Georgy Zhukov Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 (edited) Octopussy is the most fun to watch for Moore. Great action, the plot was out there but it was paced well enough for the viewer to go along with it. Also Moore's chemistry with Maude Adams was convincing, you'd think they had an affair.The Spy Who Loved Me was memorable with the battle between the sailors and Stromburg's men. Plus it had a great score.I also loved John Barry's variation of All Time High. Edited September 11, 2013 by Georgy Zhukov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Skyfall was on cinemax the other night. Figured I watched it. Still think it is amazing. I really hope they get Roger Deakins back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 It's my favorite, I think it's safe to say it's staying that way after seeing it as many times as I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NGOG Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I've read several reports over the past few weeks linking Tom Hardy with succeeding Daniel Craig. I would absolutely approve of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 I watched Skyfall the other night for the first time since the Blu-ray came out. I figured now that I've distanced myself from Bond a bit (like I mentioned earlier in the thread, 2012 burned me out) it would be good to watch it again to get re-evaluate it. The verdict? It's still amazing. For as many times as I've seen it, like Casino Royale, it's holding up really well. It gets better every time.It also made me hope that with Mendes doing the next one, he'll get much of the same crew back. I expect the usual crew to be back but I'm talking Roger Deakins and Thomas Newman. I love David Arnold as a composer but Newman's score really impressed me so I'm anxious to see how he'd settle into the next one being that he'd be more comfortable.

Tater Totts Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Meh looking back on it I find Skyfall to be overlong by about 45 minutes, the plot is all over the place, and Silva is an average villain that could have been great had it not been for Bardem's spotty performance.

I can go all day about what was wrong with OHMSS (mostly Lazenby's acting) but I won't. I love both films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Don't need to stream, but cool!Can't believe Skyfall came out a year ago already. Pretty sure I've seen it as many or more times than any other Bond film still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facekicker Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 So the Bond producers have acquired the rights to the Blofeld character once again....could one of the greatest villains of all time be returning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 So the Bond producers have acquired the rights to the Blofeld character once again....could one of the greatest villains of all time be returning?I think so.Maybe Roger Moore will show up in the next Bond flick, he's talked about wanting to show up and do something for laughs, and being that he's as much a Bond fan as we are, they'll probably figure a way to get him in there. Connery is another story, but enough bribe money and if they happened to shoot it in Spain? I think they can get Sean in the movie somehow.

Facekicker Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I wouldn't like that. Sounds cheesy. With Skyfall everything has come full circle. All that is missing is Bond's arch nemesis. I think the organisation hinted at in Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace might just be SPECTRE and what better way to continue that story and Skyfall than having M send Bond after Blofeld. Hell I'd love to see them tackle the storyline from On Her Majesty's Secret Service - I could see Craig going for something like that with Bond marrying Tracy only for Blofeld and Irma Bunt to gun her down. Would set up having Bond nicely for the next few films. Imagine Bryan Cranston as Blofeld! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgy Zhukov Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I think they tried to do another organization like SPECTRE for Quantum of Solace but they turned the script into something else. Like at the end of Casino Royale they find out nothing about Quantum. At the end of QoS Greene tells Bond everything he knew, yet we don't even know. I think they just don't know where to go with the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 If they never introduce him, then James Bond in this universe will never have met Blofeld... Which I would just find incredibly weird. There's a lot you could do with the character in this age of international terrorism and if he's cast correctly then there's no on-screen stand off I'd rather see.Bring back Ernst Stavro!

Facekicker Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I'd love to see Michael Fassbender as Bond facing off against Bryan Cranston as Blofeld. And I'd like to see Blofeld get a good run over a few films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuloputas Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) the james bond movies are not realistic, it's just entertainment, not a serious view on the world of intelligence.so, these are generally fun movies to watch, but quite stupid at the same time with too many cliches.

I'd say it does a fine job at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
