The Bond movies are good. They've been the standard. But the Bourne Trilogy with the exception of "The Ultimatum" eclipsed them. Bourne renounces and replaces the state conscience with his own, telling Conklin at the end, "I'm on my own side now." Fantastic. Skyfall sounds like it has "borrowed" from the best added glitz and glamor. I wonder, does 007 renounce his beloved M.? I'll have to wait and see.
I gotta agree. Bond movies are anglo flag waving boobie shows with cool gadgets and cars. The Bourne movies transcended the jingoistic paradigm with that quote above.
After watching the trailer, I'm very unenthusiastic. The word play wasn't very informative nor enthralling. And the quote at the end was the definition of lame.
"some men are coming to kill us. we are going to kill them first"
really??? who writes these scripts? a 5 year old? But I guess the majority of America will love it for that reason.
no loose ends from quantum of solace come to mind. whole new storyline?
ReplyDeleteHuge Bond fan. Very Excited.
