Still prefer the Sony Bravia adverts.

For a company that has been responsible for so many inovative ad campaigns in the past that certainly isn't what I would expect.

Rubbish advert, as said its copying the Honda advert with hints of the Bravia adds in it. Fails at both and will just become a very annoying long advert imo.

It won't always be played in full, same as the Honda ad.

I disagree. The Honda advert has a distinct Rune Goldberg theme, while this is very definitely dominoes.

It takes an awful lot of sclerosis to repay that fee.

honda ad is taken with one continuous shot. this is a long way short of the impressivenes of the honda ad in that respect. nothing special at all imo.

I havn't seen it, but I assume it's achieving it's purpose since you're all talking about it.

Nowhere near as good as the tick follows tock follows tick advert. But then again, nothing tops that. I think it was voted greatest advert of all time.

Brilliant!!

Honda ad was two shots and I don't think the creators of this were trying to imitate it.

Well it's obviously working getting everyone talking about it.

I hate advertising. :mad:

Big time failure

someone wasted some money

Why are people comparing it to the Honda advert? Honda didn't invent the principle anyway.

Heliospherez · 8 Nov 2007 at 22:23

From what I remember - Hondas other advert 'Impossible Dream' cost almost 5million - and there wasn't much to that one either.

Not particularly impressed by this - but then I didn't think much of Hondas 'cog' advert (so it was shot in 2 parts -& over 600 takes - but was it really ground-breaking ????)

the honda ad was also 6 months in the making with 606 takes and an Ugly car at the end!
