Overall pretty awful but what were some things you actually liked?
>>62765128
Just saw this tonight... Only good scene was the 2spooky4me mexico opening. once that tentacle porn started it all went to shit.
>>62765128
Opening shot and train fight
good musical score too
>>62765128
Scene panning over desert that used the main songs instrumental, only time I remember them using anything from writing on the wall.
>>62765636
Was going to say that. Score was bretty gud....thats about it
Can someone explain to me how the Spectre ring traced all the previous villains to Bond's presumed dead adopted brother? It said something about DNA and autopsy and a bunch of other bullshit on Q's laptop but it didn't elaborate.
>>62765674
>Score was bretty gud
Thomas Newman is a fucking joke and a horrible choice for doing a Bond score. The soundtrack is one third CSI Miami tier background electro spy music, one third holding one dramatic note for an extending period of time and one third repeating the theme song melody. Horrible fucking horrible.
>>62765128
literally scenes created to revolve around different suits daniel craig wears
>>62766665
Sounds literally delightful.
can anyone explain how mr. potato head lasted this long as 007?
>"I will penetrate your body with this shit and you will become retarded and you won't remember anyone, James MAHAHA"
>He's fine anyway lol
What.
>craig
>bond
>>62768129
like wtf was that?
thats ridiculous even for a bond villain
>My husband died
>Spectre will kill me in any moment
>The stronzo who killed my husband is flirting with me
>Better let him fuck me
Don't fucking say she was desperate, she was at her husband's funeral the same fucking day Bond fucks her.
who was 009?
So we all agree Batista was one of the best parts of the movie even if he had a shit death, right?
>That fucking kick to the table on the train
>>62765128
Bond knows how to bantz.
>>62768205
They don't even mention it again the rest of the movie.
in the cinema right now, I'm indian and neet so when I went up to the chick and asked her for one ticket she asked me if I was going to blow the cinema up, movie's about to begin in 5 minutes
>>62768129
>>62768205
he probed him twice. first time he said "if it works he'll have slightly changed perception, nothing serious". it's unclear if it worked.
second time he says "if it works he wont recognize anyone anymore" it obviously didnt work, cause power of love. it's still bullshit, but it was made clear
didn't feel like i was watching a bond movie. slightly better than last movie, which was shit. so its still shit. There's so much potential in this franchise and for whatever reason they dont tap it at all. Casino royal was bretty good.
This movie felt like a medium-quality britbong movie. it's like they're not even trying to make it appeal internationally anymore. its a shame. let's see if they pick up their shit with the next new bond. prolly not, its not the actor thats fucking it up, its the directors
>>62768356
#banterLads
The first 2/3rds of the movie were good imo.
Loved the general sense of foreboding in the Mexico / Rome sections
Batista was fucking great
Opening titles were fantastic
Bond got a fucking sweet Omega
Plane chase was fun and very bond
>>62765636
>>62765674
score was junk. reminds you that you take zimmer for granted
>>62768294
some oldfart judging by the music
>>62768159
piss off already
I got dragged to the movie theater after getting intoxicated and eating $10 worth of ice cream.
I have to say, I enjoyed myself despite the stupid plot and Bond being a creepy pseudo-rapist.
Best scene in the movie to be honest, sempai.
>>62768766
youre probably referring to the widow. it was made clear she didnt love him and only stayed with him for fear of her life. she also never denied his advances. do you think bond shouldve formally asked her permission for sexual intercourse via letter? that's not how it works
>kill monica belushi's husband
>this sets her up to be murdered
>fuck her
>say you'll protect her and you'll be back
>never mentioned again
I laughed when he threw the vase in the guys face. Solid as a cheesy movie, on the same tier as the Brosnan ones.
>>62765128
>helicopter mook punching above his pay grade
>indomitable big guy henchman
>villain L I T E R A L L Y figuratively keked at the end
>the entire film being banter
I went in expecting a bad movie but hoping to be entertained, and I left satisfied.
>>62768644
Should have went with 006.
Could have been a sweet cameo.
I thought it was great. Bond films should really be judged on their ability to entertain, and for the most part Spectre did that really fucking well. Yeah there were flaws, especially with Waltz's character towards the end, but whatever. It was fun as hell.
Casino Royale:
>Mads: it was MY secret organization that was behind all these nefarious schemes after all!
Then at the very end:
>Mr White: No Mads, it was MY secret organization! There's a whole 'nother upper tier that you don't even know about James!
Quantum:
>this is it Mr Bond! This is the real™ secret organization, Quantum, that was behind everything the whole time! This is the highest tier!
Skyfall:
>you fool James! It was I, Silva, who has been behind everything! Pulling the strings this entire time and you were none the wiser...
Spectre:
>You'll never guess who was behind everything James... it was me, Blofeld.
>>62769284
like poetry.
>>62765128
The guns they used.
>>62769345
This was some OP shit.
>>62765128
It had one of the best Bond girls in a while.Too bad Bond ran off with that random French bitch in the end
>>62769284
Why was my file deleted? It was a perfectly normal image. Hope I'm not banned now.
>>62765128
his clothes were fucking top notch
and the fight scene on the train was really good until he put the rope around his neck and there was a close up of him and he said "shit" UUUUGGGGGHHH
Q was great
Also that mouse scene was the best
The part with the Spectre meeting. Fuck that shit was good. Had high hopes for Blofeld, but he was barely there so the character ended up shit.
>>62769375
This bothered me as well. I thought Mr. Hinx was supposed to be mute or maybe he didn't wanted to talk because he was intimidating as fuck, but no.
Cliché "shit" line before dying it is.
>>62768464
>didn't feel like i was watching a bond movie
>Casino royal was bretty good.
Did you even watch Bond movies before the Craig ones? Spectre was very much a Bond movie in every aspect, even if that meant it was pretty mediocre.
>>62768807
Is this a copy of that movie with the mouse that can cook and talk?
>>62769387
Imagine if James ended up punching the wrong wall because he was drunk as shit.
>>62769374
What the the file pham.
>>62769375
>the clothes
This. The coat he wore at the funeral, I need it.
>>62765128
It wasn't that awful. Not as good as "Skyfall" but still wayyy better than QoS
>>62769436
This.
Casino Royale >>> Skyfall >> Spectre >>>>>>>> Quantum of Solace
>>62769413
No, it's way older.
Good blend of animatronics, CGI and trained mice
>>62765128
>cinematography
>Lea Seydoux

Eh, watching Spectre has given me a new appreciation for QoS.
At least that movie has an excuse.
Plus

Seems pretty generic and phoned in, to me. Then again the dialogue he was working with was shit.
>le cukkoo james, the bird and the nest, you are teh cukkoo james
>>62769430
Nice coat...
Probably Tom Ford
>>62769499
compared to the rest of the cast, he stood out despite appearing at the beginning and end of the movie
>>62769484
>that extremely jarring and obvious transition (read: cut) when they pan to the poster and then back to a lavish interior
trash
>>62769481
The new title sequences lost something by being completely digital.
This shit was way more charming.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9p0FJnk2vM
>>62769459
how the fuck do you train a mouse to sleep like that wtf
>>62769535
THAT was an animatronic mouse. Everything before that was real
>>62769493
I really like Writing's on the Wall too, but I think it works better with the opening credits.
If you just listen to it it's still good but it's not the same. Maybe that's why I prefer Skyfall.
>>62769459
>>62769567
>animatronic
2real4me
>>62769491
>>way better plane action scene
The QoS plane scene makes no fucking sense
>Train fight starts
>Everyone except James, le Ms. White and Big Guy disappear as the fight occurs
Also, they should have let the "We know what C stands for" joke as it was. They ruined it with the second delivery.
>>62769582
The writing on the wall was basically their attempt at an old school Bond ballad.
However those are usually sung by women, not gay men.
Male singers sing about how awesome Bond is or about how hard his life is:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1AMUmkj-ck
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sT0x7QiJI1g
Maybe that's the problem.
>>62769345
Had no idea that was just a super special glock in the opening
http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Spectre#Glock_17_.28FAB_Defense_KPOS_Glock_to_Carbine_Conversion.29
>>62769632
I think calling Max C was nonsensical because only James called him that out of nowhere.
>I'm going to call you C
>But my name's Max
>Nah, C.
Then everyone calls him C from that moment.
>>62769646
Pretty obvious they wanted a more emotional, vulnerable sounding song from Bond's POV m8. A big, bombastic, Thunderball-type song would've felt out of place given the movie it's attached to.
>>62769629
Rewatch it on occasion it was way more exciting and less overblown and retarded.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14PMgikQ6oo
Plus Bond doesn't just pull the plane out of his ass.
>>62769696
>given the movie it's attached to.
A shit movie?
>>62769696
Still didn't make it a good song though.
Also songs sung from Bond's POV always suck (Die Another Day)
>>62769672
>All these awkward lines
Who I am? I'm Mickey Mouse!
>>62769662
>http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Spectre#Glock_17_.28FAB_Defense_KPOS_Glock_to_Carbine_Conversion.29
heh, bloomin 'eck! didn't realise that either.
I probably would've, if I was a real sucker for firearms – that's pretty darn cool though!
>>62769795
Eh, I laughed at that li-
>Ciao, Mickey Mouse
>>62769806
In the script it's actually:
>I'm Mickey Mouse, asshole. Who are you?
Honestly given that they were in Rome I was expecting him to say "The Pope" or something.
>>62769345
I can't be the only one wondering what could possibly be the use of such a thing – except fucking up your wrist more quickly
>>62765128
Leya Seydoux saved the movie for me
I liked the first car chase and the train fight. Forgot the rest.
>>62769861
What?
She had a complete shit character and awful delivery.
I guess your eyes were glued to her ass all the time.
>>62769838
Speaking of the script, I read that it leaked somewhere during the SonyLeaks and /tv/ read it or something. Was it accurate to the final movie?
>>62769883
Not him but
>Her nips in that blue dress when she sits with Bond on the train
HNG.
>>62769884
I only heard that the Sony Execs hated the third act of the movie and judging from what they wrote it would have actually been worse than the final product.
>Waltz wasn't actually Blofeld, but a guy named Stockmann, who goes on a long rant on why he hates Bond.
>Q gets captured partway through the movie and ends up in a cell at SPECTRE's base
>Stockmann also has a lesbian assistant that wants to molest Seydoux
>Bond convolutedly dupes Stockmann into thinking that his plan is going to fail, causing him to run back to London to make sure it doesn't.
>Bond kills him in an anticlimactic way.
One Exec even wrote that he didn't buy the romance at all and that no woman could replace Vespa.
Sometimes I think there are actually good people working at Sony.
The long take at the beginning was pointless. It was clearly just the director and cinematographer wanking themselves to sleep because they couldn't give a shit about the actual film.
>>62769957
Wow, then we get a far better ending than what they planned.
I'm glad they didn't killed Blofeld. I was remembering M's dialogue at the beginning saying the drones could never make the choice of killing someone because it's not easy". It was a nice touch to make such a callback without making it obvious.
>>62769957
>Waltz wasn't actually Blofeld, but a guy named Stockmann, who goes on a long rant on why he hates Bond.
so was someone else originally supposed to be a surprise twist Blofeld or was he not even in the movie?
>>62766665
i always wondered, hes stranded up a mountain, in the desert, some village and always has a new outfit going lel
loved the persols
It was shot exceptionally well, Waltz and Bautista were both perfectly cast, the train sequence was magnificent, Craig is still great at playing Bond.
It was just so lazily written. Everything felt recycled. His relationship with Madeline was just a less developed version of his relationship with Vesper, C as the obstructive bureaucrat was just an evil version of Mallory in Skyfall and the ending where Bond chooses the high road over revenge is literally the same ending as Quantum of Solace.
>>62770026
The leaked script didn't mention Blofeld.
Not once.
http://defamer.gawker.com/new-bond-script-leaks-execs-scrambling-to-fix-awful-en-1670479885
That old bitch he fucks was way too old. I don't want to see that many wrinkles for fucks sake. The only good shot of her is when he leaves and she is in some BDSM gear.
>from literally the first second he appears on-screen it's obvious C is a villain
>the movie acknowledges this by having Bond point out how obvious it is that Blofeld is working with C
>it then expects us to forgive it for being too obvious
that was fucking horrible.
>>62770218
prolly wouldnt have been so obvious to me if i hadnt watched sherlock, at least in the beginning. then the whole "evil guy abolishes our flawed, yet good-intentioned organization" cliché kinda gets out of hand. loads of clichés, sadly, even though they seem to be so tryhard about being realistic/modern
The opening was pretty nice but at times I noticed extras looking right at the camera.
Fuck off Reddit, it was great
>been hearing /tv/ talking about the opening shot
>finally watch it
>some guy next to me talking throughout the entirety
>can't really enjoy the pictures because this fag annoys me
>tell him to please be quiet
>be nervous for the rest of the film because this guy sitting next to me now hates my guts
fuck, I need to watch it again, I didn't feel like I could actually enjoy it like this.
>>62770267
You're right, they should have cast someone trustworthy and sympathetic in the role.
That way it'd actually be a surprise.
>>62770095
The script notes all refer to him as Blofeld, though. They might've just changed the name in the hard copy of the script to try and hide the twist in case of leaks.
>>62770267
Apparently, their first choice for the role was Chiwetel Ejiofor, but Andrew Scott was $1mil cheaper.
>>62770451
After seeing his role I'm happy they went with Scott.What a shitty death.
>>62770461
I thought it was some kind of joke.
I mean seriously, it would have been fine if he had attacked M and then got his ass beat by motherfucking Voldemort before stumbling over the edge, but that shit was just comical.
All it needed was this really:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8XTpCwicwE
>>62770363
From the C to the I to the A
>>62770451
Ejiofor was actually in talks to play Blofeld, who was an African warlord in an early draft.
>>62770482
all deaths in the film were pretty dissapointing to be honest, family. Is this the result of a familyfriendly pg rating?
>fall out of a helicopter
>fall off a train
>fall off a balcony
did I miss any?
the scene where bond escapes the crater and literally shoots a submachine gun with one hand and still kills everyone with 1 shot is also ridiculous
>>62770576
I was expecting Mr. Hinx to come back at end.
In fact I first thought the driver of the truck that hit M's car was Hinx making a comeback.
Goddamn.
>>62765698
Lol
>>62765698
Fuck you, that's how.
>>62770608
same here. I really wanted him to come back, and expected him to. It would fit the 'built like a mountain' character to survive getting dragged out of a train.
>>62770676
Hell, Jaws survived getting thrown out of a train.
Just came back from watching it, fuck mendes phoned it in big time for this one, most of the scenes and dialogue seemed half assed and like no-one was giving a shit. They even recycled the soundtrack used in skyfall for most of the movie for fucks sake.
>>62765128
I was hoping that they gave Waltz a more relevant role with more lines, similar to Mikkelsen in Casino Royal, and I was hoping for an antagonist up to par with Waltz in Inglorious bastards, but was barley on screen the entire movie.
>>62770920
I hat this recent trend of having the villain only be on screen when the hero is too.
Old James Bond villains had scenes that didn't have them bantering with Bond, but instead scheming or berating their henchmen or just enjoying their evil lifestyle.
I know they think it somehow adds to the mystery by having the villain not be on screen much, but that's a shitty thing to do in a 007 movie. See also The Man with the Golden Gun.
If Christopher Lee had actually been in the movie throughout, it could have been great.
>>62770982
On another /tv/ topic, someone said Mendes gave an interview where he claimed that the audience can never be ahead of Bond, that they should find out things as he does. If this is true, I'd dearly want to read his reasoning cause that's exactly how Blofeld is introduced in FRWL, and how Hitchcock structured NxNW. And it's much more intelligent than Spectre where the movie is always shackled to Bond's pov.

When they cast Batista, they were pretty straightforward about Hinx needing to step up the game regarding henchmen to return to older, multi-picture appearances.
American Ultra is my personal favorite spy movie of the year.
>>62771226
Can't confirm, but you're right, Skyfall and Spectre never showed baddies pov, while Casino Royale and Quantum did.
>A spy comedy is a better James Bond movie then an actual James Bond movie
Step up
>>62773200
That's a bit of a stretch, but yeah, I guess.
>>62770013
>>62769957
They are setting up for the next and last Craig film to be You Only Live Twice. He will kill Blofield at the end of that one.
>>62773035
Fuck off max landis. Nobody liked your shitty flick
>>62773215
It's much better than Spectre, has espionage, plot makes sense, cool action, much better written and is actually fun to watch

It's a cock ring.
A shared one.
It's bs basically. For some reason MI6 has the DNA of a presumably dead Austrian kid on their database. And luckily enough everybody else that is oart of the conspiracy left their DNA on the ring and if everybody's DNA is on it that means the SPECTRE is real.
>>62773200
the atrocious editing ruined this movie
shame, cavill was perfect in his role
Just got back from the movie and I'm a bit underwhelmed.
I don't like that it's not very coherent in how it introduces people.
But what's /tv/'s favorite bond movie?
>>62772968
Why didn't Bond just capture that guy and interrogate him instead of leaving him in the desert? Pretty shit thing to do, since that info could have helped them get Quantum and Spectre.
>>62768356
quality post
You know, as fun as the opening was, Bond's mannerisms were really out of place considering this was the first time we've seen him since M dying. The couch gag was fucking bizarre, and there were weird tone shifts all over like that. Bourne seriousness and cheesy Bond humor don't mix that well.
>>62769459
I've never felt so comfy.
