I saw this movie a 2nd time because my dad wanted to go, and I had a free ticket due to buying Gillette blades for my fusion razor.
Anyway, I paid more attention about how the film was than my first watch through, and I picked up on a lot of the comments you guys had about the movie that I "glossed over" on my first watch through.
I also remember how the first ~5 minutes of the film were all a single cut. Walking through the Day of the Dead celebration, going up to the room, jumping from the window and rooftop to rooftop over to the meeting where he begins to listen. Then it's like 20 cuts in the next minute, but I enjoyed the intro none the less.
I absolutely think that nothing happened in this movie after the drill torture device. They said "this one will make you disoriented." no effect. "This one will make you forget everyone's face." again, no effect. I think everything from that point was a dream in Bonds head. He had the watch in his hand, but he dropped it while getting drilled. He never set the detonation alarm. He was tortured and is continuing to be tortured now.
I noticed during the 2nd viewing, just how easy his "break out" was. The way bad guys moved into center frame reminded me of video games where all of the sudden 6 guys run in from either side of the screen yet gather in the exact middle. It just seemed way too easy of a break out from the bad situation. And Bond was back to never missing a shot during that sequence also, where as in the previous movies, he's missed countless shots. That also pushes me into thinking it was a dream.
