Naïve Old Fart 9,511 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Really, Bilbo, you must learn to govern your emotions. They will be your undoing. Logic dictates that THE SPY WHO LOVED ME is the best looking Bond film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMc 2,674 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I am in full agreement with Richard and Joe on this one. The Spy Who Loved Me takes the cake by far. Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,331 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Huh? By far? Okay, why? And I really expect a reason why you think it's so much better looking than Skyfall.

Deakins is a master, there is no doubt about it ,and his prowess is on full display. Skyfall is one ravishingly lit shot after another. But, maybe, it is all a tad too dense. I feel it does overwhelm the viewer a little bit, gorgeous as it all is. The Spy Who Loved Me is shot with suave and swagger. Color, line, and lighting call to mind epic filmmaking while still feeling rather intimate. It better fits the James Bond mythos, fulfills it, even. I mean, Skyfall's skyskraper fight sequence, the way that is shot it could be from any really good action movie. But, say, the pyramids sequence from The Spy Who Loved Me, there is just something that really is so James Bond about the way that one was done.

EARTHQUAKE had roadshow presentations in 70mm/6-track, but that's not the point. Anyway, I hope that you enjoy the movie, hokey though it is.
