And u come to a CZcams comments section, good luck.
+Milos Pantic no ralph only fits on the spectrum of sharp distinctions. Also, there is a severe lack of kung fu panda reviews on his channel.
Me to Ralph.😪
I love your vids in the UK [were I live] Sam smith is huge
Bond pointing a gun at a mouse and saying "Who sent you?" is one of the funniest things I've seen all day
Bum bum
“After I blew him” Oh my God, this dude is just the best
eating sugar no papa yup it was funny
He blew him like Michael Fasbender blew that clarinet.
He’s thrown in some pretty hilarious little gay jokes about himself. In the terminator salvation review he super casually said something about the T-1,000 actor being great at something, then casually said “and in bed” and you could barely tell he said it. Comedy gold. I wish so badly that Ralph made more reviews like these. They don’t have to be about horrible movies either he could do great movies and still tell hilarious jokes.
Ralph is a funny guy! That part threw me completely off guard and gave me a good laugh.
If Jamie Foxx was in this movie, it would've been called specre.

Idris Elba said that he doesn't want to do Bond, because he doesn't want to be remembered as the "Black Bond"
W P You sure? Seem like a petty reason because frankly I'd love that!
I mean, Blade wasn't considered like "the black dude who killed vampires" wasn't he? I don't say that to be insensitive but I'm really scratching my head here... 😮
The Charakter James Bond was invented as as a white british man with blue eyes and black hair. Enough People went apeshit when Craig was casted, cuz he has blonde hair, and for these insane Fanboys that is already some sort of Sakrileg, since all the actors before him fitted that description somewhat. Casting a Black guy in the role will make them go insane and no matter how good of a performance Elba would give, he would forever just be referenced as the first Black Bond.
I also don't want him as Bond, but because he is to old. They need to cast someone end twenty to early thirty.
Angelina Jolie's character in wanted is supposed to be black, Ben Affleck played a hispanic man in Argo, Johnny Depp played Tonto, John Wayne played Ghengis Khan...but yeah, a black Bond would be a travesty lol
+The Bandog But nobody said that Bond should be portrayed by an Asian lesbian Muslim. The only major difference between Elba and every other Bond is his race.
+The Bandog "Do you think an Asian lesbian Muslim James Bond would work in films?"
I literally said that nobody is asking for this.
"How about a white Black Panther?"
Well, seeing as how T'challa being African is kinda important for his character, being the king of an African country and all, that would be a bad move. James Bond is a British secret agent who's race doesn't really factor into anything.
"Or a Hispanic female Joker?"
Well, again, the Joker's race was never a really important part of his character, his skin being bleached white after all. Also, the Joker has been a woman before, in alternate universe stories.
"Why on Earth do people think there ought to be a black Bond?"
Nobody just wants a black Bond. We want Idris Elba as Bond. His race is secondary to the fact that he is a great actor who could portray the character well. You're the one fussing about the guy's race.
"James Bond is a weirdo in this movie. To be fair, he's always been a weirdo. We just kind of ignore it because he's a badass."
Sounds about right.
To be honest , I don't usually like opening sketches, I prefer when the reviewer just goes straight into the review... But that opening made my day, its just a perfect parody of overblown James Bond openings.
I bet you would love Nostalgia Critic’s sketches :)

This review is weird because I've seen this movie before but I don't remember half the clips he showed wow this movie was fucking forgettable
I also don't remember writing this comment. I'm starting to think I just have memory problems
Explod1ngNinja I remember renting the Carrie remake, but I barely remember anything from the movie... Same with transformer 4: I recall that some designs where really cool, but that's really it...
I remember most of this movie, especially some weird shit like Blofeld going into James mind for some reason, that was fucked up even for a James Bond movie! I know that most gadgets in these aren't real, but sheesh!
i remember having someone over to watch movies, and they brought this movie i never thought i saw before, and as we started watching it, i realized i knew what everything was, and felt like I was having some sort of panic attack because i couldn't for the life of me remember seeing the film.
Why don't i have a name for this film? Because i forgot what film this was again, or what it was about. Basically, this movie must be the worst of the worst when it comes to being memorable.
That intro gets me every time LMAO!!
DASH right 😂
List of James Bond movie with a better opening than Spectre: Everyone of them, Goldeneye for the Wii and Metal Gear Solid 3 despite it being not even a james bond movie
Turkish airlines Pictures XD
Also, that outro.
0:08 lost it
The worst part about this film is how they picked ‘Writing On The Wall’ over Radiohead’s ‘Spectre’.
Mars Radiohead's version is infinitely better in context of this opening
Even fucking Alan Walker's Spectre would even be better than that shit they used.
That's cause Thom Yorke is not gay enough
The Bond producers want songs specifically for the movie which are made at the time. It’s stupid I know
the producers asked for radiohead to do the opening song, but they didn't wanted bc too sad

Heya RalphtheMovieMaker. Not too long ago my dad had passed away.

C.C why poesy?
Actually, about that intro.
The song was originally done by Radiohead, and it was titled after the movie. They rejected it cos it was "too dark" or something. It doesn't really have that "badass" vibe you were talking about, but it's a hell of a lot more of a Bond intro song than Smith's. And it's a pretty good standalone song too.
i'd argue the Timothy Dalton bond films were the first attempt to make it "realistic" its a much darker Bond, unfortunately people weren't ready for it.
Tom Gallagher - Second Hand Media he and Lazenby are the greatest. Only actors to bring human emotions to Bond while still being a bad ass
Shame that Dalton only made two movies, He was the closest to Flemings Book Bond. Licence to kill is the Best adaptation of a Fleming story despite not being based on one of his storys.
Yeh I didn't like how he dismissed the 80s there, yes Moore's films carried on being mostly camp (Although For Your Eyes Only was pretty serious) but Dalton did two good entries in the late 80s so it wasn't a complete write off and Brosnan's films weren't too bad either.
dalton was a damn solid bond, he deserved more flicks, hes better than most of the rest of the pure shlocky ones
I guess with Dalton its a case of less is more, to be fair to the Bond producers they did actually offer him the role immediately after Sean Connery (He would've done OHMSS) but he was only in his 20s and thought he was too young since Bond was spose to be 40s. Imagine if he had taken it though it would've derailed Moore's turn and then the canon would've turned out a lot different.@@KaladinVegapunk
Choosing Sam Smith's song of Radiohead's is like choosing a segway over a Harley Davidson
Damn right
So, the right choice then cause who the hell wants to hear a crappy ass Harley all day long?
Ngl I thought Radiohead's song was boring af. Less an improvement than a lateral move
Jimmy Padilla Really? I found the instrumentals and lyrics much better.
Correction, it's like choosing a segway over a sexy Hayabusa.
I live in Mexico City and I gotta clear some things up:
1.- That parade wasn't a thing until this year and barely anyone went to it.
2.- This city is packed with beautiful architecture, particularly where they shot the film. You can't see it because the entire opening sequence is more brown than most early 360/PS3 titles.
3.- There were multiple instances of corruption involving the Mexico scenes and it's obvious that they approved them to improve the image of Mexico considering the dissapearance/murder(?) of 43 teachers, the drug wars and multiple problems. Not that it helped.
And also, it is really a shithole.
I'm sorry you live in that shithole.

Lets be honest , some places are really nice, but yeah, form the majority of the city, it's a shithole.

I read in an interview that Daniel Craig would rather slash his wrists than play Bond again.
wonder how much you'd have to pay him to make him slash his wrists
Lil Miss Anime Red Riding Hood Can you blame him?
He also said he bullshits a lot in his interviews and speaks his mind without thinking. When someone asks after a long 8 month shoot if he wants to do it again he says no at that point in time. Stop buying into the media trying to force controversy and make you dislike the guy
I get that the media is all fake news now days Primitive Spngebob, but at the same time you could tell that Craig didn't give a shit in this film
Well in one interview I saw he said filming this was the most fun he had filming a Bond film but who knows
Quantum of Solace is a tough watch, every single scene where they're talking gets cut abruptly to do so stupid chase/fight scene. It borders on painful. This is the problem with the Bond franchise now, too much action. One of the most memorable scenes from Goldfinger, for me, is when Bond goes golfing with Goldfinger to switch his ball and put a tracking chip on him. They just talk and feel each other out, we see beneath the surface of what Goldfinger wants everyone to see when he gets angry with his poor golf game and starts cheating. You know, it develops characters and moves the plot along. If that scene was shot today it would have ended with them beating each other over the heads with 4 irons after a chase on high speed golf carts, then M would come in and say "Now we have no leads, but go here for no reason whatsoever."
That was only a problem with Quantum of Solace
Quantum of Solace is like that because around the time it was written a lot of writers went on strike, they received the script 2 hours before they went on strike so the production team was left to do a lot of the rewriting themselves. So instead of waiting for the writers and not knowing what they were doing they padded the film out with action scenes because they don’t need writing.
Not really. Casino Royale and Skyfall didn’t even have that much action. Even Spectre isn’t too action packed. It’s just Quantum’s problem
"EVRYWHEH!!!" I hate how hard this got me, every time, damn you Ralph. Another crazy nuanced criticism, keep it up man, love these.
Can someone explain to me why in every Bond movie he gets captured but they don't kill him right away so he ends up getting away. Everytime.
Because logic is no go in Bond (films)^^
Villains love to monologue.
If you need an answer to that question then Bond films aren't for you,. infact you clearly aren't an earthling cos everyone knows why that trope exists so stop attention seeking, its a film not a documentary the hero has to survive is why.
@@optimisticwhovian1726 No, there are fictional stories where the hero loses or dies. But Franchises named after their characters have that problem of never killing them. Which leaves the question: Why should I care then?
Yes obviously not every single hero survives, no need to take me so fucking literally just so you can point score but as a general rule they do. @@samlerf

Fake Snack Snyder is dead now
Radiohead did a fantastic song for 'Spectre' but it got rejected because they're not marketable enough right now.
SPECTRE was the cinematic equivalent of having to complete half a dozen fetch quests to get to the final boss, only for those items to be completely useless and then the final boss fight ends through a cutscene
I’m assuming when that dude said “he’s everywhere” it was in reference to Charles Stiles and his million cameras
To be fair, the original James Bond started semi-grounded, it only got silly with Goldfinger, but even in Goldfinger, it was really clever movie. The villain has a laser which is used to: cut metal. They do that today. The gadgets involve a GPS tracking device the size of a lighter, they make that shit today. His car has a GPS navigation device, they make that shit today. The plot of that movie involved the use of a dirty bomb to create economic chaos, that shit is still relevant today. Even when they were being silly, they were still ahead of time, which makes the movie interesting to this day.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one to notice the anachronisms in that movie. Funny how it predicted all that shit though.
That opening song lol!
Mustafa Ali XD
Another reason: They turned Blofeld into another Aizen and gave him the suckiest motivation in Bond-villain history.

... Fuck this.
The lack of 'intrigue' was what did this movie in for me. There wasn't enough tuxedo-wearing casino-attending, villain-organization-infiltration. Bond may seem like he sucks at aspects of his job at times (subtlety) but he is still a spy. He should spend more than a single scene undercover/interacting with the villain. Bond was rarely if ever suave or clever in this film, which - up until at least Brosnan if not all the way to Craig himself - was mostly what the movies consisted of, with a violent finish. This was all violence and action from the start.

Everyone's talking about Sam Smith over Radiohead, but seriously, when will Muse get to do a Bond theme? I know they were almost going to do Skyfall, but can't we just get them to actually do one? Like Butterflies and Hurricanes is the perfect song for it.
Sidenote: Dillinger Escape Plan's One of Us is the Killer would also be really good.
Now that you say it, Muse would be a great fit for Bond. Like it should have already happened.
Tentacles & eyes en mass in the intro? Cthulhu confirmed.

You know, if they'd pulled that twist in the end for Christoph Waltz, it would have saved the movie.
As someone who lives in Mexico City. I'm not offended, it is a shit hole here.
God, the hype for this one was real. No one had seen the older James Bond stuff, but we all knew SPECTRE returning was a big deal.
And then it wasn’t a big deal.
Today it happened: I remembered this version of the title song and mumbled along with it while driving in my car. Thank you for delivering a perfect interpretation, Ralph.
When I saw the tentacles touching the girl's leg I was like "I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going."
i see you're a man of culture as well.
I audibly said "Uh-oh..." in the theatre and was able to pinpoint pervs in the audience from the chuckles.
what!? what the fuck!?
There, you have 300 likes. Ocd was killing me.
I only need to hear of enough hentai to know where that goes.
I think this film suffers from the same problem Star Trek Into Darkness had. With the whole blofeld thing it's trying to cater to the old fans and the unfamiliar ones just like Into Darkness did with the Kahn "reveal". But they ignore the fact that you can't really do both and that trying to do that just really breaks the movie.

That was exactly what I was thinking every time he's on screen.
And they put Andrew Scott in a role where he's not a fucking crazy psychopath. He's great in Black Mirror and Sherlock
What about the Grand Budapest Hotel? He wasn't the villain in that

Ahahahahaha, incredible stuff, “COCKS let’s go”
Joe Sabbers holy shit I’ll never unsee that now 🤣
For half of this movie I was bored. For everything else, I was confused. And for a small part of that, I was excited.
Also, a nitpick: The sound mixing was awful at times. It felt so weird when a character was in a helicopter or a boat and I couldn't hear any sound coming from the vehicle.
Not to mention the biggest practical explosion in history being the same volume as dialogue.
wouldn’t call that nitpicking at all. sound makes some good movies great

17:05 There's an explanation for the briefcase, but it's a pretty bad one.
One guy was handing an explosive to another one, but the Italian isn't subtitled nor was it all explained beforehand.
James hears and understand that one was dropping off or selling the other a bomb so he shoots it.
Even then, explosives don't normally go off by being shot at.

I actually liked the octopus imaginary. Representing Spektres enormous manipulation and control.
In my opinion, I really feel like James Bond is a really tired character like he's done everything, I really feel like there's nothing new or different you can do with James Bond
I disagree, there are still some new ideas you can bring to the table. It depends on how far the writers are willing to stray from the formula.
There is a niche audience who are perfectly happy to see the same thing over again and I suspect EON is afraid to lose those people.
Sadly this comes at the cost of storytelling.
Stop setting them in the modern day for one. Go back too the cold war, or even further back too the Two world wars. Bond's mother was Swiss, so we have a good excuse for him knowing German
I doubt Danial Craig lifeless bond helps.
That's the thing. If the writers stray away from the formula then it's hardly a Bond film in my opinion. I mean cmon let's be honest Casino Royale was a good film but not a good Bond film. It strayed away from the formula completely. It didn't feel like a Bond film. It felt like Bourne. Same with QoS. Skyfall returned with familiar elements but still strayed away from the formula.
So yeah Bond films should always have the traditional formula. That's what makes them stand out from other spy and action franchises.
Put him in space or the bottom of the ocean. I'd totally watch a movie about James Bond in BioShock!
One of the best intros in the universe. Fact. Also, love how, outside the abandoned MI6 HQ, in the 3rd act, Bond just snaps his zipties like thin twigs. Cause reasons, and probably a couple of youtube vids. Or something
"Oh, Mister Bond!"
