SPECTRE Review Thread

[HD Canuck]

The hackers now want 1 million dollars, I mean, 1 billion dollars...

"Mwahahahaha...."

[Kevin Holly]

I hope they don't change the movie because of the hack.

If people choose to read spoilers, that's on them.

[Snicket]

At first the Hack was kind of amazing because it pulled back the curtain and let you see that this thing people were worshiping is actually a giant, flaming, car wreck, I mean, Jonah Hill is amazingly stupid, and they tried to market "electricity" for spider man.

But this script leak stings because someone worked really hard on their art.

All those notes on the screenplay and the drafts leaked are months out of date. Filming is going as planned and the screenplay problems have been sorted out to everyone's satisfaction.

That's from a very good source.

Which source?

I sure hope they fixed that script because it is TERRIBLE.

Seriously, this will end up being one of the worst Bond films if they haven't already done some radical rewrites.

I agree. I mean, the leaked script not only mentions SPECTRE but also

[Show spoiler]brings back Irma Bunt (who killed Tracy Bond in OHMSS), yet never refers to Christoph Waltz's character as Blofeld? The connection was so obvious that the execs commenting on the script called him "Blofeld".

I'm convinced the whole reason the third act was a dud is it's largely fake...

We all know Sony is in deep doo doo, but as long as it doesn't keep it from distributing SPECTRE a year from now -- and more importantly, as long as the checks to MGM & Danjaq/Eon clear -- it probably shouldn't affect the production itself. But then I'm surprised Kim Jong Un hasn't targeted Danjaq/Eon already; after all, every day he looks more and more like the villain in DAD (edit: maybe mixed with Skyfall).

Why would Sony execs be commenting and reviewing a fake script that was never meant to be viewed by the public?

Maybe the third act actually just sucks, which is why they were trying to fix it. Wouldn't be the first time a Bond movie fell apart in its third act.

Plus the fact that

[Show spoiler]Christoph Waltz's character is supposedly Bond's foster brother who orchestrated all the events from Casino Royale through Spectre just to get back at him because he felt his daddy didn't love him enough

is easily the worst development I've ever seen in any Bond movie.

+1

[Show spoiler]That's the first thing I thought of, because I just watched Dirty Harry the other night.
It's been a while since I've seen it.
Tonight I'm watching the sequel, Magnum Force.

It's not fake. It's just completely out-dated. The "fixing" has been done.

I can't say this will mean it's any good but all involved are now happy with the screenplay.

[R3P0]

Fake or not who cares lets just let it all play out and see what happens the fact they are interconnecting all the Craig Bond movies here is great its nice to see a flowing story over the course of 4 films.

[Monterey Jack]

PLEASE be careful about spoilers, everyone...I don't want this wrecked for me a year out because of some stupid Sony hack.

But you can avoid this thread. That's what I'm trying to do (not very well, obviously )

I don't know....i'd have to see how it plays out on screen but the Mommy Issues of Skyfall really ruined that film for me and that right now is the worst Bond movie for me, regardless of the cinematography which i loved
