Dominic Greene as evil Bond villain as played outstandingly by Mathieu Amalric certainly felt like a very Roman Polanski influenced character. I couldn’t help but watch the film throughout its run time and feel like they were totally riffing off a, “What if Roman Polanski was an evil Bond villain?” His evil sidekick Elvis played by Anatole Taubman that sports an absolutely ridiculously mod haircut and gets the films funniest prop laughs was a really interesting choice.
The main weakness of the newest Bond film (I did dig the film as a whole) was that it felt like a much much longer film that had been condensed and edited down greatly. While I could certainly see the editing style in parts an attempt at style, to me it seemed rather like it was a technique employed to cut down the run time and rush a locked down print out. As such I certainly hope someday to see the full uncut version of this film minus the many awkward moments of editing where everything is sped up and the sound muffled. If this was an attempted style it still seems like an 11th hour change that never comes together, so perhaps there will be a new cut where they have more time to get it right.
As for the gadgets of the film I think they are building still the pre-Bond story of how he became Bond, so we quite haven’t gotten to the point where he is teamed up with cool gadgets. I expect this to come into play in the next outing.
