    Returning to the same hotel elevator featured in LTK.

    The best sequence in the film imho, at least until the explosion/building collapse.

    The yellowy rinse used for much of the film's look is here.

    like the collapsing building in CR
  • Shady TreeShady Tree London, UKPosts: 2,965MI6 Agent
    "Where all the other Bonds end, this one begins!" That Moore-era publicity line could apply to the Craig era in that CR06 ended with a collapsing building...

    I wonder if the costume desigern had enough work to do? :D

    When Craig is running, it looks like the double did it and they imposed Craig‘s face only.

    I do find it amusing that the parade hasn't closed down and the police called to the site of the collapsed building. Nah, just keep going with the parade...

    The show must go on!

    The helicopter fight has to measure up to the FYEO PTS. The John Glen era had always delivered on shots of aerial stuntmen playing baddies plunging to their death... here we don't get that when Sciarra and the pilot are booted out.

    The music effect when the helicopter barrels... a nod to the TMWTGG slide-whistle?

    Excellent PTS- the drum music’s about the best in the film, there’s intrigue and spectacle and a bit of humour, and Craig gets to use both his expressions.

    The song could have been so well! well

    Good title sequence, poor song
  • Number24Number24 NorwayPosts: 21,704MI6 Agent
    Ahh .. the song:

    /I feel sorry for myself/
    /because they made me a castrato/
    /A castrato!/

    The titles sequence is very effective in the way it includes images from past films/figures, like the OHMSS titles. Also, Kleinman is giving us an idea of how he might have put together an OP title sequence.

    I don't like his voice. I much prefer Jane Zhang's cover of this.

    There's a lot of names on the writing credit- not since TB have there been so many

    Fiennes is superb
  • Shady TreeShady Tree London, UKPosts: 2,965MI6 Agent
    Ralph Fiennes is fully M. Having problems with 007, as did his predecessors... but with underlying respect. Andrew Scott is brilliant in this.

    Since when does Bond have to report to Q for a medical?

    Why can't she just hand him the box? ?:) ?:)

    I don‘t like Fienne‘‘s trousers and shoes.
    Besides that he‘s perfect M

    I really like the friendship between Bond and Moneypenny developed during this arc of films.
