  • Maybe we can edit the thread title to include GAME or PS3/XBOX360 ? It's very easy to mistake this for a discussion of the film.

  • Did anyone notice the dated sound effects by hey used in the action scenes? When they are interrogating Bond at Carvers party, one of the goons says "Mr Carver would like to know why..." And then- THWACK!! -
  • Yeah, knowing that Bond at times has to rely on some bit of luck or some ingenuity from Q makes him more human. Bond is the best in the business, but he should never feel literally unstoppable. Thunderfinger wrote: » IncompetentHenchman wrote: …

  • I live in a coastal area, so I naturally gravitate towards the more aquatic Bond films. Dr No, Thunderball, the first half of LTK. They feel more at home to me than Skyfall does, despite those films being photographed at different corners of the glo…
  • I don't think there's anything wrong with gadgets on there own. It's more a matter of jokey they are, and how they are implemented. GoldenEye has quite a few, but they aren't smashed in your face like some of the Moore films. The belt, the watch and…

  • I'm just not sure what is to be gained from spending another 3 years and 200 million dollars to repair the damage. As they go along, the tenures of Bond get tired - it's a fact. I don't see where all this creative energy is going to come from all of…

  • The Brosnan tenure gave us Goldeneye. That cancels out every negative, in my book. If Turner gave us a START like GoldenEye was, well, brilliant!

  • fire_and_ice wrote: » Think I'll watch Revenge of the Sith to celebrate Star Wars day and see Anakin get hacked to pieces. Its a good movie. So much more drama than the first two.

  • Why are people saying this is "smoke and mirrors"? That implies that EON would have something to gain from intentionally misleading people and getting peoples hopes up that a Legendary director was about to step in. That sounds like a really dumb mo…

  • One positive of a Nolan directed Bond film is that we know everything would be done for real, and it would definitely be shot on film, possibly in IMAX. Whether you like Nolan or not, you have to appreciate he is a stickler for authenticity and has …
  • Maybe Nolan is the third peice of the pie. Young helmed the classic era of Bond, Campvell helmed the Modern era of Bond, now Nolan helms the postmodern era of Bond. It does kinda fit together when you think of it like that. We'll have to wait and…

  • I wonder how much of a Fleming purist Nolan is? He seems to like the more outlandish aspects, but based on his work Batman I think he would want to be true to the source.
