James Bond film: Spectre

[EJ]

Bond is such a weird franchise to me. I don't get it.

Bourne ---> Bond

That's kind of a stupid comparison though.

Jesus, Skyfall was a piece of shit. Worst Bond movie ever made. No one involved with the Craig era seems to have any idea what makes the franchise work. Ugh.

Nope. The people of RM have spoken.

Skyfall was fantastic. So, yeah, you're right. It wasn't mindless entertainment.

Jesus, it was dumb. From the 500 foot fall into shallow water to the villain who controls the world because computers to 'wait he wanted to get caught' to farmer Bond. It didn't even manage to do any of this stuff in a way that was kind of fun.

I did like the way they shot that fight with the sniper in the building tho (that was Skyfall, right?). And until he fell, the opening scene was pretty good.

Oh, okay. My bad.

Seems like the idea of a Bond movie is always cooler than the actual movies.

the force awakens ----> star wars ----> taken -----> bourne ---> bond

[Rangi Guy]

I never really enjoyed a Bond film until the Craig series

despite my love of the Bond movies, there is a lot of truth in this statement

Casino was incredibly strong. The second one wasn't as much, but continued to set up a mysterious force that was controlling the world. Then they dropped that to tell a story about a guy who was a mysterious force controlling the world. Good thing they ditched all that other stuff and didn't credit HIM with being behind all those events. It might have made the conflict compelling.

pfft, in bond world, there can be endless mysterious forces controlling the world all at the same time.

[bada]

I agree with McP they set up a larger conspiracy that never pays off.
