Could you tell if Craig has shot a new gunbarrel sequence for this one?
Maybe put your answer in spoiler tags in case anyone doesn't want to know! :)
Welcome to the forums! This is the exact assessment I have too, as do others. It seems like it's a hit with critics but fans are going to be sorely, wildly divided.
Without knowing the specifics about NTTD, I agree. Cubby gave us Bond in space. And succeeded.
Same with this era. For better or worse, whether one likes it or not, they've done well in keeping Bond in the public eye.
I think I saw a spoiler in one of the threads regarding the PTS and I’m giddy about it. Not too thrilled about the rest of what I’m hearing though.. It sounds like it’s maybe worse or on par with DAD and forgettable? Sheesh.
Re: the gunbarrel
*Groans*… 😐
Gotta say, I love your take on things as I read more through this forum and you and I are pretty much in agreement.
That's where I'm at, too. At least they were consistent about that.
That's encouraging 👍
If I did one of these films, I would have just used the ones from FRWL and GF where instead of the iris opening the white dots get smaller until we cut to the PTS.
Ok, now I’m not *too* letdown, based on your description of it. I’m always looking forward to this aspect of a Bond film, so it’ll be cool to see how it plays out…. especially after a 6 year wait!
SOME LOCATIONS AND ORDER OF APPEARANCE INSIDE.
Gunbarrel
Eilish' song works great and the way it is edited gives the song even more impact. Purely wonderful.
action sequence shorter than I expected, but satisfying.
Anything else, feel free to ask. Seen it twice now, going for my third take in approx. 2,5 hours😁
You're almost making it sound like it's a bad thing.
The PTS is once more a highlight. The movie has some beautiful shots. Craig does a great job. Ana de Armas is amazing.
Safin should get more screen time, imo.
I'm braving rocky ground with this forum right now but my friend Clayton Davis who writes for Variety thinks NTTD is the best of Craig's run.
Is it basically Dark Knight Rises, right with all its messiness relative to the previous high bar (in this case CR and SF)? yes. Firmly in the middle of the pack there of the Craig era.
Did I still love it? Yes. It's everything I wanted it to be not just from when I walked out of Spectre, but when I saw my first big screen Bond which was - yes - QoS. This and SP being the films where Bond goes after the bastards.
Was it worth the however many miles away I am for full 1.43 IMAX? YES.
As people have said it's emotional, it wears its heart and inspirations very much on its sleeve - almost to a fault - it also is the real "let's throw everything and the kitchen sink at Craig" film - it mixes so much tonally but somehow all works out in the end. And did not drag at all....
It's certainly Crsig's most dynamic role, in that he has a lot to do and say. It's definitely not Craig's best, although, I'd say he comes off like a combination of Moore and Brosnan but with Craigisms.
