It is literally the joke twist ending in Austin Powers

when a guy gets kicked out of a helicopter I want to see some fucking guts splattering.

Why? I mean, your'e free not to like it, but why is it quote-unquote stupid.

>>62679171
Because it was a cold open and if you fail at those in a Bond movie you just need to give up as a director.

Biggest gripe for me:

The arch villain gives a diabolical tortue speech about drilling into your head and fucking up your brain. Okay? Simple enough. He then proceeds to drill into Bond's head twice with ZERO SIDE EFFECTS. What. The. Fuck.
>>
>>62678926

Even one of my pleb housemates was complaining how bad it was. I didn't think they could get even worse than Skyfall or Quantum of Solace, but apparently they did.

I just got back from it and although my expectations weren't high it's the worst movie going experience I've had in a long time. Craig is a 50 year old sleepwalking through the whole thing. Waltz is completely wasted. The tone is all over the place. The action set pieces are insultingly bad (the plane-car chase might be one of the stupidest things I've ever seen) The plot is nonexistent. There are no gadgets. Bond is an asshole. He makes both love interests cry before he fucks them. I probably should keep venting to get it out of my system but it was also TWO AND A HALF FUCKING HOURS LONG and I'm exhausted.
>>
>>62679752
>There are no gadgets

Uhm, yeah there are
>>
>>62679403
How about the fact that Bautista tries to kill them on the way to the base, then he doesn't, then they wait for hours, then they drive him out to the base, then they knock him out, then they torture him, then Bond uses a watch bomb that he knows nothing about how it works to escape, then they literally walk out of the impenetrable base and are only shot at by five people and don't even come close to being shot or take cover, then they blow it up, then Blowfield survives, then there's ANOTHER FUCKING 45 MINUTES OF THE MOVIE AFTER THAT

It's the stupidest fucking thing I've seen in theaters in a long time
>>
>>62679777
Oh yeah there's one watch that explodes and a car with an eject button. I changed my mind classic Bond.
>>
>>62679280
was it edited to look like a tracking shot? i didn't notice the cuts and was genuinely impressed
>>
>>62679752
>He makes both love interests cry before he fucks them.

I am by no means a feminism or a SJW of any kind, but the seduction scene with Monica Bellucci was just fucking creepy.
>>
>>62678926
The worst part is the twist added absolutely nothing to the movie and shoehorned in more Bond backstory, because that's what everyone loves about the Bond movies, figuring out Bond's backstory. I'm so glad we finally found out how he spent two winters after his parents died. God I am so fucking pissed fuck this movie.

I love the faux outrage you people have over this bond.

Face it, it was amazingly well put together and a great watch. 2nd best Craig bond after Casino Royal

Craig looks like a bodyguard or a villain, he shouldn't play Bond. Black Bond is wrong, but so is Craig-Bond.

good looking white man with black hair, that's James Bond.

>>62679171
I loved it because it was one long tracking shot.

The movie was okay. I thought it was too much like Skyfall. Like Skyfall 2.0...
>>
>>62680841
I was as close as I've ever been to walking out. I even hated the opening I don't get why it's being singled out at all.
>>
>>62679372
Because it's the generic, cliche, 'twist' that every piece of fiction uses when they can't think of anything. Plus, there's no buildup, no hinting, no foreshadowing, no backstory that ever hints Bond ever had a brother, so it's clearly just a lazy, last minute addition to add fake gravity.

top kekkerinos
>>
>>62680916
The opening was interesting and very Bond-like in my opinion until he got to the actual meeting and set up his gun and microphone.
>>
Very good flick. You probably had bizarre expectations for this kind of movie.
Plot is contrived and characters have either nonexistent or moronic motivations (villain literally doesn't talk about anything but some daddy issues).

Still enjoyable. Intro in Mexico is goat.
The part in Tangiers is completely useless though. It could have been scraped entirely but changing two lines of dialogue and the movie would have been 15 minutes shorter and more focused, but this sequence feels like random feeler about le globe trotting gentleman.
>>
>>62680900
Henry Cavill isn't allowed to play Bond though.
>>
>>62680970
Maybe but then he murders half a city block followed by one of the dumbest helicopter sequences put to film.
>>
I never watch Bond-movies at the theatre anyway. It's a TV-thing for me, will watch this in a few years.
>>
>>62681013
This. And we won't get an UNCLE sequel. Now that was a good spy movie.
>>
>>62680881
Both chase scenes were incredibly dull. The chase scene in Rome could have easily been confused with just two rich guys commuting to work. The car just follows Bond as he does weightless, showy car maneuvers.

This will be the contrarians pick for best Bond of all time, and I will get baited everytime.
>>
>>62681012
Nope I expected a Bond movie, not a dour exercise in how to suck the fun out of everything and not give a shit about making quality entertainment.
>>
>>62681034
Yeah, I'm trying to explain why the car chase didn't work for me. I think it's because they didn't even interact with each other at all. They just sort of stayed equidistant from each other the entire time. So fucking disappointed with that sequence. I was expecting a Die Another Day-tier car battle where they each had a couple gadgets. What I got was the two drivers not even scraping paint intermixed with tons of light-hearted and comedic moments. The tone was all over the fucking place.
>>
>>62681020
haha you're so cool :)
>>
>>62681058
Remember when Bond killed that woman's husband, stalked her at his funeral, broke into her house, and had sex with her while she was crying because she was sure that either Bond or other assassins were going to kill her at any moment?

Talk about a suave and charming guy.
>>
>>62681090
I thought the car chase scene was fucking Ronin compared to the plane/car chase scene. Fuck this movie.
>>
The opening scene was the best. The one long shot, I loved that.

I hated the helicopter shit. I mean there is a huge crowd and Bond can kill a lot of them.

I can't remember everything kek, but the non removal of gadgets at the torture scene was stupid. Also, the torture chair's shit unlocking. And him surviving the big explosion (which I found stupid also, not sure what happened, was it an underground oil pipeline or something? what the fuck)... Did he escape in an instant underground elevator?

I think he should have been killed because yeah, now he will get rescued by his homies again. But on the other hand, it hurts him to see James finally walk away with his Bondgirl.
>>
>>62681132
Also, Monica could have been left out... what the fuck.

She is hot as fuck, I mean, who doesn't want to be Craig for that single scene?
>>
>>62681090
It's weird, it's as if they're afraid of making bond too campy and showy, so they got rid of all the fun parts which would have made a great chase scene, but refused to actually replace the campiness with something.

Must Bonds hit a sort of balance between fun (moonraker) and grit (licence), this movie refused to have either.
>>
>>62681016
Atleast it was somewhat fun. After that, the whole life was sucked right out of the movie. That fucking absolutely horrible snoozy car "chase" with batista... I have to say, tom cruise with his crazy running around and masks makes a 10 times better spy action movie than bond.
>>
>>62681028
What makes a good spy movie?
>>
>>62681218
It was all over the fucking place. You had a man killing himself and Bond nearly raping a grieving widow on one end and the old italian guy crashing and the silly ass board meeting on the other. No wonder Craig would rather slit his wrists than continue playing Bond.

I wish you would stop shitposting from time to time and save me trouble...

The movie is decent to very good tier. It is actually excellent up until the middle. I'd say Batista dying was the turning point, still good after that, but dragged a bit too much.

The mandatory car chase was entertaining, the fight on the train was 10/10, Batista is a nod to classic Bond villain henchmen, the villain was NOT overdone, a very good performance in the best classic Bond style that has been lacking in the last movies. The Bond girls were ok. Cinematography and film locations were all good, as it should be in Bond movies.

Better than the last two by far, especially that water conspiracy abortion. Still not as good as Casino Royale.

There are 2 problems with this reboot and Sam Mendes in particular.

>1 - Creating an overall storyline

Which is fine, but you've got to plan ahead. Really? were the three previous movies just to mess with Bonds head? Deplete a countries water source to fuck with your adopted brother?

>2 - Ever mission has to have personal stakes

Which is also fine but it has to make sense. Bond can fall in love with Vesper, sure. Bond also had to grow somewhere, why not visit his old house?
In this movie though, Bond quits MI6 for a woman he only has had a few awkward conversations with.
Also, Blofeld is his fucking stepbrother. And that's fucking insane.


So I'd say, personal stakes and an overall storyline is great but don't go overboard with it. Mendes.
>>
>>62681542
Do you think Mendes hates himself for making these movies or is he laughing all the way to the bank?

ty for warning implying i'd bother with it anyway
>>
>>62681500
I started with Dr. No and From Russia With Love actually.
I only watched Moonraker for Jaws' girlfriend.

I don't think there's anything bad/wrong about Dr. No and From Russia With Love, I just wasn't a fan of them (though I loved FRWL's opening credits).
The other day I started watching The Living Daylights, it's better, but I'm still a little bored.
>>
>>62679752
>>62680022

I'm recently rewatching them all and one thing that stuck out in Goldfinger was that Bond pretty much rapes the main pilot woman in the stables.

Like, seriously. He's only recently introduced to her, she resists and hits him, he pushes her down and overcomes her and then she just gives up and they fuck.

And then, far from wanting nothing to do with him, she betrays the plan over to Bond and the Americans and helps them foil it.

Bond's "seduction skills" are second to none.

It's a product of the times. Movies were naturally paced more slowly.

I find Dalton the most underrated bond, though. Good choice.
>>
>>62681642

Actually, I just found the scene and there's no hitting but they throw and trip each-other around and then he just goes on top of her and forces the kiss that makes her give up. But apparently that's fine because it has a super light and playful score in the background.

Honestly, if it had no music or some really basic stuff without light strings then it would come across as a plain sexual assault/rape scene.
>>
>>62681718
I wanted to start with Dalton because I love 80's movies, but thought it'd be better to go in chronological order.
>>
>>62681795
Basically if you've seen one Connery Bond you've seen em all. They're all good, but they have the exact same feel. Moore Bond should be watched the same way a Batman fan would watch Adam West Batman. Brosnan and Craig are both extremely hit or miss. Dalton's movies are good, but polarizing. I loved them.
>>
>>62681887
After I finished Moonraker I thought about everything I disliked about it, and began to (in my head) plan out and write my own Bond trilogy.
It's too bad I'll never get to make it.

I should probably finish The Living Daylights (or Blue Velvet), but I think I'm gonna watch The Man From Uncle instead.
>>
>>62681613

If you don't enjoy FRWL, Dr. No or The Living Daylights I'm afraid that it's probably just the case that Bond films aren't for you.

The essentials are broadly agreed as those (TLD because of Dalton's Bond), Goldfinger, Thunderball (though this is let down by its pacing and underwater scenes), You Only Live Twice and Goldeneye probably, and I can't think how you'd particularly enjoy any of them if you don't like FRWL.

Dr. No is quirky but sets up expectations for Connery quite well, and From Russia With Love is just brilliant.
>>
>>62680747

The stuff about there being a secret criminal empire was WAY better in Quantum than in Spectre.
>>
>>62682020
I have a feeling that I'm going to love Licence to Kill, but I could be wrong.
And I don't remember disliking The Living Daylights, I think I was just tired and fell asleep.

What is it that you all love about Bond movies anyway?

James Bond has never been as violent as Rambo.

>>
>>62682109

I think it's a combination of the spy genre, action sequences, humour, the character itself and the reflection of the world at the time of each film.

A fair few of the films are hit and miss, and even as a fan of the series I'd say there's a couple that aren't worth watching if you're going to go to the trouble of go all the way back (Diamonds Are Forever and Moonraker).

Some of the good ones find a really good balance between the tension of the espionage and fighting and the down-time of the humour and conversation bits. The action has always been not particularly great on any large scale, but for most of them it really only kicks off when the story's being wrapped up or there's key scenes. The train scenes in From Russia With Love sum it up quite well, I think - though since there's so many directors throughout the films it's a bit hard to apply any general ideas to all of them.

I suppose in some way, the stories are designed in such a way that observing the character so personally in their actions and life is not only quite natural to the audience but fits Bond ideally. He's a government assassin, essentially just a tool to be used, and he's never been a particularly fleshed out emotional character for the audience to care too deeply about him beyond being a protagonist (disregarding the couple of emotional Bond films).

DAF is an awful Bond film, it feels like the writers and directors all got coked up and decided on a whim to make the next one in Vegas, and once they arrived they realised they had to make all the shit up and start worrying about it before shooting. I honestly consider it second to Moonraker.
>>
Ok I've heard a lot of people complaining about the Blofeld reveal and it's really pissing me off.

The name Ernst Stavro Blofeld has held absolutely no significance to anyone in the plot. No one has ever heard the name. Why do people (especially critics) expect everyone to be surprised? While I do think the step brother thing is kind of stupid, come on. People are looking for reasons to dislike this film
>>
>>62682451

Oh god, yeah, the pop culture references and things like the fucking slide whistle jump in The Man with the Golden Gun are just cringe, they really stand out nowadays and are obviously just attempts to make sure that they films get low brow enough to entertain families.

Don't get me wrong, I love campy scenes, but those were too over-the-top. I feel like Spectre did most of the gags well.

>>62682479
>the connection to Bond was a pretty cool twist.
I think it's way too far fetched.

>Ok I've heard a lot of people complaining about the Blofeld reveal and it's really pissing me off.
I don't even understand what they're complaining about. In the movie it's not even treated like a reveal, he just says his name. If you're a fan of the series it's cool but within the film's world it means nothing and is treated as such.

License to Kill is a really dark James Bond movie so if you like that end of the spectrum then there you go.

Things I love in a good James Bond movie:
>The confidence and skill of the character, yet balanced with him being just a normal human being and not a superhero
>Crazy gadgets even though they all conveniently get used in the perfect situation
>The juxtaposition of Bond being perfectly at home in either a dangerous slum or high society in some kind of social event
>>
>>62682600

Yeah, I understand.

In the old ones the campy gags seem to stand out more (I don't think it's the age, I think it's more the style of acting) and I can see why they'd make you dislike one.

In my mind when I think of the film I think predominantly of the Germany sections. The ones in India or wherever are really mixed, and the over-the-top action sequences and gags let it down. That said, though, films like You Only Live Twice have over-the-top action sequences (in the early ones I think it's safe to say that any action bit with more than a handful of actors is campy and over-the-top) and it seems to get a free pass.
>>
>>62682639

I'm pretty confident that if you rewatch it now you'll see just how bad quality it is, even for a Bond film.

If the plot wasn't so utterly bizarre
>international diamond smuggling to gather them all for a satellite to launch into space because diamonds are the best for that, btw bombe surprise :^)
then it'd be really forgettable.
>>
>>62682636
That's what's wrong, though. The people who get the reference think it's stupid because it just seems like fan-fic tier writing and the people who don't get the reference are confused why this character's name change is such a big deal.
>>
SPECTRE was pure banter

I went in expecting entertaining flick and I got it

>>
>>62683337
I guess, but there's some bizarre bits that left me stone-faced, like the whole thing in the Scottish castle.
>>
>>62683003

I'm going through them all at the moment, I slowed down a bit and I'm up to Moore's last one (can't remember the name off the top my head).

So far the only significant things I've realised is that Diamonds Are Forever stands out as the first really low quality one before Moonraker and that Moore is underrated in general.

I'm not saying Moore is an excellent Bond or anything, but the character is pretty much no different than Connery's Bond. I seriously think that the only major difference between the two (other than the change in style of the films, which really doesn't justify the criticism of Moore's acting) is the voice and appearance. People excessively criticise Moore for all sorts of things (which are valid), but Connery was honestly almost identical. If you watch all of their films together then you'll notice very little difference between the two actors other than their voice - Connery's is the refined almost-Hollywood forced English with hints of Scottish that get bigger towards the end, and Moore's is the more tonier English middle-aged middle-class gentleman.

Moore's main criticisms seem to be:

>he looked old as fuck and around much younger girls, which was creepy
when really he didn't actually look particularly aged and Connery pretty much looked just as old as his films went on

>he pulls faces and has dry humour that doesn't belong
when Connery was doing exactly the same stuff

>he cracks jokes that aren't funny and stand out
when Connery was doing exactly the same stuff

>and the quality of the story was deteriorating
which is true, but if you fault Moore for that then it's bizarre because one of the first utterly jarring and pointless wacky story points in the whole film series was Connery's jet pack escape in the opening of Thunderball.

I really think Bond fans need to rewatch the Connery and Moore ones if they keep repeating the now-mainstream "Moore was shit" stuff, because either Connery is overrated or Moore is underrated.
>>
>>62683083
She was stunning in that dress. A very nice pick for a Bond Girl. I just wish the dress and Bond's white jacket weren't just shoehorned into the movie. It was almost as if they came up with the poster for the movie first and had to write a scene for their costumes after the fact.
>>
>>62679012

Compared to what, exactly? The Bond movies have never been hard-R gorefests. Even Licence To Kill is pretty tame when you put it next to something like Rambo or Predator.

How is that a complaint? Why would you even go in expecting that?

>>62683371
That was pretty fucking weird for the sake of weirdness, yeah, and not as funny as it wanted to be. I'll give you that one. Too there was the whole implied incest between Bond and his daughter. You could tell it was making fun of how flirtatious James Bond was and how his daughter was equally so, but it was still Bond hitting on his daughter.

The chicks were qt as fuck though.

What wasn't bad though was kind of bizarrely great. You could tell five directors were fighting over scenes and that never happens.
Soundtrack was also GOAT.

You realise that Blofeld isn't personally the architect of every single SPECTRE villain and their plan, right?

I mean, sure, he was talking about all the blah blah I'm the reason all these girls are dead and you suffer, but surely you realise that the organisation itself means that all of the villains in Bond related to it are just members or consulted/consulting with it, or somehow trying to aid the organisation?

Every time SPECTRE comes up in Bond until now people seem to have had no problem in realising that the SPECTRE-related villains are still masterminds and villains unto themselves, they just have some link to the organisation?
>>
>>62683657

No, he explicitly said that he was the architect of Bond's pain (ie all the death in his life), NOT every single SPECTRE villain's plot.

I seriously don't see how there's any doubt or confusion about this.

>>62683684

I don't think either are particularly attractive desu, Connery just wore a lot more of that old-fashioned style Hollywood makeup.

>>
>>62683739
It's what his plan amounted to in the end, though.
James was just a side order. You don't built a criminal network purely out of revenge. He faked his death, became a criminal worked his way through the ranks and began targeting James.

>>62683752
>No, he explicitly said that he was the architect of Bond's pain (ie all the death in his life),

>I just happened to be in charge of an organization that killed like three of your girlfriends and your matronly boss

or

>I made sure all your girlfriends and your boss died to cause you pain because you stole my daddy from me

Which of these make more sense? The entire point of Spectre was he was fucking with Bond from the get-go. That was literally his entire plan.

>>62683820

I don't understand, you do realise what SPECTRE stands for, don't you?

Have you seen any of the other Bond films where it features?

Blofeld in Spectre does not say that every single SPECTRE plot villain was deliberately to fuck with Bond. Nor is it even suggested or implied, I can't even understand how someone could think that, it's ridiculous.

All he says is that he is the architect of Bond's pain in his life and has made sure people he care about were killed because Bond himself killed members of his organisation and damaged it.

At no point is the plot of any of the previous SPECTRE films now a Blofeld plan to just fuck over Bond.

I feel what they're trying to say is that while Blofeld did have his hand in hurting Bond directly through his career, this doesn't negate the missions of Le Chiffre, that faggot who drank oil, or Spanish Joker, who had their own ambitions and plans.
>>
>>62684018

What you're saying is correct, and we watched the same scene, but you've taken what Blofeld said and applied it wrongly to all the other SPECTRE films.

Before this:

>villain involved in SPECTRE doing nefarious shit
>Bond gets involved and destroys base and kills villain
>Blofeld: fuck you, Bond, I hate you, here's another dead girlfriend
repeat

now:

>Hey James, remember when you had all the time in the world and loved people and they got killed? That was me, because I hate you and you keep fucking over members of my organisation

This shit was obvious if you look at OHMSS, he basically just confirmed it. Blofeld hates Bond for some stupid personal daddy issues reason and sets out to hurt everyone in his life too also get revenge for him killing SPECTRE members.

AT NO POINT does it become logical to conclude that what those SPECTRE villains were doing in all their own plans were somehow nefariously linked to fucking over Bond as well.
>>
>>62684001
I guess they took it down. You may have to torrent it.
>>
>>62684130
I'm talking about the movie Spectre. Not any of the older movies. Why are you bringing those up?
>>
>>62684130

>>
>>62684144
>torrenting a movie for one scene
>>
>>62684162

Because I keep seeing people suggest otherwise to:

>AT NO POINT does it become logical to conclude that what those SPECTRE villains were doing in all their own plans were somehow nefariously linked to fucking over Bond as well.

The plot of all of the previous films remains the same, all Blofeld gave us was the reasoning behind why Bond has been targetted and caused suffering.

All of the villains associated with SPECTRE all did their own shit and weren't part of this grand plan to fuck over Bond, this was not some huge rewriting of canon.
>>
>>62684232
Why not? It takes like twelve seconds. And nothing's stopping you from watching the whole thing.
>>
>>62684234
>all did their own shit

They all worked for the same organization. An organization that one man who James Bond stole daddy's love from happened to be running.
>>
>>62678926
It was too long, Monica Bellucci was wasted and basically raped. The whole "evil lair in the desert" part felt like a huge contrivance to explain how Blofeld got his scar. There was a very good Bond movie in there but and I wait to see how the fan-edits turn out.
>>
>>62681283
So the last part of the film was a Suckerpunch homage?
>>
>>62684271
SPECTRE works a little differently. Basically if you're in SPECTRE you can do whatever you want that's illegal, provided it doesn't fuck with SPECTRE itself, or at least that's what I gather; correct me if I'm wrong.

This means Blofeld knew about his workers' plots, no matter how personal, even if he himself wouldn't necessarily reap the benefits aside from a cut or some bolstering of the organization. It wouldn't be hard for him to have somebody fucking with Bond during a mission that Bond's working against.
>>

>>
>>62684271

When you say 'work for it' you then infer from this that they work directly for and all their actions are therefore derived from Blofeld.

This isn't the case. All of the SPECTRE villains have been members of it involved in any one aspect of the organisation, usually trying to extort money to finance the organisation and future shit.

I would say it's simpler to state that they work for SPECTRE, because their plans and actions are all to the benefit of the organisation (and themselves) somehow.

Now, Blofld tells Bond that the women in his life are dead and all that jazz for two reasons:

>I hate you personally because muh father
>you foiled the plans of and killed multiple members of my organisation

That is really the only information he gives.

Saying that the plan of every member villain directly and secretly involved Bond somehow and somehow was trying to cause him pain just because
>Blofeld says that he has tried to cause suffering to Bond in his actions
>the members of his organisation are referenced (he's mad Bond killed them)
is taking a baseless and silly logical step.

If you think about it properly in terms of the actual information imparted and what it would suggest, you'll see that it's an absolutely absurd idea that is really problematic when you look at the plots of some previous SPECTRE Bond films and referenced villains.
>>
>>62684502
I don't even understand what you're arguing for anymore.
>>
>>62684522
>Saying that the plan of every member villain directly and secretly involved Bond somehow

I'm not saying that. I'm saying Blofield made it so. Stop fucking with my mind. I thought Spectre was dumb as fuck. I'm not defending the writing of the movie or its lack of sense, I'm just telling you what the character said plainly.

Somebody's saying that the previous three Craig films were secretly all about making Bond suffer and for no other reason, demoting characters like Le Chiffre and Silva to mere lackeys working on the same goal: to make James Bond miserable.

I'm arguing that this isn't how SPECTRE works and that Le Chiffre and Silva still had their own plots, plans, and wishes, and that the suffering caused to Bond (the deaths of his women, etc) was basically Blofeld nudging their missions a little.

He fell off a train which obviously kills a man but he's a damn Bond heavy with a FUCKING hour left in the film. If we were supposed to know he was dead then SHOW that he's dead. Don't just have him pop up, get defeated, disappear, pop up, get defeated, disappear and then not pop up again.

Also lets not have Camille return despite the fact that she had a personal cause in seeing SPECTRE taken down.

The script was seriously fucked in a few parts.

There was an evil scheme to take over the world through surveillance and also an evil scheme to kill Bond because of childhood BS? And they're not related but were happening at the same time? Blofeld had literally no connection to the surveillance scheme and the Max guy taking over British intelligence except a scene where he exposits, "Oh yea, I'm responsible for that and that Max guy works for me!"

It was like two completely separate Bond movies with two completely separate villains with completely separate schemes crammed into one movie with a shitty line of dialogue explaining one works for the other.

>What does expecting a Bond movie have to do with expecting a good Bond movie?
This. Nobody goes to a Bond film expecting a masterpiece of modern cinema.
It's not unreasonable, though, to expect that a film with such a huge budget (not to mention legacy) could manage to hire someone competent to handle the script.

I'm tempted put Skyfall above casino royale. CR shines bright in the memory because of it's striking difference from previous Bonds but there is some clunky expositional moments in what is mainly an extended Poker Stars episode. Remember that character who's only job was to tell you how much money was in the pot? Yeah, fuck that guy.

I loved the ending. I also loved the opening car chase, and I liked Bond being mopey about Vesper. Also the opening song was awesome. Top 5 Bond songs, I think.

Can't justifiably call it good by giving it a 7, but I feel obligated to call it slightly above average with a 6 due to the limited enjoyment I got from it.

it was made to look like one long shot, with a lot of things happening with GOD TIER pacing, layered music gets stripped down and layered up perfectly according to what's happening (or what's about to happen) on screen.

i literally almost forgot to breathe during that sequence. it was amazingly done.

it was also a throwback to the opening sequence to casino royale, kind of like showing how much he's evolved in skill but still not so much and ends up doing excessive damage just to get to his mark

Have another (You) then.

Another Way to Die was a great musical motif for the movie, but they should have gone with Jack White doing the music and Alicia Keys doing the vocals.
>>
>>62685599
Or even just Jack White and his band, sans Alicia.

It was an alright song turned to shit through the most forced duet I think I've ever heard.

Let's just ignore the "kuhrazee hacker who planned everything out in advanced and let himself be captured" crap for a second.
We have a Bond who basically took M from the protection of a considerable government agency full of top people who could've hidden her in a number of places with people looking after her while Bond does his thing.
Nope, Bond just takes her in his care straight to his old castle, they dont stop to get some guns, he doesn't pick a location where it's easy to get a jump on mr hackerman or anything like that.
Nope, he literally drives her to an easy to assault location, then proceeds to be surprised that he has no weapons and manages to get M killed, just like the hackerman wanted.
Not only does this atrocity happen, which would basically make Bond liable and get imprisoned for the rest of his life, but he goes for a chat with the new M who just kind of says "oh well Bond, we're lucky to have you be a good chap and go on many more missions!"
This is after he gets the previous head of the MI6 killed because he went rogue with her.

>Dr No better than... Thunderball
Dr. No is so far above Thunderball it's not even funny.

>Goldeneye... should be a 9
Goldeneye is not a near-perfect film. How you can only subtract one point from 10 for it bewilders me.

>Thunderball lowest tier
>>62685534 >>62685406
These. I'd also add that it's not bad, it's just average. Hence the 5/10.

>>62685599
Yeah, agreed. I also might retract what I said about top 5. I'll make a list.

>>62680717
there is no other order

That fight is breath-taking - it's all fucking real.

>>62685690
To be fair, Voldemort did owe him one. He was gunning for the M job for years. Bond was also clearly using her as bait.
>>
>>62685761

Well you're half right

>>62680747

>>62682073
Finally, I know I'm not alone. A friend and I rewatched Quantum post-Skyfall and all we could talk about was how much more satisfying it was. It's a quick and dirty revenge flick with a great female lead, a few effective deaths (Mathis and Agent Fields), and villains that get the job done without being cartoon characters. I dig it.
>>
>>62685767

I'm sure that someone like Bond can figure out ways of using her as bait that don't involve driving her to bumfuck nowhere without stopping to get some weapons along the way.

Also regardless of NewM owing him a favor Bond was still responsible for M and her death and there's no doubt agency pressure would have him at the very least resign if not bringing up charges.

>I'll make a list.
And here it is. Couldn't be fucked doing all 24 movies, just went until I got to QoS. So, not top 5. But close.

1. Live and Let Die - Paul McCartney & Wings - Live and Let Die
2. The World is Not Enough - Garbage - The World Is Not Enough
3. Goldfinger - Shirley Bassey - Goldfinger
4. You Know My Name - Chris Cornell - Casino Royale
5. Skyfall - Adele - Skyfall
6. A View to a Kill - Duran Duran - A View to a Kill
7. Another Way to Die - Alicia Keys & Jack White - Quantum of Solace
