Based off of what she wants to Hamlin from the season finale, its almost as if she's worse than Saul in some aspects. Even Saul wasn't serious about wanting what she wanted to do. I don't she will leave Saul, I think Saul will leave her because he realizes he ruined her and doesn't want her to continue to follow him down this path.
Its not even really a subplot, it has nothing to do with the film.
Connery wanted to stick it to Cubby (they had a huge feud back then) and McClory gave him much more creative control of NSNA, which Connery never got with EON Bond movies.
Jack Lord who played Leiter in the original, wanted co star billing with Connery and was not brought back. I don't really know why they couldn't get the same guy to play Bond after that, but the producers never wanted Leiter to come close to the importance Bond had in the movies.
In many Bond movies, the pre credit title sequence has nothing to do with the rest of the movie. While Goldfinger involves Bond destroying heroin, the plot of the film does not involve drugs
I am curious how season 4 will explain why Navarro killed Helen. Navarro liked Marty and Wendy, so he probably didn't like the idea of Helen trying to take over the Casino.
Goldeneye is not better than The Spy Who Loved Me, but its better than the rest of Moore's movies.
1. The Spy Who Loved Me
2. Goldeneye
3. For Your Eyes Only
4. Live and Let Die
5. Moonraker
6. Tomorrow Never Dies
7. The World is Not Enough
8. Octopussy
9. The Man With the Golden Gun
10. A View to a Kill
11. Die Another Day
Regarding John Barry, very true.
Dalton got roasted back in the day because audiences didn't accept him after a decade plus of Moore. I wish he got to do more Bond films. I always see the ideas they float around for his third Bond movie with the story taking place in Hong Kong with nano technology. Parts of Goldeneye were taken from that script and as we know GE was written with Dalton in mind.
Dalton could pull of a serious Bond while still being in a Bond movie, something Craig could never achieve. Dalton would have been perfect for today...
Die Another Day is actually a dark movie for the first hour. James Bond getting tortured and gets abandoned by MI6, then gets his 00 status revoked. Its actually a good movie until they get to the ice palace, then all the CGI driven, invisible car hell breaks loose.
Pierce wanted to do a serious, dark Bond for Casino Royale, but with a reboot I understand why they had to go with a new Bond.
The film version of Bond does interject humor into the movies. The problem is it can get over the top, as it did a times in the Moore era. Regarding Die Another Day, even Moore said they went too far with the invisible car, lol. The wind surfing CGI was a bigger issue or Hale Berry saying, yo moma.
The literature version of Bond, where he beats women and get so drunk he can barely stand up, wouldn't have sold even back in 1962, hence the added humor and suaveness.
Since LTK is such a big change for the series in terms of atmosphere and feel, The Living Daylights feels even more like a classic Bond film. I love Goldeneye, maybe a tad bit overrated because its the first one I saw in theaters and the its the first one after the hiatus.
I think Brosnan gets a bad wrap as Bond, especially by Craig fan boys. His movies were bad, but you came blame Puris & Wade, Roger Spottiswod, Apnew, Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson for that. His Bond was fine, he acted and looked like James Bond should.
The movies were bad but they felt like Bond movies. Die Another Day in 2002 was the last time we had a Bond movie that felt like one, all of Craig's are just generic action, Bourne ripoffs.
It is crazy to think, going back 40 years to 1980, there have only been three really great Bond movies released, with a couple other good ones imo.
There is a lot to digest in this thread, but I'll try to cover all the points I want to make.
Five years between Bond films is ridiculous. As stated already, this is the second longest gap between movies, only the six year hiatus was longer because United Artists/ MGM had money problems and many thought the franchise was dead at that point post Cold War. Production has been a catastrophe for No Time to Die - waiting around for Daniel Craig, changing directors, injuries, explosions, script re-writes, the list goes on and on.
Audience feedback will dictate where Bond goes post Daniel Craig. The reason why we got a hard edge reboot was because things went off the rails with insanity in Die Another Die (invisible cars, CGI wind surfing, gene changing technology etc.) If NTTD doesn't do well, like many of us think - especially after the crap fest that was Spectre, I hope EON goes back to the traditional Bond formula of standalone movies.
Tying these movies together as a Craig saga is for casual movie fans, not Bond fans. EON has gone all in on obsessing with Bond's background, feelings, family, etc., which no one wants to see. Blofeld being Bond's step brother was an all time low for the franchise. Barbara Broccoli is obessed with Daniel Craig and I bet she will delay Bond 26 for as long as possible so she can offer up another contact that Craig can't refuse.
Michael Wilson wanted to do a Bond background story detailing how Bond gets his 00 status as far back as when Dalton took over in the Living Daylights in 1987, but Cubby shot that idea down. I still like the idea of exploring Bond's rise to 00 status and how he turns into James Bond, which is while even though I dislike the rest of Craig's movies, I still love Casino Royale.
Martin Campbell did a great job directing his two Bond movies and CR is an enjoyable movie. I'm not going to like CR less because of how the series deteriorated as it went on with Craig.
Because anyone that has a brain knows that a foreign virus that is causing a global Panic is not Trump's fault
You couldn't be more wrong every article talks about a global pandemic and Saudi oil Wars
