The film was a reboot, re-introducing concepts to the series, and in a masterstroke, even the gunbarrel was 're-introduced' in a smart and stylized way leading into the dramatic opening cords of 'You Know My Name'. The gunbarrel's placement worked well in Casino Royale. Give us Craig doing something truly bonkers during an action sequence and give us that Bond theme! It's long overdue!Įdited by DamnCoffee, 15 December 2014 - 12:22 AM.
That part of the Bond theme should NOT be blasting over the credits. We've had the Bond theme littered throughout the past 3 films, but aside from Silvas capture and the last half pf 'Pursuit at Port Au Prince', the Bond theme has never prominently featured in a Craig action sequence. (I've been a Bond fan for nearly 20 years and I've only seen Bond films in the cinema from Die Another Day onwards so I have yet to see a gunbarrel on the big screen that hasn't been 'tampered' with.)Īnother thing I feel Craig completely deserves is a truly bonkers Bond theme moment. I have no problem if Skyfall delves deeper into Bonds psyche and past and I have faith that Mendes will tackle that well, but the gunbarrel placement would surely make sense to be at the beginning this time? I completely get the reasoning behind it being at the end of previous films but I feel many people, myself obviously included, are crying out for Craig to swagger across that screen and open the film.

He has a full MI6 team, and he's a fully established and 00-Agent. They appear, moreover, to be the only passengers on the train.Any preference on the placement this time around? It worked in Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace and Skyfall in terms of the story, but the one thing for sure is that if Skyfall's ending signified one thing, it's that Bond is back. Madeleine and James’s train journey comes with vodka martinis in the dining car followed by a colossal woodwork-splintering punch-up with a beefy henchman. but it is all part of the escapist effect. It is of course ridiculous that the pair manage to get away from there to Tangier in such stunning changes of outfit without worrying about suitcases, money etc. When he recognises Bond in the room, he leers: “I see you! Cuckoo!” – a French expression which in fact is to have a darker significance, revealed at the end.įrom here we go to Austria and this is where Bond is to encounter his main amour: Dr Madeleine Swann, stylishly played with just the right amount of sullen sensuality by Léa Seydoux. Waltz’s chief is an almost papal presence of menace, upsetting all his cringing subordinates by saying and doing next to nothing, and photographed in shadow. Then he is to infiltrate the horribly occult headquarters of Spectre itself – a wonderfully old-fashioned “evil boardroom” scene for which Mendes manages to avoid any Austin Powers/Dr Evil type absurdity. Director Sam Mendes contrives a stylishly extended continuous tracking shot to bring our hero into the proceedings and it isn’t long before an outrageous set-piece is in progress with a helicopter repeatedly looping the loop while 007 vigorously punches the pilot and a fellow passenger.Ī clue salvaged from the chaos puts Bond on the trail of Spectre, taking him at first to Rome where he has a romantic interlude with a soigné woman of mystery, played with distant languor by Monica Bellucci. We start with a gasp-inducing action sequence in Mexico City for the Day of the Dead. The script by John Logan, Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and Jez Butterworth runs on rails with great twists and turns and gags. He is particularly vexed at the news that a sleek new car has in fact been reserved for 009. “That all sounds marvellous,” he purrs when advised of some footling new procedural restriction, adding later: “That all sounds lovely.” Yet there is also an elegant new dismissive tone that he introduces into the dialogue bordering on camp.
At one point he simply snaps the plastic handcuffs the bad-guys have put on him, with sheer brute strength. He has flair, sang-froid, and he wears a suit superbly well by bulging his gym-built frame fiercely into it, rarely undoing his jacket button and always having his tie done up to the top. That great big handsome-Shrek face with its sweetly bat ears has grown into the role. He is one of the best Bonds and an equal to Connery. Craig showed they were wrong: and I hope he carries on now.

Is this Craig’s last hurrah as Bond? His somewhat tetchy remarks in interviews preceding this movie – indicating a readiness to quit – oddly mirror the tetchy media comments that greeted the news of his casting almost 10 years ago.
