Simple recipe for great spy movie, but somehow, many people deviate so much from the original recipe without much success. A faithful intrepretation to the old school spy story, which follow rather closely to the formula, and ended up with one hell of a ride.
Ingredients:
1. 1 lovable lead
2. 2-3 veterans to help carry the show. It will be great to have names like Colin Firth and Michael Caine
3. 1 megalomaniac villain, preferably marinate with one scary sidekick (remember the guy with metallic jaw in Bond? Try it with a metallic blade as legs)
generous dose of humour, especially the British type
4. one light but funny, smart script
5. plenty of smart gadgets, albeit bit old fashion
Instructions:
1. the usual instruction of rookie trying to be great spy, failed in the process and later redeem themselves. Follow that closely.
2. Mix it well with a megalomaniac plan for mass destruction. Work well with almost all recipe, even though it may sound ridiculous at first.
3. make sure that the action is fast paced.
4. pour the generous dose of humour into the script, so the audience would not be yawning (refer my last reviewed movie). Even all the death could be done in artfully funny manner.
5. it will be good to add bit of smart intellectual reference into the bowl. For example reference to the Knights of Round Table (probably faithful to the original comic? and do not forget the reference to Mycroft (hey, that would guarantee me loving it!)
6. Bake it in high temperature in the oven, referring the hot pace of the whole movie, to make sure everyone is glued to their seats.
7. and after 2 hours, you have one massive success!
ratings: 4 poink~!
comments: just so happen that compare to the Jupiter recipe, this is a much more tasty recipe, although a formulaic one. This proves that even a age old recipe could be still a good one.
