James Bond In Skyfall - - Part 11

[obin_gam]

There we go, all set now for dinner and then Bond with my mates!

Spoiler

To go to a Bond movie without a suit is nothing but "epic fail"

 

[Two-Face]

Dissapointed. Berenice beautiful, Shanghai scenes hypnotic, action so-so and Bardem wants to be something special but... he's not. Plus that climax is absolutely stupid. CR and QoS are better. 6/10

You're entitled to your opinion but no way QOS is better than Skyfall. Best Bond Craig film yet next to CR. I loved it action, acting was just superb but I agree Bardem was weak link here. I didn't like him as a villain. 9/10

 

[Dark Knight]

Purvis and Wade are out!!! John Logan is back for Bond 24!!!

Lovely! Glad Purvis and Wade are slowly becoming squeezed out ahead of better screenplay writers. Love seeing Logan take on the lead story and screenplay duties for the next film.

I think the next director is going to be Mendes again or perhaps Nolan.

It is inevitable that Chris Nolan directs a Bond film in the future.

 

[Dark Knight]

How about Elba as a Bond baddie?

Elba would be great as a Bond baddie.

I haven't seen skyfall so I don't have much to say but its hard to believe that QoS was better.

The best thing about Logan is that he loves Blofeld and has stated he should be back to some capacity.

 

[PWN3R]

I've tried them all, they say they've already been entered.

Some lurker must have snatched them. I'm sorry. Hopefully it was a registered user and not some sneaky sneak.

Sure enough it rang up 9.99

 

[Doc Ock]

For some reason I though Wal-Mart had all the Blu-Rays exclusively.

 

[Mr.?]

Elba would be great as a Bond baddie.

Hell yeah he would, anyone that has watched The Wire would know that.

 

[Sharkboy]

Wouf...one of the best times I've had in the cinema, the crowd i was with went crazy every 10-15 minutes. Easily one of the best bonds ever, if Casino Royale shook up the formula, Skyfall takes a sledgehammer to it...yet strangely it still manages to be the only bond film that isn't ashamed or condenscending towards it's past, it doesn't dilute 50 years into shameless winks and nudges...it injects the history into it's veins, the bond feel and tone is rampant throughout the whole film, it may be a completely different type of Bond film but the old feelings are still there, much more effective than Die Another Day which just slammed a modern version of an old bond trope in your face every 20 minutes.

I can also say that Craig is now officially my favourite bond, only he can mix parts of Dalton/Connery and Moore in one performance and still not manage to feel wholly derivative, he makes it his own. Also interesting to note is how a Bond film has finally stopped that annoying structure of basically stringing together spectacular action pieces with a mostly empty story on top. The plot in skyfall is basic, some might say it's thin, but most of the meat is entirely in the subtext and character depth and it makes every action scene that much more frightening, thrilling and intense. It's one thing to know whats at stake and see someone fight for it, but to truly believe and feel for what the protagonist is trying to fight for/protect elevates the action to a whole 'nother level, and I fear some of the more "rigid and traditional" bond fans won't be able to grasp that after 50 years of superficiality.

Overall, i can confidently say it's in my top 5, if not maybe one day i'll be confident to say it's my number one...but as it stands in my eyes, a die hard fan of both the books and films. This is the Bond I want and wish for and I'm glad I got.

Believe the hype.

Wouldn't it be crazy if the reason why Matthew Vaughn dropped out of X-Men was for Bond 24 with his buddy Daniel Craig.

Honestly I wouldn't mind this at all. If they continue to get great directors with strong visions, then im all for it. Still bummed over him dropping out of X-men though.

I'm bummed too though my theory makes sense. I was thinking he would be great for Bond but he would've been in middle of post-production of his X-Men. I think that's why the later Bros sequel.

But we need real talent, I agree. The Brosnan Bond movies failed: due to the hiring of average no-name directors. I think the later Moore movies got stale because if John Glenn.

 

[Octoberist]

John Logan isn't just writing Bond 24, but Bond 25 too with an over arching storyline.

[nite-owl]

I had no idea Albert Finney was in the movie until I saw his name in the credits.

 

[jacobed]

Just got done watching Goldfinger. Wow that Oddjob/Bond fight at the end is one of the worst I've ever seen.

 

[regwec]

Hah! It is pretty dated. I love Oddjob, though. He's a very convincing little hardass, and the cheat-iest character to play on the N64's "GoldenEye".

 

[protocida]

If Bond 24 and Bond 25 are filmed back-to-back, Craig's run could end as early as next year. Which I guess explains why potential replacements like Idris Elba and Michael Fassbender are already being discussed by the producers.

 

[regwec]

Remember when Angelina Jolie was touted as the next Bond? That was also stupid.

 

[protocida]

I don't remember that.

And very different strokes, aren't there?

 

[regwec]

Of course, but casting calls for 007 invite eccentricity. He is probably one of the most iconic figures in world fiction, so people just tend to suggest grafting whichever actor they like on to the role.

 

[protocida]

But this is different. An actor linked to the movie confirmed meetings with Elba, and Fassbender has been mentioned several times as well.

 

[regwec]

Well, we'll see. I am not particularly enthused about either. I would rather have someone less established, like Craig was before Casino Royale.

 

[747]

Need. Fassbender. As. Bond.
