Any villain tasked with killing Bond would assume this and also bring grenades and flamethrowers and titanium nails for the tires and so on, to destroy that damn Bond car. Villains get Bond cornered in his car, they put tons of bullets into it, of course it’s bulletproof. It’s all ok, just don’t expect too much from team evil in the script.īad/less stellar: Some of the action feels repetitive or silly. There is a bit of Blofeld, James and Felix have to deal with a Ken doll type of killer, and Rami Malek’s “Safin” shines more by using annoying villain voice than by having an interesting backstory. So much progress in tiny details?! What’s next? A non-white, non-straight James B? Team evil is less present or let’s say less progressive. So James is put into a sandwich of modern and super efficient spy ladies, he doesn’t have to “romance” them and hey, gadget master Q played by Ben Whishaw is allowed to mention a male date when team good invades his home. I don’t say that there was no male gaze when giving her that dress, but it felt much less sexist than with Bond “girls” in the older movies. While some might question her fashion choices when entering a building full of villains, i personally think that her limitless confidence and lighthearted personality resulted in THAT dress. Of course it doesn’t end in real oposition and so the new team gets to work with the help of Felix from the american spy stuff and on Cuba we meet funny but super efficient spy lady Paloma. Her character could have destroyed James at one point and i was just blown away. I knew too little about “Spectre” from 2015 and even watching a Bond-movies recap video didn’t prepare me for the female 007 magically portrayed by Lashana Lynch. You must in fact gather MORE focus and attention for the final 10-20 minutes bc it’s so well done and closing a book that reshaped Bond in 2006′s Casino Royale.Ĭast: Almost nothing to complain, and wow do the spy ladies deliver a face to face performance no single bullet or witty line of dialogue behind that of Bond. NTTD runs smoothly, even the finale is almost perfectly balanced with action and emotions on steroids. The film has a very nice structure, i sometimes dislike overcomplicated narration or chapters within these movies that are too long or melodramatic. Mission Impossible and Bourne are solid franchises but they can never surpass the legacy or gravitas of Bond. Having the combination of a melancholic touch with new and fresh elements (at least i can’t remember any female 007 agent before in any of these movies) sets the final product aside from the rest. A lucky team delivers not just a contract work and yeah Daniel wanted more money, but the oldschool vibes still mix with the sensation of a new chapter. The film failed to reach the same heights as previous Bourne efforts, and so, in 2016, Damon returned to the role of Bourne in Jason Bourne.Good: While it’s the fifth *impossible*mission for Craig, the film never shows sign of fatigue, neither within the plot nor on the side of the cast. Bourne fans, however, had not yet had enough of the franchise, ultimately leading to an attempt to kick off a spinoff series starring Jeremy Renner as yet another government operative fighting for his life in 2012’s The Bourne Legacy. By 2007, Damon had completed his trilogy of Bourne films with The Bourne Ultimatum and gone on to other endeavours. Initially known as a series of spy-thriller novels by author Robert Ludlum, the international adventures of Jason Bourne have gone on to become a highly lucrative film franchise with Oscar-winner Matt Damon as the titular mercenary.īeginning in 2002 with The Bourne Identity, Damon helped to revolutionize the spy-thriller genre, which in turn helped to breathe new life into other similar franchises like Mission: Impossible and James Bond. Bourne spinoff Treadstone will release internationally on Amazon Prime in 2020.
