You can think of Spectre and No Time to Die as Daniel Craig's Bond operating at full potential. The first two films showed Bond as a young, powerful, and brash assassin. Skyfall showed us that Craig's Bond was aging and that it was time to rely less on brute force and trigger happy decisions. Spectre gives us the best of both young and old Bond. A calm, cool, and collected operative with a license to kill and, now, the wisdom and smarts to compliment his ability as a 00. One of my favorite examples of this is Bond's escape from Blofield in the desert. He outsmarts his way to freedom then shows everyone that he's got his aim back by holding Madeleine's hand while efficiently gunning down armed men.
But, how long in between the storylines were movies 2 and 3? Certainly not long enough to go from young to old. Casino Royale was pretty good but then turned to crap.
Madeline Swan is played by French actress Lea Seydoux, who also played the killer in "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" who got pushed out of the window of the Burj Khalifa.
He was terrific in Denial (2016) but wasted in Spectre in a thankless, obvious role. And his end was so predictable; as if the makers said “let’s just get this over with.”
These two make movies better! I fell asleep watching Spectre the first time I saw it, but not this time... Not only do these sisters have great comedic chemistry, but they get so involved in the spirit of the movies. Love it!
Ladies, the fight scene (and the love that followed) is an homage to the Orient Express scene from "From Russia with Love". That film is notable, for one reason, because of the fight scene between Robert Shaw's character and Bond. Amazing films, both of them!
Monica Bellucci. aged 50 here, was the oldest Bond woman. Pity she wasn't given more to do. Great actress, perenially beautiful, and with the right character, could have been one of the great femme fatale's in Bond.
@@phousefilms Probably a good thing for her to be cast at this time in her career, though, since many Bond-girl actresses has said that being a Bond-girl limited their work and the types of roles they were offered, afterwards. Monica had at this point already established herself as an actress, with a great variety of roles behind her, so she could probably go ahead and do this for fun, being in her 50s.
I remember first seeing the opening scene to this, soon as I saw the Helicopter I pretty much knew what was to come, because the only reason for using that old bird is the fact that the BO105 is the only civilian chopper that can do a looping. 😁
Spectre stands out for several fact: -Largest explosion in a single take in filming history and in Guidness World Record . -Monica Belucci portray as the oldest Bond Girl to date. -Aston Martin car is one of a kind model and is build specifically for the movie. -The opening sequence in Mexico's Day of the Dead is shot in one take for several minutes with no cuts.
Speaking of the day of the dead sequence, prior to the movie there was no parade. After this was released CDMX had enough people ask that it was decided to start holding a parade every year
"-Largest explosion in a single take in filming history and in Guidness World Record ." which encapsulate how bad this movie is, since for being the largest explosion in film history, its somehow directed to be the most forgettable and boring explosion ever. I mean you need special kind of talent to managed that fiasco. What indulgent waste was that. oh, boy.
Fun fact, parts of Blofelds speech before and during the torture scene were taken almost 100% verbatim from Colonel Sun, the Bond novel written by Kingsley Amis (the first author to do so after Ian Fleming died). It's the only non-Fleming novel to be used officially in an Eon Bond film and there is a credit to the Amis estate at the end of the movie.
Cassie, did you actually say, "Someone went to a lot of trouble to print those out...scrapbooking his head onto those..." Bwah-ha-ha-ha! That says SO much! 🤣
When James's parents were killed , "Blofeld's" father took James in and raised him along with his son. Blofeld's father asked his son to be a brother to James. He didn't like that and seen James as a Cuckoo in the nest, he wanted his father to himself alone.
The scenes in Austria and Dr Swanns Mountain Rehabilitation were shot really close to where I live. There even is a James Bond Museum up on top of the magnificent mountains. So if you should ever be close, be sure to check out the "007 Elements" ins Sölden, Austria ❤
funny when @37:40 you mentioning "Goldfinger" and they just arrived there in the same model Rolls Royce that Goldfinger had in that movie. also... Lea Seydoux (Madeline Swann) was in "Inglorious Basterds" with Christoph Waltz. she was one of the girls from the French family at the beginning of the movie.
The car in the movie is a one of a kind well 10 of a kind I think something like that, as it was meant to be Craigs last film they built the car custom as a non production model. So there’s no others out there as it. However after this film came out one year later they built a car awefully close to it as the Bond fan and Aston Martin fan community loved it so much 😂
Girls, how good is your Francais? When you watch the beginning of NO TIME TO DIE, there was an untranslated whisper between characters that basically intertwines every single Bond movie ever made .. .. or, at least, that's what I heard ~~ Ecouter!
Same Blofeld, hence the trademark cat, his wardrobe, the scar, etc. Just a rebooted character. But, this was the first time in a few decades that the movies were legally allowed to use the name and the Spectre logo. But, the only major difference is that they made this Blofeld Bond's brother. You kinda have to know thecbasic history of the original Bond books and movies to understand what Spectre is to the Bond world. The last time Spectre/Blofeld was used was during some of the early Roger Moore movies.
In No Time To Die I think she looks much prettier, I see her more attractive in that movie, maybe because she is a few years older, and she looks much more like a woman.
James likes to stand on the boat because he is a Naval Commander before being a secret agent I believe Ooh fun fact: Even though Daniel Craig has been made an honorary Commander in the Royal Navy - matching the on-screen rank of James Bond, the only 007 actor to actually have served in the Royal Navy was Able Seaman Sean Connery.
To clear up the Blofeld thing… he dropped his father’s name and changed his name to his mother’s maiden name because of the disdain he had for his father for taking James in. And yes, this is the same Blofeld, but in a different multiverse. 😊
"this is the same blofeld" so, wait, wut? In this movie, the guy in the old pictures is that the same person with the cat in the older bonds? And waltz vharacter is his son or are u saying that waltz and the cat guy from the older bonds is the same character? Edit. Ok so I get it, it is a multiverse thing, and it is the same character from like frikin 40-50 years ago. Which is fkn stupid. Why does it have to be a multiverse thing, why cant it be like a straight timeline thing, once a 007 gets old etc a new one steps in. Maybe I havent just thought about this, its been a long time since ive actually watched these films.
The Daniel Craig movies are a partial reboot. Remember in Casino Royale he starts out before he became a Double Oh section agent and Judy Dench was already M. So in this reboot/alternative universe (whatever) Bond never met and married Tracy. However the previous Bonds were a continuation which is why Roger Moore ' Bond was Tracy's grave and then killed Blofeld by dropping him from a helicopter. Frankly the continuity is so scrambled I just treat each movie as a stand alone.
@@Tero92 The Daniel Craig bonds are standalone reboot and have no continuation with the other bonds. They're more grounded in reality to reflect the times whilst keeping with the source material. That means that there are the same characters but with new stories.
I hadn't thought about it, but, quite possibly, the existence of a "multiverse," as a pop-culture concept, is maybe a great thing for the Bond franchise! It can easily explain how past events can be canon when needed, and not, when they would pose problems! We have, I'd say, at least seven, likely more, separate universes in which James Bond, et al, exists, and they are all similar, and different, to varying degrees! A certain key event may have happened in five of those universes, but, not the other two, or at different points in time.
Dave Bautista did a great job as the assassin. A couple of other Christoph Waltz movies you may want to check out are, "Inglorious Basterds" and "Alita, Battle Angel". I am glad you two are going to finish these.
Kincaid wasn't Bond's father. He was the groundskeeper for the Bond family. James knew him since he was a child, and they only parted ways after James' father died and James left to be with his new foster family.
It’s a multiverse. This is the Blofeld origin story for Daniel Craig’s James Bond. The next movie will be a rollercoaster ride 👍 you will love Paloma! 😜
Wyomi Reed and Michael Ironside are both Canadian-born. Reed was Dark Star Battalion in Top Gun: Maverick and Ironisde was Lieutenant Commander Rick "Jester" Heatherly in Top Gun. Manny Jacinto was Fritz in Top Gun: Maverick. He was not born in Canada, but lived there since 1990. His lines were cut from movie.
Hey sisters, Happy Canada Day! Daniel Craig does it again, kicks so much tail. Colin Mochrie from the show Whose Line Is It Anyway? is from Canada. Nice reaction.
Andrew Scott who plays C is so good at playing smooth, creepy, sociopathic, villains. He certainly was a scarily good Moriarty in the BBC Sherlock series. I wonder what he's like as a person. Sometimes actors get type cast, playing characters with personalities that are nothing like their own. James Bond always reminds me of a line from a poem by an iconic Aussie Poet named A.B. "Banjo" Patterson. His image is even on our $10 note. My big sister gave me a cassette of his Animal Poems when I was a little girl. The line is "The more you shoot him, the less he dies." Which is definitely Bond. The next line of the poem is "Unless you shoot him between the eyes" it's about Feral Pigs. A childhood trauma has also left me with a fear of guns. But my trauma wasn't as graphic as Madeline's. One night when I was 6 and my 17 year old favourite big brother who was my protector snuck out of the house. He went to visit his friend across the street who had a gun the police said would never fire. Tragically they were wrong, he accidentally shot himself in the head. The next morning after finding out what had happened, my world would never be the same again 😪. I'm glad that due to our gun laws there aren't many around. Because seeing a gun makes me shake uncontrollably.
I really enjoyed "Spectre". Not sure why it gets so much hate, I thought it was a really fun, exciting action romp and a fine addition to the series. The fight between Bond and Dave Bautista on the train is one of the best fights in the entire Bond universe, imo.
Need to mention this. It sometimes happens that you keep someone in the dark, not out of distrust or uncertainty, but to protect them from danger or to protect them politically so they can still declare plausible deniability. Bond is kind of a traditional knight errant, protecting the crown at all costs, and may have been protecting M by not pulling him into the loop here. Just a thought.
I’ve been a Bond fan for over 30 years and I have no idea why this movie gets the hate that it does. I think it’s the closest we get in the Craig era to a “classic” Bond film. I love the score, I think Madeleine Swann is a great love interest for Bond, Dave Bautista plays one of the best henchmen in the entire series, and think Waltz makes a fine Blofeld. I think the biggest issue people have with the film is the retconning of a personal connection between Bond and Blofeld, but as these films represent a separate continuity I have no real issue with it. I wish they could have hinted at Blofeld earlier in the series but they couldn’t because of rights issues so it’s pretty clear they were setting up the Quantum organization as the SPECTRE stand-in with Mr. White as the Blofeld figure, but you can’t blame them for jumping on the chance to bring Blofeld and Spectre back when the legal issues cleared up.
For me, I think it's very slow. The action isn't as exciting as the other Craig films. And I also think they dropped the ball with Blofeld. Blofeld being a 'brother' of sorts to Bond fell flat for me because It was never mentioned in past films nor did he seem to have a strong reaction to seeing him early in the film. It just seemed like it was tacked on in there. Also, at the time I was under the impression that this was his last Bond film and it just seemed like such a dull to end on. However, I do appreciate more after rewatches and after getting 'No TIme To Die" which is a more fitting final film for Craigs Bond.
I do think it’s the weakest of Craig’s tenure (I know, I know, I’m crazy, but I actually like QOS), but by no means do I think it’s bad. I like it well enough and I do think Craig’s movies might have the highest average score when evaluated as a whole compared with any other Bind actor’s collection. For me, Craig is 1B to Connery’s 1A and only bc Connery came first which is, admittedly, a little unfair to Craig bc it’s not like any of us have a say in when we were born. When it comes to “spy” movies, I’m willing to put these against any other franchise, even the vaunted MI series (which I find weirdly mundane in a series that’s often viewed as having “out-Bonded” Bond).
For me it’s the personal connection between Bond and Blofeld. I hated that. It soured the entire movie for me. Anytime you make a storytelling decision in a Bond film that’s previously been mocked by Austin Powers, it’s not going to play well.
Hell, I find Quantum to be the second best Craig Bond (after Casino, of course) so I understand your pain. Quantum had significant issues but had the most character growth of any Craig era film. By far Craigs best performance IMHO. Definitely not worthy of the hate it gets and I enjoy rewatching more than the other non-Casino Royale Craig films.
Fun Fact: Monica Bellucci - who has a small part in *"SPECTRE"* - had screen-tested for the role of Elliott Carver's wife Paris in Pierce Brosnan's 2nd James Bond film: *"Tomorrow Never Dies"* (1997), before the producers went with Teri Hatcher (who was 3 months pregnant when production began).
First of all I would like to congratulate you guys on the premier of Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1 as it was great to see you and hope you guys had fun and a great time🙏😁. Now talking about Spectre, I would like to start by saying that I enjoyed but not as much as Casino Royale and Skyfall🔥. I loved the desert action sequence and the plane action sequence in Austria in the snow. Christoph Waltz was amazing as “Blofeld” the antagonist as he’s such a brilliant actor. The rest of the cast was great as well such as Naomi Harris, Ralph Finnes, Lea Seydoux, Dave Bautista etc. Loved your reaction/analysis, take care and have a good one❤️
This Bond (with Daniel Craig starting with Casino Royale) was a reboot of the series. So this Blofeld is the canon one for this reboot. Also you guys skipped alot of the Bond movies, only watching 2 of each, you missed 1967 You Only Live Twice which was the first time anyone saw Blofelds scarred face. For most of this characters appearances in Bond films you never see his face just the white persian cat he is petting.
Fabulous reaction, Girls.. favorite parts were the synchronized popcorn toss at the start, Carly's comical, knowing looks about upcoming events 😜 ..but Dang girl.. that neck-popping is next level!! 🤯😧..Go Canamricans! ❤❤😃
I have not seen the new one, but I wonder what Cassie was thinking about those " knowing looks" while watching this back? Did Cassie turn up for the premiere of this on YT?
He keeps saying cuckoo to him because the cuckoo bird is known to leave their eggs in the nests of other birds so that they feed their hatchling. Said hatchlings are either raised with or push host eggs out of the nest. I learnt that way after watching this and didn't realise he'd been calling him a parasite until the next film. Layers 😉
Believe that James was wearing Persol sunglasses during the funeral scene in Rome. Steve McQueen wore Persols in The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) and Pierce Brosnan was in the 1999 remake. Perhaps it was a nice nod, tying all three actors together? I may be wrong of course.
First Bond movie I watched was "From Russia with Love" with Sean Connery and after that I became a hugh Bond Fan watching all movies multiple times. Daniel Craig is such a good actor and fits in the role of JB perfectly. Christoph Waltz is such a bad ass villain and did a fantastic job in this movie. Can't wait for your reaction on No Time To Die - you will love and hate it. 😆 For me it was one of the best bond movies ever made. Thanks for your reactions, love them! 🥰😍
The Daniel Craig Bond series is a reimagining of the Connery Bond series(my fav) with all of Blofeld's lieutenants been modern version's of Dr. No, Goldfinger, Rosa Klebb & Emilio Largo. Dave Baustita's villainous character is a throwback to Goldfinger's Oddjob. The Bond/Blofeld family connection in the Craig series also a modern take on the series with the two been related because in the original Connery series no such connection existed, while not a fan of that modern spin, I enjoyed the Craig series nonetheless.
This channel definitely has THE best format and editing of all reactionary channels. Every other channel they either blur too much, pan away from the actual movie, the sound is terrible, the picture is not centered on the screen etc. I can go on but everyone knows what I'm already referring to. A+ 👋 The only channel that comes a very close second to PiB is TBR Schmidt.
When Carly said she didn't understand his plan, all I could think of is Pirates of the Caribbean when the person asked "Do you think he plans it all out, or just makes it up as he goes?"(paraphrased)
I'm glad you guys really liked this one. I do as well. I think it gets a lot of very unfair hate. It was the only proper blueprint Bond film of the Craig era. All the classic elements are there. Not as good as Casino Royale or Skyfall but much better than Quantum and No Time to Die in my opinion.
@@istvanthehun2064 Strongly disagree haha. It’s my least favorite Bond film. Convoluted plot, very forgettable villains and terrible/disorienting editing. To each their own I guess.
I enjoyed Spectre lots of people didn't and it's a true classic bond movie. You will love the next one, No time to Die, we have all the time in the world Louis Armstrong being used is amazing and puts a tear in anyones eyes.
You guys didn't watch Thunderball or You Only Live Twice - which heavily featured SPECTRE in Connery's days (as far as I can recall). You did watch From Russia with Love which had SMERSH instead. SPECTRE was mentioned in Dr. No, but not a really prominent.
I love the Craig-movies. Although I think they are not really Bond-y. This one, though is. Most of them are generic Hollywood actionmovies, which is o.k. too. Awesome reaction guys!
A few years ago, on TH-cam, there was a whole community of movie lovers who shared their common passion with the help of popular shows for geeks (Collider, AMC, Screenjunkies, etc...). They all used to hate ''Spectre'' and I never understood why because it's my favorite James Bond movie. The one I never tire of watching. It's like a greatest hits of all movies in the series. The most beautiful woman in human history makes an appearance there (hint: she's Italian). The villain is one of the greatest actors. The other James Bond girls are real Princess Leia or Lois Lane (feminine, sexy and independent) and one of them is French (i'm French). And the conclusion suggests a future couple of lovers-spies which, at the time, revived a franchise admirably well. And for true cinema lovers, the long sequence shot at the beginning (the camera follows James Bond without ever stopping, without changing shots) must certainly be a record (apart from the film ''The Birdman'' with Michael Keaton). While I understand why ''Casino Royale'' and ''Skyfall'' are so popular, this movie (''Spectre'') is by far my favorite. All that was missing was the music of Hans Zimmer (who composed that of ''No Time To Die'') to send me to cinema paradise.
You can think of Spectre and No Time to Die as Daniel Craig's Bond operating at full potential. The first two films showed Bond as a young, powerful, and brash assassin. Skyfall showed us that Craig's Bond was aging and that it was time to rely less on brute force and trigger happy decisions. Spectre gives us the best of both young and old Bond. A calm, cool, and collected operative with a license to kill and, now, the wisdom and smarts to compliment his ability as a 00.

Casino Royale was pretty good but then turned to crap.
Madeline Swan is played by French actress Lea Seydoux, who also played the killer in "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" who got pushed out of the window of the Burj Khalifa.
"C" was played by the guy who played Moriarty in "Sherlock." Another great series.
That’s what people do!
He was terrific in Denial (2016) but wasted in Spectre in a thankless, obvious role. And his end was so predictable; as if the makers said “let’s just get this over with.”
And Hall in ep. 2 of Band of Brothers.
This is literally the first reaction where someone doesn’t know him.
He was not that great tbh.
Honestly I love when the two of you watch movies together, you guys are solid sisters
Solid, found the Canadian 😅
2 blondes in a pot !
Solid Sisters was my fav 90s pop duo.
These two make movies better! I fell asleep watching Spectre the first time I saw it, but not this time... Not only do these sisters have great comedic chemistry, but they get so involved in the spirit of the movies. Love it!
Léa Seydoux is so incredibly beautiful in this movie 😭
Ladies, the fight scene (and the love that followed) is an homage to the Orient Express scene from "From Russia with Love". That film is notable, for one reason, because of the fight scene between Robert Shaw's character and Bond. Amazing films, both of them!
I was surprised by the interruption, and hope that your hubby is better.
Loved watching the interaction between you two in this one.
I've grown to like this film, but it took many rewatches to get over the fact they made Blofeld Bond's stepbrother.
I wasn't thrilled with that at all, never mind Waltz was completely wasted in the part.
I just love your b&w slo-mo jump scares! Great reaction as always,hope your hubby is ok!❤
The villain in this movie is the same horrible nasty, sick villain in Inglorious Bastards movie. Great actor.
As always, a joy to watch with y'all, thanks for inviting us in! Glad your husband is OK.
Monica Bellucci. aged 50 here, was the oldest Bond woman. Pity she wasn't given more to do. Great actress, perenially beautiful, and with the right character, could have been one of the great femme fatale's in Bond.

28:16 in case you’re wondering what the sign on the door says: it’s German for „No entry for unauthorized personal“.
So fun fact.
Blowing up the Spectre base in Morocco won the world record for biggest pracitcal movie explosion.
Spectre stands out for several fact:
-Largest explosion in a single take in filming history and in Guidness World Record .

It stand out for having Monica Bellucci. Period. 😍😍
Actually it's 4 seperate takes edited to look like a onetake
And Mr. Hinx himself (Dave Bautista)
Seeing Max makes me think of Sherlock the series with Benedict - if you haven't seen it yet, quite the journey! Love the reactions!
Not Fleabag? ;)
Fun fact, parts of Blofelds speech before and during the torture scene were taken almost 100% verbatim from Colonel Sun, the Bond novel written by Kingsley Amis (the first author to do so after Ian Fleming died).
It's the only non-Fleming novel to be used officially in an Eon Bond film and there is a credit to the Amis estate at the end of the movie.
I think this movie's underrated! One of the best pre-title sequences in any Bond movie!
Nah, Golden Eye. or Casino Royale.
I love that opening scene in Mexico City. Beautiful. It’s actually a let down when the action interrupts it.
"You're a kite dancing in a hurricane, Mr. Bond", great line from a great movie. Also, Christoph Waltz as a villain never fails.
Agreed. I just wish that we had more of him(before he was killed off in "No Time to Die").
"I thought the Octopus was a Spider" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
love that yall are diving deep into the spy movies. LOVE seeing the channel progress over the years - great reaction as always
You two are just such nice and inspiring people. You deserve so much success!
Love how you guys ship Bond with the leading lady in every film, hoping this time he'll settle down. You just might have got it right this time.
It’s a nice reference to the first time we see blofelds face in ‘You Only Live Twice’ because he has the exact same scar on his right eye
I see cars like that all the time. There's an Aston Martin dealership in my home town. When I was young they used to let me sit in them.
Hahahaha - "I thought it was a weird-looking spider!" I'm dead. :)
Cassie, did you actually say, "Someone went to a lot of trouble to print those out...scrapbooking his head onto those..." Bwah-ha-ha-ha! That says SO much! 🤣
Was having a garbage Thursday night then this epic movie lands from my favourite duo.
Thanks Cass & Carly, you really made my day with this one. 😍😍

"And Léa Seydoux is just so beautiful." 🥰Love her so much!
That's the girl from Death Stranding.
It's a masterpiece compared to Quantum of Solace
In No Time To Die I think she looks much prettier, I see her more attractive in that movie, maybe because she is a few years older, and she looks much more like a woman.
It’s not unfair. I marathoned all Bonds past winter and Spectre is the worst one. It’s maybe one of the most dull movies I’ve ever seen.

I like this one. Not the best but definitely not the worst. Your reactions are almost legendary. Great video ladies and the popcorn party.
Super happy to hear Ben is doing well, 🫂💯🇨🇦
3:55
The eye roll was immaculate. 🙄😂
Max is from Band of Brothers. He was Hall and was killed in episode 2 when they took the guns, and Winters found him after he trip a wire and blew up.
So many now famous actors were from Band of Brothers, such an insane cast.
@@Irfan87same with the cast from Black Hawk Down.
23:42 - You should watch the "Sherlock" series, he (Andrew Scott) brilliantly play's the villain Moriarty - know's how to be creepy😄.
"I thought it was a weird looking spider" was the best line 😂
15:28 "I thought it was a weird-looking spider" 😂😂
Fiennes was great as a modern incarnation of M. Like how you see Bond's house and some of his personal life like in Dr No.
Dave Bautista did a great job as the assassin. A couple of other Christoph Waltz movies you may want to check out are, "Inglorious Basterds" and "Alita, Battle Angel". I am glad you two are going to finish these.
And Django Unchained.
Cassie has already seen IB.
@@putinscat1208 are you talking about the next Bond?
ALITA!
Christoph waltz was a bad villain in inglorious bastards and spectre
I have a bond with Bond. In high school someone said of me that I would become either a killer, or a priest.
Sciarra's wife is Monica Bellucci the actress who plays Jesus's Mother in the 2004 Mel Gibson film The Passion of the Christ @13:39
She plays Mary Magdeline
Whoa, hope the husband is doing well. Also, enjoying Spectre more the second time through.
Kincaid wasn't Bond's father. He was the groundskeeper for the Bond family. James knew him since he was a child, and they only parted ways after James' father died and James left to be with his new foster family.
watched all your reactions for the bond movies and this one sold me on the subscribe button.
It’s a multiverse. This is the Blofeld origin story for Daniel Craig’s James Bond. The next movie will be a rollercoaster ride 👍 you will love Paloma! 😜
Not a multiverse. Its just a remake.
That's the only good thing about the last movie IMHO.
@@vando6679thank you
Wyomi Reed and Michael Ironside are both Canadian-born. Reed was Dark Star Battalion in Top Gun: Maverick and Ironisde was Lieutenant Commander Rick "Jester" Heatherly in Top Gun. Manny Jacinto was Fritz in Top Gun: Maverick. He was not born in Canada, but lived there since 1990. His lines were cut from movie.
Hey sisters, Happy Canada Day! Daniel Craig does it again, kicks so much tail. Colin Mochrie from the show Whose Line Is It Anyway? is from Canada. Nice reaction.
Andrew Scott who plays C is so good at playing smooth, creepy, sociopathic, villains. He certainly was a scarily good Moriarty in the BBC Sherlock series. I wonder what he's like as a person. Sometimes actors get type cast, playing characters with personalities that are nothing like their own.
James Bond always reminds me of a line from a poem by an iconic Aussie Poet named A.B. "Banjo" Patterson. His image is even on our $10 note. My big sister gave me a cassette of his Animal Poems when I was a little girl. The line is "The more you shoot him, the less he dies." Which is definitely Bond. The next line of the poem is "Unless you shoot him between the eyes" it's about Feral Pigs.
A childhood trauma has also left me with a fear of guns. But my trauma wasn't as graphic as Madeline's. One night when I was 6 and my 17 year old favourite big brother who was my protector snuck out of the house. He went to visit his friend across the street who had a gun the police said would never fire. Tragically they were wrong, he accidentally shot himself in the head. The next morning after finding out what had happened, my world would never be the same again 😪. I'm glad that due to our gun laws there aren't many around. Because seeing a gun makes me shake uncontrollably.
I really enjoyed "Spectre". Not sure why it gets so much hate, I thought it was a really fun, exciting action romp and a fine addition to the series. The fight between Bond and Dave Bautista on the train is one of the best fights in the entire Bond universe, imo.
"It wouldn't be the first time." (Moneypenny, that's you.)
The explosion of the villain base is real, no miniatures or CGI, and it is the largest explosion ever recorded on film.
The strange thing is that after the start of this movie Mexico started having an annual Day of the Dead!
Hm? It's been an annual celebration since the 1500s
Need to mention this. It sometimes happens that you keep someone in the dark, not out of distrust or uncertainty, but to protect them from danger or to protect them politically so they can still declare plausible deniability. Bond is kind of a traditional knight errant, protecting the crown at all costs, and may have been protecting M by not pulling him into the loop here. Just a thought.
"I thought it was a weird looking spider". That's why I love you two. So real and not afraid to put yourselves out there.
I’ve been a Bond fan for over 30 years and I have no idea why this movie gets the hate that it does. I think it’s the closest we get in the Craig era to a “classic” Bond film. I love the score, I think Madeleine Swann is a great love interest for Bond, Dave Bautista plays one of the best henchmen in the entire series, and think Waltz makes a fine Blofeld. I think the biggest issue people have with the film is the retconning of a personal connection between Bond and Blofeld, but as these films represent a separate continuity I have no real issue with it. I wish they could have hinted at Blofeld earlier in the series but they couldn’t because of rights issues so it’s pretty clear they were setting up the Quantum organization as the SPECTRE stand-in with Mr. White as the Blofeld figure, but you can’t blame them for jumping on the chance to bring Blofeld and Spectre back when the legal issues cleared up.
For me, I think it's very slow. The action isn't as exciting as the other Craig films. And I also think they dropped the ball with Blofeld. Blofeld being a 'brother' of sorts to Bond fell flat for me because It was never mentioned in past films nor did he seem to have a strong reaction to seeing him early in the film. It just seemed like it was tacked on in there. Also, at the time I was under the impression that this was his last Bond film and it just seemed like such a dull to end on. However, I do appreciate more after rewatches and after getting 'No TIme To Die" which is a more fitting final film for Craigs Bond.
I do think it’s the weakest of Craig’s tenure (I know, I know, I’m crazy, but I actually like QOS), but by no means do I think it’s bad. I like it well enough and I do think Craig’s movies might have the highest average score when evaluated as a whole compared with any other Bind actor’s collection.
For me, Craig is 1B to Connery’s 1A and only bc Connery came first which is, admittedly, a little unfair to Craig bc it’s not like any of us have a say in when we were born.
When it comes to “spy” movies, I’m willing to put these against any other franchise, even the vaunted MI series (which I find weirdly mundane in a series that’s often viewed as having “out-Bonded” Bond).
I like it, but they wasted the Blofeld character. To find out Blofeld does all of this, out of jealousy.
For me it’s the personal connection between Bond and Blofeld. I hated that. It soured the entire movie for me. Anytime you make a storytelling decision in a Bond film that’s previously been mocked by Austin Powers, it’s not going to play well.
Hell, I find Quantum to be the second best Craig Bond (after Casino, of course) so I understand your pain. Quantum had significant issues but had the most character growth of any Craig era film. By far Craigs best performance IMHO. Definitely not worthy of the hate it gets and I enjoy rewatching more than the other non-Casino Royale Craig films.
Fun Fact:
Monica Bellucci - who has a small
part in *"SPECTRE"* - had screen-tested for the role of Elliott Carver's
wife Paris in Pierce Brosnan's 2nd James Bond film: *"Tomorrow Never Dies"* (1997), before the producers went with Teri Hatcher (who was 3 months pregnant when production began).
First of all I would like to congratulate you guys on the premier of Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1 as it was great to see you and hope you guys had fun and a great time🙏😁. Now talking about Spectre, I would like to start by saying that I enjoyed but not as much as Casino Royale and Skyfall🔥. I loved the desert action sequence and the plane action sequence in Austria in the snow. Christoph Waltz was amazing as “Blofeld” the antagonist as he’s such a brilliant actor. The rest of the cast was great as well such as Naomi Harris, Ralph Finnes, Lea Seydoux, Dave Bautista etc. Loved your reaction/analysis, take care and have a good one❤️
This Bond (with Daniel Craig starting with Casino Royale) was a reboot of the series. So this Blofeld is the canon one for this reboot. Also you guys skipped alot of the Bond movies, only watching 2 of each, you missed 1967 You Only Live Twice which was the first time anyone saw Blofelds scarred face. For most of this characters appearances in Bond films you never see his face just the white persian cat he is petting.
3:45 Love your expression, Carly‼️😂🤣😂👏👏
Fabulous reaction, Girls.. favorite parts were the synchronized popcorn toss at the start, Carly's comical, knowing looks about upcoming events 😜 ..but Dang girl.. that neck-popping is next level!! 🤯😧..Go Canamricans! ❤❤😃
I have not seen the new one, but I wonder what Cassie was thinking about those " knowing looks" while watching this back? Did Cassie turn up for the premiere of this on YT?
So sorry Cass to hear about your husband.
Sending prayers he is doing ok.
🙏🏼
He keeps saying cuckoo to him because the cuckoo bird is known to leave their eggs in the nests of other birds so that they feed their hatchling. Said hatchlings are either raised with or push host eggs out of the nest.
I learnt that way after watching this and didn't realise he'd been calling him a parasite until the next film.
Layers 😉
Believe that James was wearing Persol sunglasses during the funeral scene in Rome. Steve McQueen wore Persols in The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) and Pierce Brosnan was in the 1999 remake. Perhaps it was a nice nod, tying all three actors together? I may be wrong of course.
This actress, Lea, was in Midnight in Paris with Owen Wilson, highly recommended romcom.
Glad your husband is ok .
Big fan of the channel, keep up the amazing work. Love from Manchester UK ❤
Honestly I PMSL every time I watch your reactions, it’s more entertaining than the actual movie. Fantastic 😂
First Bond movie I watched was "From Russia with Love" with Sean Connery and after that I became a hugh Bond Fan watching all movies multiple times. Daniel Craig is such a good actor and fits in the role of JB perfectly. Christoph Waltz is such a bad ass villain and did a fantastic job in this movie. Can't wait for your reaction on No Time To Die - you will love and hate it. 😆 For me it was one of the best bond movies ever made. Thanks for your reactions, love them! 🥰😍
Fun fact about this movie both Daniel and Dave get injured fighting each other. 😅
“I mean this guy doesn’t want to die either. May be we could just come to a” *bond kicks pilot out of helicopter*
“Okay” 😂😂😂
Not checked all the comments - but the new Q is the voice of Paddington (Bear)
The Daniel Craig Bond series is a reimagining of the Connery Bond series(my fav) with all of Blofeld's lieutenants been modern version's of Dr. No, Goldfinger, Rosa Klebb & Emilio Largo. Dave Baustita's villainous character is a throwback to Goldfinger's Oddjob. The Bond/Blofeld family connection in the Craig series also a modern take on the series with the two been related because in the original Connery series no such connection existed, while not a fan of that modern spin, I enjoyed the Craig series nonetheless.
Casino Royale & SPECTRE are my two favorite Daniel Craig bond films
This channel definitely has THE best format and editing of all reactionary channels. Every other channel they either blur too much, pan away from the actual movie, the sound is terrible, the picture is not centered on the screen etc. I can go on but everyone knows what I'm already referring to. A+ 👋
The only channel that comes a very close second to PiB is TBR Schmidt.
The James Bond Girl Léa Seydoux (French actress) was also in Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol. Do you remember her?
If you remember ”old” Blofeldt from the other Bond movies? He has a scar on his right eye. This is how he got it 🙂. And he had a white cat aswell 😁
23:47 I wonder if C‘s „I’m glad you like it“ was sarcastic because he understood that reference or something else.
hahahaha Cassie's SOOO tough; "You wipe that SMUG smile off your SMUG little face!" 🤣👌
Good Job Cassie with the Tee-Hee train fight reference! Bond card renewed!
When Carly said she didn't understand his plan, all I could think of is Pirates of the Caribbean when the person asked "Do you think he plans it all out, or just makes it up as he goes?"(paraphrased)
You should do a reaction to the short video of Daniel Craig's 007 meeting with Queen Elizabeth II.
I don't know if you watched Django but Christopher Waltz's the doctor schultz in the movie. wishs your husband a speedy recovery
I'm glad you guys really liked this one. I do as well. I think it gets a lot of very unfair hate. It was the only proper blueprint Bond film of the Craig era. All the classic elements are there. Not as good as Casino Royale or Skyfall but much better than Quantum and No Time to Die in my opinion.
This one and Quantum are my favourite Craigs.
@@istvanthehun2064 My ranking of the 5:
1- Skyfall
2- Casino Royale
3- Spectre
4- No Time to Die
5- Quantum of Solace
@@AaronStark1993 ouch! Quantum of Solace is wonderfully directed, super-tight movie. Infinitely better than the egregiously apocryphal No Time to Die.
@@istvanthehun2064 Strongly disagree haha. It’s my least favorite Bond film. Convoluted plot, very forgettable villains and terrible/disorienting editing. To each their own I guess.
@@istvanthehun2064 Quantum of Solace and the words "wonderfully directed" are about as opposite as up and down. It's a complete mess in that regard.
Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson!!!
I enjoyed Spectre lots of people didn't and it's a true classic bond movie. You will love the next one, No time to Die, we have all the time in the world Louis Armstrong being used is amazing and puts a tear in anyones eyes.
You guys didn't watch Thunderball or You Only Live Twice - which heavily featured SPECTRE in Connery's days (as far as I can recall). You did watch From Russia with Love which had SMERSH instead. SPECTRE was mentioned in Dr. No, but not a really prominent.
I love the Craig-movies. Although I think they are not really Bond-y. This one, though is. Most of them are generic Hollywood actionmovies, which is o.k. too. Awesome reaction guys!
A few years ago, on TH-cam, there was a whole community of movie lovers who shared their common passion with the help of popular shows for geeks (Collider, AMC, Screenjunkies, etc...). They all used to hate ''Spectre'' and I never understood why because it's my favorite James Bond movie. The one I never tire of watching. It's like a greatest hits of all movies in the series. The most beautiful woman in human history makes an appearance there (hint: she's Italian). The villain is one of the greatest actors. The other James Bond girls are real Princess Leia or Lois Lane (feminine, sexy and independent) and one of them is French (i'm French). And the conclusion suggests a future couple of lovers-spies which, at the time, revived a franchise admirably well. And for true cinema lovers, the long sequence shot at the beginning (the camera follows James Bond without ever stopping, without changing shots) must certainly be a record (apart from the film ''The Birdman'' with Michael Keaton). While I understand why ''Casino Royale'' and ''Skyfall'' are so popular, this movie (''Spectre'') is by far my favorite. All that was missing was the music of Hans Zimmer (who composed that of ''No Time To Die'') to send me to cinema paradise.
