I've seen it twice now and my opinion still remains the same.
Daniel is excellent on all levels. The first half of the film is better than the second half. Waltz is definitely under par, his character is not mean enough.
CR still remains the best for me, I think Skyfall is a better film, although Daniel excels and looks gorgeous in Spectre, Qos last.
They've left it so that Blofeld and Hinx could both return.
I think Daniel said that it would be madness to make two movies in a row.

True BB ! Look it my sigi : it's a screencap from the trailer. In the movie it was inversed : Daniel on the left and Léa on the right.bumblebee wrote:Question for you. Train scene. Was there a kissing scene in the trailer with Swann that wasn't in the final film? I feel we saw her back against the wall with him coming at her from the right of the screen, yet in the movie he came at her from the left? Or am I imagining it.

Thought so, thank you. I wonder why they did that?

I'm amazed that you all observe and notice all these tiny details...how do you guys do that?? Maybe I focused too much on the PFA to pay attention to anything else?Sylvia's girl wrote:I noticed a couple of scenes different in the trailer to the film, such as the "overdue holiday" line was filmed at a different angle, and Waltz's line "And so James, here we are" was delivered differently.

Got me here. Never was an pfa woman, but he changed that.
The top notch acting in the Weisz/Craig/Spall 'Betrayal' is emotionally true, often v funny and its beautifully staged with filmic qualities..

Like he´s entering the hotel in Morocco. I´ve seen the film twice and noticed it twice!
Just got back from seeing the film at IMAX. I did really enjoy it, but will definitely need a second and third viewing.
I have to agree that the third act fell flat and dragged on a bit too long, though I did genuinely forget about EST's scar, so that was a nice surprise at the end when he turned around.
I know that there are more Bond references in this than you can poke a stick at, but honestly, the film didn't feel that Bond-like to me at all. I just sat there thinking, I know all these people are in a Bond film, but this really doesn't feel like one to me at all. I can only assume that this is because the film is such a departure from the tone from CR, QoS and SF that the lightness and humourous moments really stood out to me. I think I laughed more in the first 30mins of the film than I did in the last three combined.
A much better score from Thomas Newman this time round, but I still can't help but wonder how much better the film would have been if they brought back David Arnold. I didn't particularly notice WOW during the title sequence, mostly because I hate octopus' and that was way too many tentacles for my stomach to handle.
And I couldn't help noticing that Christoph Waltz ankles got more screen time than Daniel Craig's bare chest. What happened to him saying 'of course I get my kit off'!?
