Interesting, yes.
Spot on!
|Absolutely agree.
So glad you enjoyed it! I really did, too. They did it right. The acting is superb all around. I do hope Daniel gets nominated for several awards for this one. He deserves it. I hope you can see it again soon. It is special and Craig's films do fit in a special place in the Bond films' history.
You said it. Saw both SF and SP twice in the theatre with my son, so this shouldn t be any different.
Tell me about it. I feel so pissed off at the ending that it has actually put me off the Craig era entirely, even CR that I love.
Watching that depressing garbage made me want to stick on something light hearted like Moonraker, just to cleanse my soul.
Other than the poisonous garden, what other significant Fleming material are you referring to? Bond having a daughter? The words on Bond's death read at the end? Bond saying `Die Blofeld, die?'
Other than those fleeting moments, I'm struggling to find any significant Fleming material.
I do. I am shocked at how upset I am. I guess that I’ve grown up with Bond as a massive constant. He’s always been there as something to cheer me up when I was down. I genuinely don’t remember a low with one of the films until now. It’s nearly 24 hours since I saw the film and I can’t get over it.
Me neither. I don't think I will bring myself to ever watch this film again. I actually think its the worst in the Craig series. Even SP is a more enjoyable film now, in comparison.
I felt similar to this and felt like putting on TND instead of Moonraker lol but give the film another viewing.
Funnily enough, I HAVE seen that, it was actually on my mind while writing the previous comment... the infinite fuse on the pen is one of the Bond nitpicks that has bothered me since I was a kid :)) :))
Yes, same here. It could have been Craig's best, even with all the plot holes. But with that ending it's absolutely ridiculous. How on earth could EON want that for "their" character? I could come up with 3 different endings better than just killing of Bond in that cheap and easy way.
Exactly. It will be fascinating to see where EON go with the franchise now. No female Bond please.
Isn t that enough?
They'll simply start again with a clean slate, rather like the various Batman films have done.
I do. Still can’t believe it. Don’t want to believe it. The franchise will lose fans with this movie. There is pushing the envelope, and there is burning it. This is the latter.
Of course not. Silly question.
Significant material would be adapting entire scenes and chapters, not a blink-and-you-miss-it nod.
Think TLD entire short story, or the LALD scenes in LTK. That is significant unused Fleming material. Not Bond whispering `Die Blofeld.'
I was thinking first and foremost of the Poison garden, and by significant I didnt mean it took up most of the film, which it obviously didn t . It wasn t a blink and you miss it moment exactly, either.
Had they gone the whole way and used the entire ending to YOLT, then yes it would have been significant. Having a garden with poisonous plants in it is nothing more than a brief, subtle nod to the books.
