Spectre

[Hoopz]

Saw this yesterday.  I thought it was very good.  I'd put it up with Skyfall and just behind Goldfinger as the best ever.  Minor plot holes like all movies like this but definitely a great Bond.  Anyone else see it yet?

[dkersten]

Yeah saw it Saturday.  I liked it.  Decent ending to this version of Bond.  It was kind of nice having all 4 movies tie together into something bigger. 

My only complaint was how predictable it was.. The twists were too soft and the foreshadowing was too blatant.  A worthy bond movie...

The back story on Blofeld was good if not like Goldmember.

The fact that he's Bond's step-brother doesn't suit with me at all and suffers the classic troupe of reboot syndrome, where the villain has to somehow be @#$%ing related.

I see that JJ isn't the only guy who knows how to screw with the equation.

Use a spoiler tag dudes.  Some of us haven't seen the movie yet and Tapatalk displays your text whether I want to see it or not.

Use a spoiler tag dudes. 

+1

...but on the bright side he just saved me $15.50

[voltz]

Sorry about the spoiler, I'm still trying to get used to how the system works here.

Btw, why should you pay $15 for any movie to begin with?  I always tend to go during a matinee.

I think a big part of it is the quality of the movies that your favorite actor was in.  I doubt anyone would say Timothy Dalton and that's probably because his movies weren't the greatest.  I like Connery, Craig, and then Moore.  Craig is certainly more like the Bond in the original books.

I'd put Dalton ahead of Moore. And I'm not just being contrary. I like his two movies especially the second one.

I loved how tongue-in-cheek Moore's Bond was.

Moore's Bond vs Jaws were highlights for me.

As with all franchises, the real films began and ended with Sir Connery.  Everyone else who took on the role was just some doofus trying to do a better job and failing at it miserably. 

That being said I'm not a huge fan of the Bond films regardless.

While I loved Connery's Bond, Roger Moore had that air about him, a dashing jetsetter who just happened to be involved in the spy business. Each Bond is [probably] a product of their times, and so Craig's Bond reflects where we are, Moore (in retrospect) where we were.

It was a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- film.

 Great film.   Loved it.

  I really loved how this movie presents the problem we are facing at hand,  in this present day.    The super powers are uniting to form a Singularity.   A global entity...   One that is most likely wicked in its ways (Hence how it got to power, and has grown in power).   

 We are in the final hours... of a full on lock down,  that will make China's internet law and human rights... look like a day at the beach.
People will be silenced, erased, kids taken away, beatings, rape and torture.. to suit the agendas.    Much of it has been written into law already.   And a lot of it is already being instituted in some shape or form.

 While global cooperation in some ways could solve certain problems... it could also become a very dark nightmare... in the wrong hands.

I have a hard time trying to watch certain older Bond films.   The technology aspects are quite corny.

 However, I really loved Roger Moore films.   Especially  "A View to a Kill".

 Roger was fun, witty, funny.   Charismatic.  Great presence.

 Timothy Dalton ?  I cant recall those movies being all that memorable.   He seemed kinda Boring... and out of place.
 Pierce Brosnan - Seemed a little better than Dalton.  He was a monotone actor... but did OK, pulling some decent films.

 Danial Craig -  Admittedly, I wasnt a fan initially.  However, there is a certain depth and believably to his character.  He really pulls off the acting well.   The films were far more realistic..  but do often lack some flair and fun.   They did have more heart though..  and that was something that was missing from the previous Bond films.   Craig actually seeks to connect with woman,  rather then merely have a quick fling.


 Any interesting ideas on whom they should pick for a new bond?  If the series continues...

Saw it yesterday, and was pleasantly surprised about how good it was. It didn't blow me away, but it was a solid action film, and better than Skyfall (which was massively overrated IMHO).
