SKYFALL Thread - Newman's Score, What a Drag
Re: SKYFALL - New Bond Film - Official Details
I'm excited...I like the title. Craig Bond films are 2/2 for me, so I'm hoping Skyfall will be as good as the others!

Like what I see so far.

I'm most excited to hear that Stuart Baird will be back in the editing bay. Hopefully now we won't see a reprise of the hideous shakey-cam editing sceme of Something Of Boris. And Roger Deakins as DP is always a good sign.

Not that it's going to take much either...starting with an actually DECENT song of which this series hasn't produced in a long time (I'm looking at you Adele!!).

Naomie Harris is also in the movie...her appeal continues to elude me.

She won't be Moneypenny, though, leading me to believe she'll be absent for the third movie in a row.

Re: SKYFALL - New Bond Film - Official Details
Yeah I usually share your enthusiasm MJ but Harris doesn't do it for me.
I wish this series would stop turning its back on some of the hallmarks of its first 30 or so odd years in the movies but that's just the way it is so I'm resigned to it. "Serious" is "in", clearly.

Me either but she'll be serviceable enough I guess.AndyDursin wrote:Yeah I usually share your enthusiasm MJ but Harris doesn't do it for me.
I totally agree. I'm long since tired of this trend we've seen for at least the last decade where just about everything has to be so damned grim, dark, and serious all the time.I wish this series would stop turning its back on some of the hallmarks of its first 30 or so odd years in the movies but that's just the way it is so I'm resigned to it.

Yeah, the odd joke or glib pun would be refreshing.AndyDursin wrote:I wish this series would stop turning its back on some of the hallmarks of its first 30 or so odd years in the movies but that's just the way it is so I'm resigned to it. "Serious" is "in", clearly.
Still, I prefer the seriousness of the Craig films to the awkward mix of torture scenes and Moore-esque slapstick in Die Another Day.

Re: SKYFALL - New Bond Film - Official Details
So Sam Mendes is claiming the film will have some humor, and will also reintroduce some iconic Bond characters. To that I can say -- I'm surprised, and hopeful!
Also (SPOILER)
Ralph Feinnes is supposed to replace Judi Dench's M, who gets knocked off in this film

That's all good news. Nothing against Dench herself, either. She's a wonderful actress and all but it's time to shake some things up.

Re: SKYFALL - New Bond Film - Official Details
More than anything, and this was touched on in one of the previous posts, I'm looking for a proper villain. I love the Craig iteration of Bond, but both movies so far have lacked a true adversary. They were more concerned with rebuilding the world and repositioning the modern version of Bond inside it. Now that they've done that, he needs a nemesis with one name and one face. Bardem is such a promising casting; it sounds like they're really trying to strike a balance between modern Bond and classic Bond. Can't wait.

You can say that again. Worrying about the fate of the Bolivian water supply didn't exactly have me on the edge of my seat in the last one. lol.They were more concerned with rebuilding the world and repositioning the modern version of Bond inside it.

Re: SKYFALL - New Bond Film - Official Details
Great looking trailer -- but my (extremely faint) hopes for anything other than a humorless, pretentious, self-important Bond outing seem to have been dashed. Pretty much what you'd expect from Sam Mendes handling this material...with Craig one again serving as the stone-faced brute Bond.
I hope the film delivers more than that -- we'll see!!

Re: SKYFALL - New Bond Film - Trailer is Out
I'm excited, but then again I loved CR and QoS. It actually looks Dark Knight-ish in a way.
