Redhead74 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 On TV, I think it was Goldfinger or it might have been The Spy Who Loved Me, not certain of that one.At the cinema it would have been A View To A Kill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyman Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) Saw Tomorrow Never Dies in cinema. I didn't see any Bond in cinema until Casino Royale. ....what?Also, like I said about Supremecy, it's a great "Bond" song, but I love the song that was chosen, just because it fits the movie so well. I think I would vote this barely above CR as Craig's best Bond movie.PS. Redhead, oddly enough John Barry and A-Ha didn't get along during the making of that song, hence why they (A-Ha) came out with their own version of the song Edited November 24, 2012 by Crazyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgy Zhukov Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I've only ever played GoldenEye for N64, I didn't realize that Daniel Craig did the updated version. How are the other video games? Everything Or Nothing looks dumb since it is third person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 One more thing I picked up on:Maybe this is just a coincidence but in the title sequence, "Judi Dench as M" appears over a tombstone. Seeing how many references there were in the title sequence, I wouldn't be surprised if this was intentional.Probably not a coincidence. The titles in this film are brilliant and I enjoyed them even more the second time I saw the movie. There's perhaps a little too much going on, so the second viewing definitely helped me pick up on some more of the thematic content. I didn't notice the one you mentioned, good catch!Also, I liked:The double meaning of having the "Bond" name on one of the tombstones - Bond's "death" from falling of the train as well as a foreshadowing for his parents graves later in the film.I've only ever played GoldenEye for N64, I didn't realize that Daniel Craig did the updated version. How are the other video games? Everything Or Nothing looks dumb since it is third person.Everything or Nothing is great. Third-person works well for Bond's single player because of the smooth cover system, and the other moves like barrel rolls and so forth. It's almost like you're watching a Bond movie. There's also something like 20 missions which made it the longest game since GoldenEye. Multiplayer, of course, needs to be in first-person. GoldenEye set the standard. Tomorrow Never Dies, From Russia With Love, and Blood Stone were also third-person.Other Bond games? Here's some quick reviews based on the versions I've played:Tomorrow Never Dies (PS1) - Pretty bad. It's got some nostalgia going for it but it's short, easy, and lacks replay value. No multiplayer either.The World is Not Enough (PS1) - Okay, but not as good as the Nintendo 64 version (different developer, both different games). No multiplayer.The World is Not Enough (N64) - Every bit as good as GoldenEye, but sadly overlooked because of the status of the former. Addition of bots in multiplayer was great.007 Racing (PS1) - avoid this at all costs. It's fucking shit.Agent Under Fire - solo missions are okay and there's some variety (driving, stealth, shooting). Multiplayer is solid.Nightfire - great solo campaign though a little short. Again, lots of variety. Amazing multiplayer too - the bots make a return.From Russia With Love - sadly, this game is overlooked. It's a lot of fun playing in the Connery world, and multiplayer is decent despite being in third-person.Quantum of Solace - basically Bond on the Call of Duty engine. It's okay. Really should have been called "Casino Royale" since it takes missions from both movies and there's more from that.Blood Stone - best game since Everything or Nothing. It's a shame they canceled the sequel. Played and felt like a Daniel Craig Bond movie. Great fight mechanics.GoldenEye (2010) - fun game, like some of the updates, others not so much. Some nostalgia scattered throughout but it's another Call of Duty clone and far too linear.Have yet to play 007 Legends. I've heard it's absolutely terrible. I'll wait for the bargain bin. It's a shame - it sounded promising but it's yet another wasted opportunity for a Bond game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Is there a site where I can see a complete list of weapons Bond used in film and video game? I saw some walk throughs of From Russia with Love and I find it amusing how ubiquitously old Sean Connery sounds. I think he got more and more Scottish as he grew older.

DieselDaisy Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I used to have Nightlife and I remember, at the start, Bond comes down a rope into a moving car driven by a lady and says something like, ''just dropping in'', in a Moore accent (it is supposed to be Brosnan).

Georgy Zhukov Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Brosnan has lent his voice to Everything or Nothing. I think he did for other games. Craig has for Quantum and Goldeneye. I love it when they do that. Use to be the worse part about video game experience when the actors don't even lend their voices. I am really getting tired of these articles saying that Skyfall is the best Bond ever. Now people will say it is overrated and say fucking QoS was better.

Georgy Zhukov Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Skyfall is well on its way to being the highest grossing Spy film of all time. Number 6 behind Austin Powers 2, Mission Impossible 4, Austin Powers 3, Mission Impossible 2 and the Bourne Ultimatum which sits on $227 million US domestic.

James Bond Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 Craig lent his voice and likeness to Blood Stone as well, in addition to Quantum and GoldenEye. It's funny seeing Brosnan's face in Nightfire yet hearing a totally unrelated voice.Craig's likeness is used for 007 Legends but unfortunately not his voice. Very disappointing since Judi Dench, Naomie Harris, and Rory Kinnear all lent their voices to it. Carey Lowell voice Pam Bouvier for the Licence To Kill section and Toby Stephens reprises his role of Graves as well for the Die Another Day section. Considering all this voice talent, it's a shame Craig wasn't part of the mix.I agree - it's funny hearing old Connery against the image of young Connery in the From Russia With Love game. As for your question about a complete weapons list, I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for your question about a complete weapons list, I'm not sure.I would have shut down the project if I couldn't get the star to lend a voice. Isn't Daniel Craig a little difficult to work with?Having watched Licence to Kill recently I really liked Pam as a Bond girl. She had guts but at the same time she can be vunerable but then again she is just an informer only taught to defend herself. She is the first of the tougher Bond girls peaking with Michelle Yeoh but went too far with Halle Berry. I liked Halle but her role was campy as fuck.Oh and I found a list.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_James_Bond_firearms#Eon_Productions_filmsAlso a vehicle list but I am sure it is incomplete.

Roush Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I saw Skyfall. More succinct than Quantum, but not as taut as Casino. Also, you guys need to check out Layer Cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
