Designer1 Posted November 1, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 1, 2021 Off to see the new Edgar Wright movie Last Night in Soho tonight. Trailer looks excellent and I've always been a fan of his movies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldeneye apart, I can only remember them as 'Friends titles': The one with Rupert Murdoch / The one with Robert Carlyle being bug-eyed / The one with the invisible car 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on Disney Plus for anyone that subscribes. Yeah, really liked that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Bombshell? Or her best performance in I, Tonya? She's a very good actor in the right movie. She's a brilliant actor. She's superb in I, Tonya 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAD is one of the shittest films ever Craig is meathead Bond, a sad departure for the character imho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here I liked it first film but then expected them to develop him in suave sophisticated bond that we all know and love... And they didn't... They left his as the miserable broken bond and just broke him a little bit more each film, it didn't really work for me Acting chops are perfectly fine, in that regard he's a very good bond but in terms of writing I don't think they did enough with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less of the gadgety, cringey shit and more of a grittier killer, which is what Bond is. No surprise to me that Spectre was one of the weaker Craig Bonds because it had taken a huge step back towards that tired old Bond model. The best thing that happened to Bond was The Bourne Identity. They basically ripped off that style for Casino Royale and it was all the better for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Agree and disagree I would say that QofS is one of if not the worst bond film ever because it takes the Bourne formula to the extreme, its one action scene to another with some awful writing to try and tie it together That said I also think the Bourne films are horribley overrated, the action in them in particular, the shakey camera can get in the bin but then you'd see all the sins in the acting and editing, John Wick for example blows them out of the water for fast brilliantly choreographed action that's also as clean as a whistle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted November 1, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 1, 2021 Quantum of Solace is a rubbish film, evidently because it was being made during the writers strike, but in a series that contains Die Another Day it's like Citizen Kane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, it was the best (Oscar) movie of whatever year it was for me and I don’t know anything about the story or have any interest in ice skating. The dark humour was right up my street though and there were some fine performances, including best supporting actress I believe. Can you all take any more Bond talk to The Boring Thread please? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 IMO if gaming gets its own section then TV and films probably could do with one too, maybe music aswell Both would be more popular than gaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Posted November 1, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 1, 2021 Just saw the French Dispatch. Lovely to look at, but basically three below average short stories stitched together into a film. Would not recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Late to the party , but Dune last night 20 mins in and I was kinda regretting being a heathen and not having read the books and regretting not going to see Venom 2 instead and then once they'd set the scene and introduced the various players and got newbies like myself up to speed , it just took off and I really enjoyed it , visually it looked great , the story arc was decent , though I'm struggling with the concept of a 400 m long worm but I'll let that one slide ... looking forward to part 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely his worst film, but as Chindie says it's a masterpiece compared to Die Another Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
