The gunfighting in the drab cement silo (Bond in shirt sleeves and braces) feels quite protracted and mostly by numbers. It doesn't stand up well against the Cuba/ Paloma action sequence of earlier (Bond in tux).
Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.
When Fleming wrote the books, six foot (183cm) was considered tall in GB- his own height, btw. These days, you'd have to add a bit to that. Average male height in the UK is about five foot eight inches (172 or 173cm) and Craig is in that region. He's not tall, but he's not short either.
"I'm going to tell you a story. About a man. His name was Bond. James Bond." That's a great final line. Quite 'meta', what with Bond being only a story.

Mine too!
Bond gets shot. Like, really shot. A lot.
He’s a bit shorter. My mother is 5’8” and she was taller than him. Flat shoes.
Now comes the best piece of Music by Zimmer!
It‘s epic on the CD!
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
Interesting!
you are much shorter than your mother as well 😂😂

It starts well. I think it overdoes the swelling towards its climax in the end.
Oh yes.
I have to agree, it's the best on the CD.
So, he's in Tom Cruise territory then?
"You have all the time in the world." That's a neat pay-off.
Asp9mm certainly is 😂😂

Back to the film- and once again, the lack of chemistry between our leading couple is apparent.
Dalton would have been sobbing his heart out during this Zimmer track!
I’ve met them both. I’d say they’re about the same size. Cruise is a bit stockier, but height wise, not far off.
M quotes Fleming quoting Jack London.
That "I shall not waste my days" eulogy is classy.
Put on your glasses, Barbel!
haha! you betcha!
And he probably would have put all his anger into another balloon 🤣

Cruise is regularly mentioned as being short, Craig less so (except in comparison to his predecessors).
The music just got 1000% better!
Ha!
oh yes! I am in tears!

That’s cos he goes out with women that aren’t 6ft plus.
"I'm going to tell you a story. About a man. His name was Bond. James Bond." That's a great final line. Quite 'meta', what with Bond being only a story.
It was such a nice touch to the best 007 movie ever!
We just came back from Berne that day and watched the german Premiere!

Well that’s it. Bond is dead. Probably in more ways than one. A brave new future. I’ll probably just look back from now on.
