    Please keep going. I enjoyed all the Bond movies with Daniel Craig. "Skyfall" is my favorite. Sean Connery was awesome in all of his Bond movies. And Timothy Dalton was way under-rated, actually did most of his own stunts!!!

    You've both hit the nail on the head with the failings of QoS. It's the weakest of the five Craig films but I promise you will not be disappointed with the next one, Skyfall. For many, it's the pinnacle and they pulled out all the stops to celebrate the 50th anniversary.

    You guys are bang on - it is definitely weaker compared to Casino Royale - but, for me personally, I still love this one, simply for the fact that it uses art and metaphor so well. All the action sequences are set against all the ‘elements’ - earth, air, fire, water - and good job pointing out all the “glass shattering”, always thought that was a subtle hint towards a sandy desert, reflecting Bond’s shattered, empty soul. You guys are gonna love Skyfall 100% - and although it’s not a fan fav, I love Spectre, which is more a cat-and-mouse rather than an ‘Action’ film.. can’t wait to watch along with you guys ✌🏻

      I actually love SPECTRE, it's an unpopular opinion, but I agree that CR the best and QoS is the worst of Daniel all the time, but SF, SP and NTTD are all kinda on the same level for me, and I get them ranked based on the mood. SP is the most classic Bond of Craig.

    This is that little tiny chapter at the end of a great big novel. This movie is a big budget epilogue that didn't need to be made but I am absolutely grateful that it exists. Let's be fair, Casino Royale is not only a hard movie to follow, that was a given, it's not only one of the best Bond movies ever, it is simply great cinema; the bar was so high. Especially with what has come after, CR not only stands the test of time but just seems to get better. I'll say it again, QoS is that tiny end-bit that didn't need to be made but I love it.
    I'd actually love if you both tried Dr. No, just as a classic/refresher palette cleanser, before you finish off the rest of the Craig outing. Also, Layer Cake is pretty phenomenal for you to try.
    Also, aaah, Sienna. But yeah, any part of Italy for that matter ;)

    • @clapattack7235

      This suffered from a weak script that needed to be rushed due to a pending writers strike. A couple more rounds of script doctoring could have tightened some areas up, made Greene a more captivating villain, and a few other things. I also believe Marc Forster was a bad choice for a Bond film. His more Bourne-like editing and shakey cam made action hard to follow. 8ts not a bad Bond film, just a victim of circumstance. Mid-tier Bond film.

    "It's so amusing, because we are on the other side, thinking, 'Oh, the MI6, the CIA, they're looking over our shoulders. They're listening to our conversations.' And the truth is, you don't even know we exist."
    That line was amazingly well written and acted, despite all of this film's flaws. And it's scary, because something like a shadow organization can happen, all it takes is a lot of money and power to keep itself hidden, and a seemingly legit front to cover themselves. But the worst part, they would be able to have a hand in enough levels of law enforcement and intelligence agencies, not to mention the news, that we would easily be manipulated and controlled to the point that we not only would disbelieve anyone who calls it out, but we would also be powerless to do anything over time.

    I have always enjoyed Quantum of Solace. It gets a lot of hate but man I believe it's the meanest and angriest Bond portrayal in the franchise. This movie is a pure revenge flick happening to star James Bond. He kills everyone in this movie ha. While it's light on actual plot due to the writer's strike at the time it makes up for it with non-stop entertaining action in my opinion.

    • @LA_HA
      @LA_HA 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Stefan Blake Echols: Yes. Exactly that. Thank you. QoS isn't a typical Bond film, per se, because he's not doing any of it for Queen and Country, the World, or Good versus Evil. It's revenge, so he can move forward.
      Yes. That's why Bond fans think it's weaker than most of the other (Craig) Bond films. Because it's not. As someone else in the comments wrote, it's an extra chapter between Casino Royale and Skyfall that needed to be done because Bond had some personal business to take care of.
      Thank you. I was trying to think of a way to describe this movie and you hit it right on the head.

    23:40 -- Bond breaks the 4th wall and addresses us for one of the very few times in the series. The cop tells him to open his trunk, and Bond glances at us and mumbles, "Now why would you want me to do that?" One of my favorite scenes in this movie is when M finally realizes what a great agent Bond is. "He's my agent and I trust him," she says, realizing that out of all the corrupt, self-serving people she deals with (this is the most politically pessimistic of all the Bond films), Bond is the only one who simply wants to do the right thing. And I love how this movie ends with a true-blue old-fashioned spy/espionage scene, the kind we've rarely seen since "From Russia With Love." I didn't like this movie very much when I first saw it, mostly because of the awful editing in some scenes, but after repeated viewings it has grown to become one of my favorites.

It was all style and no substance. It wasn’t bad enough as a film on its own, but had to go and infect the previous films with its badness.
      Quantum’s issues are superficial (pacing, poor editing etc) but Spectre’s issues are down at its core as a film (narrative, character motivations, themes etc). One set out with genuinely worthwhile intentions but was a failure due to poor execution, while the other one was a failure in its entire conception.

From a narrative it flowed like older Bond films specifically OHMSS, From Russia with Love, Live and Let Die, and Diamonds are Forever. It had a strong 1st and 2nd act with all the events...which are tied together (at least for Casino and Quantum) by Mr. White. Silvas addition felt like an add on. It's after we see meet Blofeld and we go to his desert base where the script falters under its own weight. Both Spectre and Quantum are style over substance. Spectres action can be followed and it has a memorable henchman without a good villain.. Quantum had neither. Spectre is a small step above Quantum (but I still like Quantum for some fun setpieces).

    My two criticisms of the opening I’ve always had were: 1) the song (there have been multiple leaked alternate/rejected songs, check out “Forever” by Eva Almer & “No Good About Goodbye” by Shirley Bassey, who would’ve returned for her 4th Bond song had it been chosen) as well as 2) I think the intro should’ve extended all the way through the rooftop chase and ended with Bond shooting into the camera when he’s hanging from the scaffolding and then, like Casino Royale, that would’ve been the transition to the credits
    This was in fact a new director (Marc Forster, while Martin Campbell directed CR) and it definitely shows. I think he tried too hard to mimic the Bourne movies in style.
    It also was made right in the middle of the 2007-08 writers strike so Forster & Craig actually ended up writing a lot of the script themselves (the “we are teachers on sabbatical…and we’ve just won the lottery!” joke comes from Craig himself lol)
    I also think they really underused Bond’s allies here, like Mathis and Felix. They included them but then killed Mathis about half and hour after bringing him back and then Felix is just existing on the periphery of the plot (those two are his most prominent recurring non-British allies in the original books, with Felix being a recurring character all through the films, regularly being recast like Bond).
    Looking forward to you guys doing Skyfall!

      I think comparing it to the Bourne films is perfect, I remember the Bourne series having that issue with cutting a ton as well in the action scenes and also underusing of returning characters like Mathis and Felix was quite underwhelming; Mathis dying felt like it was so rushed and was more like why? Instead of it being sad.
      The opening isn't bad, but I feel like it just didn't have the hype as the first one; it really made you feel like your were about to watch something incredible. The tempo and pacing of the song was so slow that it didn't build me up to the movie and I agree, the shooting into the camera again would have been such a nice touch.
      Overall, not a bad movie but I can definitely see why it's been considered the weakest. Really excited for Skyfall though, don't know when but we will watch it! :)

    The fact that I thought this was better than Casino Royal and most everyone else hated it told me I needed to step away from the franchise. Great action. Story is complex but not complicated. Plus it was a bold movie to talk about how "legitimate business interests" exploit both sides of environmental issues for profit, which happens quite a lot, but we're supposed to turn a blind eye to it.

    Quantum was the only Bond film that I couldn't wait for the action sequences to be over. In my opinion, it looked like there was three times as much coverage as needed and the editor felt the need to include frames from every set up. This resulted in a cut-per-second editing style that simply exhausted the viewer's eyes. Bond jumps to a ledge and instead of one or two cuts to establish this, there were more. It's very much like Liam Neeson (sp) jumping over fences in Taken 2. The machine gun editing simply confuses and lulls the viewer into an apathy where they phase everything out instead of trying to follow the action.

  • @markjone671
    @markjone671 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    With the exception of From Russia With love and Licence to Kill (IMO), there is a tradition in the Bond series of every new Bond actor hitting the ground running with their debut movie and their follow up film struggling to reach the same heights because the bar has been set so high by their first film. I prefer Quantum to Spectre but it was a sequel that didn't need to be made as there isn't an actual sequel to the original Casino Royale novel. The second James Bond novel is Live and Let Die, which is an entirely different story and is the first of the Bond novels to take Bond into fantasy territory with its Voodoo sub-plot while still keeping everything grounded in a real world environment.
    I totally agree with your assessments and it does feel like a rushed production compared with the lovingly crafted Casino Royale but there were unfortunate reasons for that. However, even without the writer's strike, which blighted the film as a whole, I still don't think it would have come up to Casino Royale's high standard. Still a fun ride though. More disposable entertainment than something that remains with you but the next one, Skyfall is awesome.

      @@porflepopnecker4376 Huh, I’ve never heard of anyone liking it. My feeling is that it’s both boring and tries way too hard to capture the “it’s all connected” trend that most studios were going for post-Marvel (even though that’s not what the MCU does), has an Into Darkness-style reveal that neither surprises old fans nor has any meaning to new fans, and is just generally boring to sit through. That said, I suspect the film will be more enjoyable once I can watch it back-to-back with No Time to Die, in the same way Quantum is a more rewarding experience when marathoned with Casino Royale.
