely love Craig as James Bond and can't fathom him being replaced, at least not yet. If he does AT LEAST one more movie I'll be more than satisfied. But please don't walk after SPECTRE.
Will have a butchers at the HD. I'm sure you're correct. In hindsight it makes sense.
if you look at the chronological order (date) ... his answers were as follows:
First he says "at this time no" he doesn't want to do another one.
Then he says "people want an answer and I don't have one". - this interview is from days before the filming wrapped at the begining of July
Now he says he's contracted for one more and he'll keep going as long as he's physically able.
I do agree that "Mad Max: Fury Road" (John Seale A.S.C.), "The Revenant" (Emmanuel Lubezki A.S.C.), "Star Wars 7: The Force Awakens" (Daniel Mindel) and "Sicario" (Roger Deakins A.S.C., B.S.C.) are strong competitors in that field. But it also works the other way around. I also think Hoyte van Hoytema F.S.F, N.S.C. is really outperforming himself based on what I saw from the trailers. Probably.....Roger Deakins finally wins it. But so far DoP's like Daniel Mindel and Hoyte van Hoytema haven't won any big prize yet.
Anyway, judge yourself:
One more thing. While I said myself that van Hoytema seems to be a perfect follow-up to Roger Deakins, he creates an atmosphere for "SPECTRE" that's entirely different from "SkyFall". While both films amaze us with wonderful wide shots and aerial landscape shots, they both 'feel' entirely different.

EDIT: Just checked and it has some of the videos but isn't as comprehensive as your list. I'll just bookmark this page.
Looks epic!!! So cant wait to be sat in that movie theater!!!! :-bd
Additionally, teasers and trailers aren't really for us in the first place. They're designed to be put in front of other films, and on television to get people interested in the film, IMO they're not really designed for people who are already really excited about the film. This is all in my opinion, of course.
I don't know, I've been having these thoughts leading up to the announcement of Spectre that made me decide to not watch anything. I was just wondering if anyone else had similar thoughts. Is anybody out there worried they'll be thinking "ah yes, saw that in the trailer" every 20 minutes when they're finally in the theatre?
Want to know what people think.
For whatever reason I'm not putting to much stock into those comments. I read what you read as well. Even if what was said is 100% true it's such a small piece of the puzzle of a cinematic Bond experience that I can't let it bother me too much, but of course, I understand why it's frustrating.
Edit in an effort to clarify what I mean: Bond films have always been 100% about the journey. The ending to a Bond film in the case of the last 24 films has never been some enormous revelation or anything, with the exception of maybe Skyfall, and OHMSS. Of course its frustrating when someone discusses what may or may not be the factual plot points of a film before we've seen it, I'd hate for people to think that it's all been ruined because of reading something they didn't want to know. I hope this all makes sense.
I don't think it's all been a waste or totally in vain @andmcit, and I know you're going to enjoy those great seats come the 26th :)
Also, does anyone have any ideas when will we see some clips from the movie?
I see extra snippets of the story suggested in the stills on this page that I hadn't really expected but of course I'm on a thread where things in the public domain are being shared so it's at my risk I'm here and I see them - there's a point where I can't keep a complete news blackout as I really love Bond!
It's a done deal as far as getting everyone here to see SP as you say - at any other time anything and everything Bond will be avidly devoured and picked apart in great detail in discussion here so looking for anything SP is largely going to be second nature for many and won't trouble their viewing of the new film.
With future Bonds I have always wanted to stay as much out of the loop to keep an element of wonder as the story unfolds = I tread a quite difficult line!! I imagine it's going to be a bit gutting for you and others seeing their first showing on the 6th Nov where many have already seen SP and are deep in discussion about it. I can see that being far more difficult than what I'm aiming to do!! Best of luck with that one!! :D

Hmmm. Bit of a worry. Same length as SF but SP seems to have a hell of a lot more action. I was happy with the action to non action ratio is Skyfall which means this movie will most likely have too much for my liking. What a pity. Still, when it comes to modern Bond films I know never to get my hopes up too much.
I'm confused. So, at this point we don't even know if Craig will do Bond 25? I really hope he does at least 5. It just seems like a well rounded amount. I would never get my hopes up regarding him doing Bond 26 (I would love it) but just one more for Craig would be really good and seems realistic.
Well, CR is 1 minute longer or shorter than SF and had more and better engaging action than SF without compromising on the non action scenes. I think SP will definitely handle the quality and frequency of action better than SF without it coming off as hollow action porn.
It's just that too much of anything, no matter how good it is, for me, is overkill. It hinders my enjoyment of the film. CR had a bit too much action and I would have liked the film more if it had have had less. SF had a good balance for a Bond film at least. Funnily enough, I do like CR better than SF. It only had slightly more action than SF though and was an expanded adaptation of a wonderful Fleming book. They messed up CR with the dull sinking building scene where they should have expanded on Bond's romance with Vesper instead.
Nice response to reassure too much worry.
Seriously people don't seek things to worry about.
Oh my God is the movie saturated with
so much yellow that we can't see it?...
Or is there so much CGI that it will look like Cars 3 or DAD?...
Or is it so long that we'll have to spend the night?...
Or is Sam Smith actually singing the theme?...
Oh crap! Forgot that.....
:-w
The abundance of action issue in contemporary Bond films is an entirely relevant one. With the exception of Skyfall and to a lesser extent Casino Royale (this film still was a tad too action heavy but was a masterpiece following the idiotic Brosnan era), the Bond films have suffered from this since Goldeneye. It was the catastrophic Brosnan era, the Bond movies that are a disgrace to the franchise that kicked this all off. The healthy, sane balance sadly ended with License To Kill.
A big part of the reason the Brosnan Bond films did so well is due to the fact that this is James Bond, a franchise that has endured for so many years and has changed with the times and because Bond is such a household name that many will run along to the cinema to check out the latest installment regardless of the reviews. It's lucky they changed things up post DAD, otherwise the franchise may very well have met it's death. Fortunately for them now, they have talented actors and directors behind them to keep the series alive but if they are going to sacrifice story and character development with mindless action then they will eventually take a nose dive down the toilet. Fortunately they have the sense to return to basics every few films and save themselves but not without ruining one's enjoyment of a few Bond films along the way. Aside for the ridiculously embarrassing Brosnan era, QOS is the worst Bond film in the franchise - non stop action with very little story. An absolute mess of a movie. Then they redeemed themselves with SF. Regardless of whether SP is a good film or not it will still do well at the box office as it's Bond. Let's see what happens next...
Enjoy SPECTRE and let's hope I'm wrong in my fears (maybe the action scenes will be on the shorter side). :) Unfortunately I wasn't in the run up to QOS.
Thank you. Someone had to say it.
IMDB now states the movie runs 150 mins. And earlier there were already reports the movie was going to be 147 mins. So I guess we need to focus on these possible running times. Just 3 mins longer than "CR" perhaps.
