Unexpectedly, the first time I wrote a long film review record was given to the worst 007 film in history?
The first thing to say is that the photography and editing are too shocking. The several chases and avalanche scenes in the snow-capped mountains are very spectacular, especially the scene of Bond taking a helicopter through the setting sun is unforgettable. The action scenes are also very amazing, speeding, skiing, snowmobile... The successive high-tension chase scenes are very well grasped, even if it is seen today, it is amazing enough. The plot arrangement was very restrained in the first half, until after Bond fled, it began to explode! When Bond entered the nursing home in the first half, he was quite detective. In the second half, the intense and exciting chase scene pulled me back into the spy war movie.
The second is very realism. This Bond seems very unbond, the combat effectiveness is considered very strong, the attention to detail is not high enough, and the heroine forgot to take the pistol and was held hostage, overconfident, the cognition of genealogy was grabbed by the villain, to the end Because of the failure to execute the big villain, Chu caused the death of the Bond girls and the escape of the villains. It is definitely the darkest 007 work. Past Bond will make mistakes, but it will never be the case, which makes the work heavy. Moreover, this time Bond is even more lacking in high-tech equipment than the Craig series of Bonds, and completed the escape plan with almost no help from MI6. The villain who tried to contact the headquarters at the phone booth was rushed to disrupt the situation. He was forced to contact his future father-in-law who was a criminal to thwart the enemy's crazy plan. The villain’s design is the best in the Bond series: using a superb plan to hijack the British government to protect himself, he was not defeated by Bond in the end. Bond girls are also very bright. They are not weak in combat power, brave and decisive, and are quite witty. They are the rare real heroines in Bond movies, not the role of vase soy sauce.
The third is to echo many times. First of all, Bond was determined to complete the unsuccessful task. He looked at the portrait of the queen without the consent of his boss. When he had to contact the future father-in-law with criminal background in order to save his future wife and deal with the villain, he looked back at the portrait of the queen again. Then Bond took a helicopter to look at the passengers who were skiing and riding in a snowmobile, and it appeared in the chase part.
Having said so many good points, I also brought some complaints. The most dissatisfied was the hospital duel. The soldiers of the father-in-law faction were too powerful in the future, and only three people died! Then the performance of the lead actor George Zarabe is too blunt, and there is no problem with the appearance, in fact, it is more in line with the conditions of the special agent in my mind (excellent skill, rich knowledge reserve, witty and humorous, plain appearance). The original soundtrack is also very ordinary, especially when "007theme" sounded for a long time in the final duel, I felt very uncomfortable (personally think the correct way to deal with it is "007: Ghost Party" over Mexico City. Bond competes with the enemy. When ascending the plane, the sonorous Thomas Newman version of 007 music is currently the best match. By the way, the younger generation "Mission Impossible" series is obviously the best in the spy war movie in so many soundtrack arrangements.) more This wonderful chase scene is not supported by an exciting soundtrack, which is really too wasteful.
In general, this 007 is good enough (exaggerated editing, gorgeous photography, wonderful and continuous chasing scenes), but it is too "anti-epoch" (as a commercial film, the theme is too heavy) and it caused a disastrous box office defeat. People sigh, remind me of "Blade Runner", which was untimely. The tragic hero Bond reminds me of Nolan's "Batman" series, and the design of Snow Mountain Battle and Mountain Top Sanatorium can also be found in Inception. In this way, "The Secret Envoy of the Queen of 007" has a lot of inspiration for Nolan's action movies.
I very much agree with the evaluation of some netizens: This may be the best 007 and the worst 007. In my mind, this is the most underrated Bond movie. Finally, in 1982, "Blade Runner" has gone from a box office failure and bad reviews by the media to become "one of the masterpieces of sci-fi movies". Can "The Secret Envoy of 007" also be "rehabilitated"? ?
