[Merged] Bond 23: SKYFALL

[Madchester]

look if they were going to make a half ***** Bond movie...I'd rather they cancel it

A Peter Morgan script is as far away from "half- ***** " that you can get.

Daniel Craig is a garbage bond. I don't know why people like him. He is fugly and does not fit the Bond profile. The last movie was crap.

+1

DC looks like a chimney sweep playing a gay men's underwear model.

Oh... since they already brought out their best spy to solve a theft of water in a previous Bond, I wonder what they'll do next? Send him out to find the missing Great White Bat?

Wow... just wow.

imho DC was the best thing to hit the BOND franchise since Connery. I guess it has a lot to do with whom you grew up with or first saw in the role.

PB added nothing to the series. What a Nancy boy. Totally unbelievable in the role.

I for one enjoyed the edge that DC brought back to BOND

Peter Morgan wrote The Queen.

In her entire lifetime, the Queen's never conducted a single interview. So it was mastercaft of Morgan to write the Queen's screenplay and flesh out HRH as an actual human being.

Wasn't "Quantum of Solace" written by some well-regarded writers?

Agree about "The Queen", though. Maybe he can turn Bond into Bourne and get it back on track. That's what I'd expect from the author of "The Queen".

Quantum was so boring.

Agreed; we didn't get past twenty minutes into the movie before we turned it off. If Bond is going to continue down the QoS route I honestly couldn't care less whether they ever make another one.

There eventually be Bond Movie made because they make a lot of money. Bond is a franchise that is popular worldwide. When the financial mess is cleared up, there will be another Bond Movie.

The problem is that MGM is relying on one movie franchise to support the entire film company. What else has MGM done besides the Bond films?

And yes, Quantum was boring.

very nice... but why in this old thread?

[spike1128]

Instead of Bond always going after criminals in 3rd world/corrupt countries in the world. MGM should really make a Bond film about Wall Street, how they are criminals, and trying to overthrow the British government. Bonds takes out the American bankers just for the heck of it.

That will get MGM's fortunes going.

Remember the 2007-8 WGA strike? They had to complete the script before the strike deadline in order to film Quantum in time for a Nov 2008 release. When I saw QoS and noticed the lack of dialogue compared to CR... I suspected the strike was to blame.

Craig finally admitted the strike affecting the script when promoting TGWTDT in December: http://collider.com/daniel-craig-qua...oblems/130951/

On these forums, I remember people complaining about the strike ruining Heroes.... affecting the late night talk shows... but surprised no one connected the dots about it affecting QoS.

I don't know about everyone else but that teaser was boring. They got to try harder to get me in the theater.

I think DC makes a really great bond. The last one that took place down Paraguay was not very good but that was not his fault. He makes a great gritty bond, and has the muscle and toughness to actually support the role and add a degree of believability, which some of the previous bonds lacked. That's my opinion and I am sticking to it!

Teaser was showing most of the earlier filming in London, Scotland, and Shanghai.

Only very brief glimpses of the Istanbul and India shooting from the last two months.

The big rumour floating around is that Ralph Fiennes character will become the new M replacing Judi Dench's M. Either Dench's M retires or is killed in this film. (possible spoiler)
