Spoilers ish yea guess they still are
JAMES BOND IS DEAD ARGH?!?!?!?! hence the title.
Nah of course he is alive, hes off to go stop Spectre by faking his dead, save the Russian & American & fall in love with various girls all while being dead or in a rocket. Thats about right isnt it. Yea lets go with that.
This was supposed to be Mr Connerys last Bond film, but even bigger spoiler alert he comes back after 1 film without him. We will get to that bridge at the time when i come to it. So this was his big send off he was going to finally stop SPECTRE (Waltz & all hahaha get it… im so funny).
Now this maybe a very good old Bond film however, no matter how hard i try i always zone out of the ending. When i first watched this film probably 14 years ago i was hooked in the ending & loved it & wanted to know what was happening. Second time i watched it & went ahhhh i see & after that point have never paid attention to the last ten minutes of the film since. Heres why. You spend all that time waiting all those films watching to finally see Blofeld & his cat & how Bond is going to take them down & save all of us forever. & the second hes introduced now i just zone out. I’ve had my pay off ive seen the man who will become folk law & one of the greatest villains in cinema history & thats that. I know that he gets away & that Bond saves just that day & the girl & stops the war but Blofeld will be back so i tune out once hes been reveled. I know that were going to do this dance many more times. His mystery has gone.
That being said i do love his pool of Piranhas. Someone had to do it first it may as well be SPECTRE & Blofeld. & in that one moment Bond changes cinema forever. Some very horrendous deaths fall to that Pond but oh wow is it enjoyable to watch. That isnt something i get bored of.
How did SPECTRE fuck up killing bond seriously poor Aki. Or did her contract just run out? Why then does the next exactly the same Bond girl have to be called Kissy? Love how its always the girls that properly come to Bonds aid in this one. He’d be dead with in 3 minutes otherwise. You know poison car chases nicking documents brilliant.
The ninjas are properly cool in this film especially when they all drop into the volcano, for the time that was very very good.
Volcanoes as a base yes lad thats cool. Why cant we do that now if they could do that then. Bit off.
I like how he just though ahh im going to fit in that astronaut suit & not get found out thats all going to be fine & dandy. Nope no way.
Thats all there really is to say about this one Bond gets his win he gets the girl but not the one he really wanted which is sad & everyone goes home happy ready for the next one. A film that everyone should watch again just for the way it set up the rest of Bond for years to come
