— ‘you’re sentimental about him.’
oh we are sooooo back. while i did enjoy quantum of solace… the editing, the cinematography, the pacing with the perfect build-ups and slow-downs and the beautifully balanced plot depth while keeping the character depth that was all lacking there can be found here, executed so well.
something i have really been loving in these films is watching bond’s dynamics with the people around him and in skyfall even more. i loved the playful back and forth he had with q so much and i cannot wait to see it again, and his psuedo-mother dynamic with m is at an all time high. even the dynamic that was developed between bond and raoul silva was fascinating to watch.
the action scenes throughout this film?? incredible. all of them. the motocycle chase followed by the train scene?? the underground sequence too!! and not to even start on everything that happened at skyfall. and all of them tied together so well that it felt purposeful and like we were pushing the plot forward rather than just random action sequences stuck together like in solace.
i’m not sure if i liked it more than casino royale but it is definitely close and EASILY above quantum of solace (although i do miss camille). also it was particularly interesting to finally watch this through because it is the first bond movie i can remember experiencing the release of and the hype around, despite being completely uninterested at the time (oops 🫣 but at least i’m locked in now)
ALSO BISEXUAL BOND IKTR
