Red Letter Media on Skyfall

Post by stockslivevan »

I watch their reviews all the time (well, at least for those I care about at all). Here's the latest one for Bond, I think BJ will agree with the comments at the beginning with "Javier Boredom" and such.

This was good, really good. :cheers:
One complaint is it was too long for a video clip like this, its like dudes get to it already.

Funny how one guy says he never watched Bond movie before yet seem to say he saw QOS :?
Their serious review IMO demonstrates the weakness in the film for general audiences, they talk about where it shift gears to Bourne, then Batman, then home alone. Still they said it was entertaining which is what most people will care about so that makes it better than the last few although I think if they trimmed it with a good editor a lot of complaints about it dragging might be gone.

One of the movie forums I frequent got in to a discussion about spyfall (it was about another movie initially) and a heck of lot thought it was boring , good opener then it dragged the rest of the way, took to long to introduce the villain and nothing new was really happening. New for Bond maybe but not to the audience.

I'm it Jay on that it didn't seem too long, that it flowed nicely. I never looked at my watch on both viewings so I wasn't really put off as the movie continued as it did.

It's funny that Jay mention's Craig's running. Here's a hilarious blog about how all the 007s after Lazenby look funny when they run:

"Having only seen CASINO ROYALE (2006) once, I cannot completely vouch for Daniel Craig’s running skills. I don’t think he was a complete embarrassment, but he did seem a little top-heavy. Like a barrel running around on little chicken legs."

I know a few who though it dragged after the first act.

Running Craig looks funny, so does Brosnan but less so, Dalton I don't have a bad impression. Moore avoided it when possible

Craig sort of runs like the T1000 from Terminator 2.

Dalton runs like a fat girl? I've read some insults in my time, but that one's new to me. And I think Craig runs like the Juggernaut from Spiderman, what with the way he hunches over...
