The Film Thread

just saw Solace and while OK to watch its really not as clever as it things it is. Way too preachy as well

 

Anthony Hopkins really has been typecast as well

I can't remember the last film where Anthony Hopkins didn't play Anthony Hopkins.

5 Bonds in, dont know how Alan Partridge did it over a weekend

 

I assume the Connery Bonds were good back in the day but just find them quite boring though do look very nice for its time

Connery was good but there's probably a fair few elements that have dated badly (I'm sure it's connerys bond that slaps a couple of women about) the films and the villains were good, bringing back spectre is a smart move IMO you only live twice is my favourite bond film

Lazenby wasn't as bad as people make out, the film isn't too bad but iirc feels long, Ben if at the end of the film is probably the best bond scene that no one remembers

Moore goes daft and gets overloaded with gadgets and women which is probably what people think of when they think of bond, scaramonga aside though the villains were poor and the stories unremarkable and the blaxploitation in LaLD won't have aged well

Daltons bond is really underrated IMO he basically did what DC is so celebrated for doing now, made it a bit gritty, problem was they are instantly forgettable films

Brosnan had the superb goldeneye which I'd guess for a generation was their first cinema bond film but they nearly killed the series with cgi, die another day is easily the worst film out of the lot and his other is right down there too

Craig is great but benefits from them being really good well written films, casino royale and sky fall are brilliant films, stick him in a shit film though like QoS and it no longer matters if he's better than any of the others, it's still a shit film

A comedy from New Zealand that doesn't involve Bret or Jemaine ?  Hmmmm.

Brum, you got it going on. 

The ladies will get to know your sexuality when they get to know your personality.

I said, Brum, you got it going on.

Not in a gay way, just in a "hey mate, I wanted to say that you're looking okay, mate."

Bang on.

When I think of Bond, I think of Brosnan even though I prefer Craig. it's because Brosnan was the first Bond I knew and grew up with.

Alos agree that Die Another Day was awful. Absolutely dreadful film.

Mission Impossible : Rogue Nation

6/10

53 year old Tom Cruise jumping around like a 10 year old is getting a bit boring now

Simon Pegg did his best to make the film funny and the British woman in it was fit though

I also don't get how Jeremy Renner an actor nearly 10 years younger than Tom Cruise looks twice as old as him

The miracles of plastic surgery i guess

Watched Straight Outta Compton. Fairly disappointing to be honest. Far too long, some glaring inaccuracies, and pretty sceptical about the bravado of Dre and Ice Cube.

Soundtrack must be worth a cinema visit, though.

Been meaning to get along to see it and I'm trying to stop your review preventing me. :)

Yeah the music is great. It's not awful, but I was just a bit disappointed as I really wanted it to be amazing, and it wasn't unfortunately.

Think "From Russia with Love" is one of the picks from the Connery bonds. Very underrated and Robert Shaw is a good villan.

Never really got into the roger moore films, but "nobody does it better" is the best bond tune.

Brosnan was bond whilst I was growing up, so I also identify him in the role initially. Likewise GoldenEye is very good and Famke Janssen is quite possibly one of the reasons why I'm attracted to beautiful brunettes who I know will eventually crush me (emotionally if not physically).
