that movie also has a ton of character development. i realize we're many decades and several bonds removed from it tho

i went to one of those REgal 4D showings and it was really dope for Star Wars, but made absolutely no sense for Wonder Woman.
why should the seat rock unless you're in a vehicle or a sex scene like really. why does smoke appear for no reason

i went to see It Part 2 in 4DX and i don't know if it made the awful movie better or worse that the 4DX malfunctioned and everything started going off at once (scent, smoke, mist, seat rocking, etc.)
― Murgatroid, Friday, 17 September 2021 18:22 (two years ago) link
anyway, all of 4DX's "scents" going off at once is particularly pungent

lmao at "or a sex scene"

General agreement with piscesx, I might rank it 2 rather than 3 but yeah 3 out of 5 top notch Bonds is a good record for Craig easy; he had a great run. Very much flew by, Fukunaga is just a solid action director in combination with the overall production machine. Smartly front-loaded trailers they had in terms of what was from where in the film. My sis was with me and it's the first film she's seen in a theater since COVID hit -- loved both going back and the film, so hey!

I will say doing A Full Series Rewatch as we did over the course of last year and this (along with all the commentaries and special features and etc) served watching this well, there are several deep cuts. (And one utterly obvious one.)

best since casino royale easy while not quite as excellent (but cr feels like lightning in a bottle at this point)

the most visually striking bond film since… idk. the sam mendes films were often gorgeous but this one goes even further imo
― STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Saturday, 9 October 2021 03:26 (two years ago) link
and the hans zimmer score was mostly him on a tour through established bond themes but that’s exactly what i wanted to hear. hearing the strains of the ohnmss theme… what a dream

Yeah that was a series of nods I wasn't expecting. But I did love it.

there were a number of subtle tweaks that I hadn’t expected, and for all of the “oh no, it’s been script doctored to be funny” doomsayers about phoebe waller-bridge’s inclusion, I thought the dialogue was pretty crispwhat’s the record for longest intro sequence in a Bond movie before the title card and theme drop? this one seemed pretty long

The longest easily.

only one "fuck".
violence mostly not grisly or graphic, but there are young ppl in danger. lotsa car chases. one scene of Blofeld with no eye patch

There are approximately 90 minutes of footage of the hero firing machine guns into human beings

that describes just about every Bond film made in the last 30 years
― Gardyloominati (Neanderthal), Sunday, 10 October 2021 02:18 (two years ago) link
the Ana De Armas cameo might have been my favorite bit about this. going from nervous and socially awkward upon meeting Bond and transitioning into smooth, assured, confident and in-charge as the mission begins and then shit starts hitting the fan.....she makes the best use of her short screen time.

i) not iircii) I would not show an eleven-year-old Goldeneye, but I didn't ask
(also I saw the last movie and didn't remember all the continuity stuff; someone who was five years old at the time might be even more bemused)

196 people died in You Only Live Twice. suffice it to say people dying is a staple of Bond films.

License to Kill was unusually over the top violent, probably inspired by other movies of that ilk that were growing popular in the 80s.
I only saw it 5 or 6 years ago and, daaaaamn. definitely wouldn't have been ok with that as a kid.
Living Daylights not so bad.
