Very interesting post on imdb forums reg skyfall (MAJOR SPOI

Post by shaken not stirred »

Don't read this topic if you're gonna see it, you have been warned.

Now from a user who's seen it posted this on imdb (skyfall is a ripoff of the dark knight and dark knight rises)

At first, don't get me wrong, I loved the film but they really copied the whole structure of TDK and even some similarities with TDKR. This contains spoilers
1. Opening scene, close to the style of Christopher Nolan's openings, it's a chase that introduces the villain (bad guy in general nit necesserly the main villain) the bad wins, just like the opening of both TDK and TDKR.

2. Silva character is both funny and crazy, he's sarcastic and mad, when the airplane comes he plays loud music, his way of speaking, conversation with bond is exactly like Jokers.

3. The whole thing that Silva planned that they capture him in order to complete his operation is literally what joker did in the TDK.

4. When M speaks in the court and says a phrase from a poem while we see bond, the sequence style is exactly like the ending of the TDK when Gordon speaks to his son while we see the police chasing batman also it's similar when Alfred reads Rachel letter after she dies and we see Wayne.

5. Silva real face when he takes off his teeth is very close to two face

6. The fact that James Bond became like this because of something related to his childhood is same as Wayne

7. The main villain is one of them, he knows them and as strong and smart as bond just like bane from TDKR, theres a line that is almost exactly taken from TDKR when M says "whoever is doing this, he knows us, he's from the same place bond is raised in, a place that doesn't exist, the shadows" not exactly because I forgot it

8. The ending when they killed M, something unpredictable just like when batman died in TDKR but thanks god batman didn't die after all, while watching it I told myself if they copied the structure literally M wouldn't have died but instead made everyone think so, but no, she died, which is a bit different.

9. Bond house is same as Wayne house

10. Silva seeking revenge because he Experienced pain in every possible way is same as Bane motivation,.

11. Silva saying how he took over the island because he created chaos and when chaos occurs people stop thinking, is same conversation joker had with batman about chaos

The only odd thing is despite this he still liked it :shock:

So now james bond is james bond

It took three movies eh?

So the next movie will be the first actual James Bond film with Craig according to all the people who've explained the gunbarrel's place at the end?

I doubt we'll see 3 more films with Craig so he's spent probably 60% of his career as Bond in the process of becoming Bond. Kind of humorous.


I thought the first was the reboot: "Now he's James Bond!"

QOS: "Now he's REALLY James Bond!"

Skyfall: "Now he's really VERY really James Bond!"

Ridiculous.

--I know I'm talking a lot of smack, I'm still pumped for the film and delighted it's getting such great reviews....

....but the whole, 'Third Part Of The Reboot Series Where Bond FIIIIINALLY Becomes Bond GB At The End 'Cause It's The Third Of The Reboot' just makes me grooooooan.

Hope the film makes me forget so I can just enjoy it for what it is.

I equally hope EON is done with this reboot crap and we can FIIIIIIIINALLY FIIIIIIIINALLY FIIIIIIIIINALLY have the Bond we love back, with all its elements, with everything back in the right place. --Not with Bond's d*** coming out of his ear because it's "original".

Another one

Since this is on the net, most of you will not agree with me that Daniel Craig is not fit to lick Lazenby's boots. Stop reading now and go back to listening to lady gaga. For the rest of you--

This post isn't going to focus on the fact that he sucks, so much as that he and the rest of the Bond filmmakers now are full of it.

I watched an interview for Casino Royale where Craig was saying how he wanted to make sure it wasn't "Austin Powers," which implied other Bonds were. Let's be honest here, Casino Royale lacked all that is 007. No gadgets/Q (which pisses me off an extra amount since they had just gotten John Cleese for the role), no women in the opening sequence, and a Bond that takes himself so seriously, and has the constant look of Ben Stiller's "Blue Steel." He was basically a cold blooded killer.

Quantum of Solace--same thing.

Skyfall--villains in white suits, gadgets (and Q is a bloody hipster?!), a plot where he gets "killed". These ringing any bells?

If he's back for a fourth one, you can expect to see a safari suit as he battles the evil SPECTRE!

Point being, you can't fight the Bond formula/legacy, which is what they tried to do with Casino and Quantum. This doesn't mean they are going to achieve anything near greatness with Skyfall, but they are falling into those old traps again. Hopefully we can expect less James Blonde in the future.

Fleming is probably turning in his grave now. CR and QOS took almost everything that was Bond out. Both films didn't even seem like Bond films. Can't speak for Skyfall yet but I'm sure it will lack also. I hope I'm wrong about it.

Right from the first teaser trailer that was shown, many people were saying that Skyfall looked more like Batman than Bond. And I recently saw an article where director Sam Mendes says that Skyfall is largely inspired by Nolan's The Dark Knight.

As for this whole mess with the reboot, why bother fixing something that isn't even broken to begin with? The real problem, as I've said time and time again, is that Barbara and Michael couldn't handle the classic formula properly, and were struggling for ideas. Michael has been wanting to make a film about Bond's beginning back when Roger Moore left the role. Years later, he finally got his wish.

And if they absolutely insist on doing a reboot, then at least try to do it properly. All these bizarre character changes don't make any sense for the prequel. And all this nonsense about Bond becoming Bond, and then suddenly not quite being Bond just yet, and then finally becoming Bond again, as supposedly being symbolized by the constant tinkering of the gunbarrel, is just ridiculous. Did the producers even take the time to thoroughly plan out this prequel?

I always see people asking "When will the gunbarrel be back at the start of the film?" The answer to that question is whenever Craig finally graduates James Bond school.

Filmmakers full of it I think that can be agreed on with all the Oscar talk. Getting Bond back I think is how a lot of old fans have felt since 2006.

The one after these two was soo goood I can;t add a thing to it.

Chief of Staff, 007's gone round the bend. Says someone's been trying to feed him a poisoned banana. Fellow's lost his nerve. Been in the hospital too long. Better call him home.
