I didn't see any of the other 5 Bond actors bit there were a few Bond alumni there.
As for where i'd rank it, it's definitely a top 5. An argument could be made that it's the best but there's no point trying to convince Bond fans it's the best because we're a selection if people with varying degrees of tastes. I personally need to watch it again to really feel comfortable abd certain where I'd rank it but for now it's definitely a top 5 for me and all I wanted was for this film to be as good as CR....SF is better as it turns out.
What about the one liners? Please tell me there weren't too many? This cheesiness will diminish my enjoyment of the film a little but I'm really looking forward to the character movement and Bond's background history being showcased (albeit I'm sure just briefly) which I've always wanted to see in a Bond film.
Nope. None :(
You'd have thought at least Dalton or Lazenby would show up. No offense but I wouldn't have thought their schedules were particularly busy. Moore and Brosnan I could understand (Moore had his tour in Basingstoke and Brosnan was filming in Spain I later found out). It would have been a miricle if Connery had turned up.
There aren't many one liners, the thing about Craig in the film is that his performance is very good his deliveries are never 'off'. He makes it all seem so effortless like he's unbeleivably cool about it all. He's so relaxed, it’s a great art-form when it comes to acting, i think its easy for an actor to overplay. however it is even easier for an actor to give a complete non-performance in the guise of 'underplaying' the part. But here Craig is effortlessly the character, his performance is natural and never forced. So when one liners do come about they fit nicely. theres the inevitable scene when his signature gun gets turned on him and Bond says 'good luck with that' and it could have been forced and cheesy had Moore said it back in the day but here it works very well.
Personally, I wouldn't worry too much. My advice would be, go see the film. Judge it for yourself. Don't have too many expectations.
Regarding the humour, there's nothing to worry about. There's enough of it there without overstaying it's welcome and it's all executed superbly. Craig is on fire! SF is a movie with so many celebratory, air-punching moments you're going to wish Craig could be Bond forever.
Also on another note, regarding Fassbender as being a potential Bond... I found it interesting that
DC was looking rather hot my new fav actor
My son loved the whole red carpet experience got up close to DC and Judi
Very annoyed with the drunk man sitting next to me shouting foul language luckily when the film came on he fell asleep and woke up at the end!
great night ;;)
Possibly the most depressing article I have ever seen.
For the true fans it was practically impossible to get a ticket but scroll down and just look at how many non-entities had no trouble getting on the red carpet. This is an A-list premiere not the sodding TV Quick Awards. Its frankly scandalous how these tickets are allocated.
In terms of the film, apart from the crushing disappointment of the opening second which had me seething for the first 2 minutes of the film (although it kind of made sense in the end I suppose), bloody good.
Better than QOS? Indubitably.
Better than CR? Hmm. Certainly holds together better whereas CR is split into two distinct halves.
Its easily better than any of the Brosnan and Moore films - although its horses for courses; if you just want an easy sunday afternoons entertainment you will still always plump for MR, OP or GE over SF.
Its better than LTK certainly and probably just shades TLD.
Its difficult to gauge the Connerys as with a span of 50 years they hardly seem from the same series but probably the only serious competition is FRWL and maybe GF.
Better than OHMSS though? I need another few watches but I doubt it.
Its certainly got a very strong claim for top 5 though and they need to get working on Bond 24 ASAP as we need as many as we can before he gets too old because he nails it in this one.
Absabloodyexactly!
U have a great evening thou wizard?
What are your thoughts on the film spoiler free?
Yeah, I'm going to check it out this Saturday.
"Very annoyed with the drunk man sitting next to me shouting foul language luckily when the film came on he fell asleep and woke up at the end!"
LOL.
My thoughts exactly. I came out feeling if Dan can pull off another two at this level and push the character arc that seems to be developing then he'll have a shout for best tenure imo.
nice pics mate
Exactly. I've been a fan for 25 years and I couldn't get tickets but Tamara sodding Eccleston gets to go!
Won't top Dalton though ;)
Here you go.
At first the pictures start out really good, but the further down you get, it turns into a train wreck.
:))
This is why I had mentioned earlier somewhere that Bond fans are the hardest to convince in terms of favorite Bond actor, movie or era because we're so profoundly attached to our choices in a way that critics or the GA aren't.
Connery has always been my favorite and I'd like to think that I've always had a good enough reason to blindly dismiss any other actor as topping him but after last night, I got really worried because I think Craig may have just moved from my number 2 to being my number 1 and I now feel like an infidel.
He's been my favourite since I was 5 so if Craig manages to overtake him I'll be really suprised. But I suppose stranger things have happened.
If I had to be really honest with myself and this isn't hyperbole btw, I'd probably say that Craig in SF delivered the best Bond performance ever and should be my number 1 Bond but another side of me doesn't want to accept what I consider to be such a drastic change and can't comprehend how last night, Craig, in the space of 2hrs and 20 odd minutes is now going to change an opinion I've had and never wavered on for the past 22 years.
Cheers. Shame there couldn't be more actual Bond fans there. I overheard a few people in the queue for drinks getting their facts wrong about CR and QoS and had mild palpitations.
