Agreed..
?
I have no idea where this strange notion came from that QoS doesn´t have a lot of great stunts.
Don't know. I really liked it. Depending how it is used, I think it would work beautifully in the movie itself.
wow! thanks for the video! never seen it before. Very interesting.
Well, because they were so badly filmed and edited that you didn't realize they were great. When you can't follow the action, it doesn't matter if the stunt arrangers and stuntmen did their best work or not.
QoS isn't "badly" edited. It was a creative decision (unfortunately) to go for the same style as the last Bourne movie, which also were made in a shaky cam/blink and you missed it style.

I would say that any film where you can't tell what's going on during the action is badly edited. It may have been a creative decision - it definitely was, I realize that - but it doesn't change the fact that the editing is bad.

“Spectre” shook-up the DAR-Film leaderboard with nearly 16 million engagements thanks to Bond fans around the world. A new trailer was launched less than 24 hours following the announcement of international and domestic release dates, allowing initial announcement buzz to translate to viewership. With film stills released later in the week, “Spectre” was top of mind all week long.
Not just the car chase but the whole pacing of the movie. In the first 30 mins there are four big action scenes but we don't know anything about the people in them or their motivations so ultimately, we don't care.
Bond says. "The dams will have to come down ". Oh great so we don't get to see that either. It's like like skywalker saying "the Death Star will have to go' then cutting to the medal ceremony.
I completely agree @Matt007
dubbed herself though.
For me "bad" translates to "not doing his job properly", and that's not the case. You can either like or dislike the style, that's all.
Wasn't sure. Its strange that a French actress wouldn't dub her own voice in French in an English language film. I wonder if she will dub her own voice for the final release.
Maybe she can't do it.
The dubbing-job is very hard.
By the way: Arnold Schwarzenegger never dubbed himself in german. And there are some other actors that wouldn't do their own voice in their mother language.
Mostly it's because they sound like shit when they can't do it right.
Diane Kruger for example voices all her english charakters in german, but does it in a really bad way.
When you use 'also' and shaky cam, you are going WAY off-target. Schaefer specifically did NOT use shaky cam (I interviewed him about the film way way back), he wanted to stay completely away from BOURNE stylistically.
Now what is done with the editing is its own thing, and for the most part hurts things, but don't confuse the editing and the cinematography. You freeze frame on a lot of QUANTUM and you see some really nice frames, terrific compositions and lighting, but editorially it all goes by impressionistically.
The whole cheat-deal with the Bourne films (from what little I've seen; I dozed through the first one and have only seen bits of the Greengrass ones, which seems to employ shakeycam as excessively as JJ Abrams misuses len flares) is that they don't achieve any actual action to completion on the set, so they HAVE to do the overcutting to give the impression of an action (sort of a total reverse from THE MATRIX.) I remember the first BOURNE having a sequence where he freeclimbs a building wall, and it is entirely achieved editorially (and it was not much of an achievement IMO.)
It's like people learned Peter Hunt tricks, then misused the crap out of them.
