James Bond: Spectre

As a Bond film I thought QOS was very poor.
It lacked all the classic Bond film ingredients

The plot was poor.
There were no gadgets
There was no memorable theme tune
The car chase was poor.
There was no charismatic villain
There wasn't enough totty.

I don't agree, just illustrates how different people's tastes are. There wasn't a strong story line, but that is no first for a Bond film. The villain was one of the very best - Matthieu Amalric - one of those actors who is permanently watchable. The Bolivian general, also great. The plot, like a Bourne film, was fast paced, and kept moving. Olga Kurylenko (was that her name?) just stunning. Who wouldn't give her one? Some of the best dialogue in any Bond film. Craig's best outing as Bond. I find I can watch it again and again. Weak points - the crashing Dakota was too CGI, and the car chase was far too choppily edited. Can no one learn from Bullitt? Apart from that an epic Bond which imho will like OHMSS which everyone used to say was crap will be regarded as among the best.

Re A View To A Kill
I watched Bond doing man love with Grace Jones and he is just saving the tail end Charlie girl from Charlies Angels now. I think he will shag her next.
I think its highly realistic. There is another bottle to open

Good lad! Finish the crate..!

He does hold on to the rope for an impressive about of time.

This would have been a nice little edit to the start of QoS

Casino Royale ending edited together with Quantum of Solace opening

The landlord at my local said to me yesterday, "That Bond villain from the last film was in here the other day, got completely pissed. I can't remember his name."
I replied "Javier Bardem?"
The landlord replied "No, he was just drunk. He wasn't abusive or anything."

Take a bow

Next week on ITV its one that splits opinion
The Living Daylights. New Bond, great Aston Martin. Everything made by Philips - and remember in the 80's it was ok to own a Philips TV
Pierce Brosnan polarises opinion as some think he's too serious, too dull.
I'm sort of on the fence with this one.

My fave Bond and my fave Bind film.

They could have made better use of what they had. Gemma Arterton is very hot indeed I think but she didn't look great in QoS. Seemed to be wearing a ginger wig. Plus she was hardly in it. The other one was pretty hot also.

Better than the totty in Skyfall. Although the new Monneypenny is nice.

Wow...there is more than just me that likes TD! He was certainly my favourite until Daniel Craig took on the role. To me he was the same get on with the job rather than the endless cheesy lines. Roger Moore made bond into a carry on film.

Remember The Living Daylights ITV this afternoon.

I would point out that the muddled politics in this one came from a time when err things were different
I have lunch at 1pm and a bottle afterwards
Sundays don't get much better than this

Thanks for that just sat down to watch it.

Dalton was a great Bond plays him very much how Fleming wrote him.

[civicduty]

Aston Martin with Outriggers, rocket motors, button operated snow spikes and missiles, brilliant. That's the type of car I want Bond to drive, can't imagine it's what I will get out of Spectre though.

Oh and an self distruct function, ace.

funny how opinions differ .I won't watch him I think he is incredibly wooden.
I thought Lazenby was ok but he got slaughtered.

Except for the Lada police car that can have it's entire floor cut off from the body by a laser and yet the brakes still work.

Didn't relise you would would be looking for documentary level of realism and factual portrayal of laser car cutting. It's a Bond film I expect a bit of license to be taken with the action sequences.
