I thought it was solid on all fronts. I give it a 8 out of 10.
It's also very accessible. You don't have to know anything about Bond to enjoy it.
Skyfall was great.

I confess to not being as big a fan of Casino Royale and QOS as many are. Well, I guess lots of people don't like Quantum of Solace.
I enjoyed Skyfall much more then them. Non-fans of the Craig era should give it a chance.
Hey, grapes are pretty good too. Let me go make two line thread about how great they are.
Because they're so good.
I REALLY enjoyed the Villain, Silva.
I thought the last two movies had very forgettable bad guys, but Silva will stick with you.

The only character I can remember from any of the movies is Bond himself.
Trust me. There is much more to him than meets the eye. That's not even what he "really" looks like,

Did not recognize him from that pic.
Fucking hell me neither. What the fuck. I have to go watch that again now.

I went to see it on Friday, and I have to agree with what many of the reviews have said- that this is one of if not the best Bond film ever. It has a much more professional style than anything that has come before (the cinematography should be looking at an Oscar nomination come January, and possibly the music as well), it has a top director at the helm, and the acting is on a different level to any other Bond film.
But the main difference is that while it continues many Bond conventions, it is a completely different type of film. It builds a genuine emotional connection with the characters and that takes centre stage particularly through the second half of the film. The villain is both creepy and believable at the same time, and the performance is rightly being compared to that of Heath Ladger as the joker. In fact the whole film has similar story strands to the batman trilogy, which is both good and bad in my eyes. It makes for a great story, but also a story that I feel like I have seen before.
The film is brilliant, and I'd recommend it to anyone, whether you have enjoyed Bond in the past or not. Fans of the film will pick up numerous references to the franchise past, but the film is more than good enough to be enjoyable without that.

His acting performance was stellar. He is a great actor and his past film No Country For Old Men can testify to that.

last time i checked, Bond is still alive.
It was my least favorite of the three new Bond movies. Daniel Craig looked too old and worn out to be Bond; I know that was kind of the point, to show the protagonist as weary and beaten so that he can make a comeback during the movie, but it just didn't work for me. Plus, the villain seemed weird for the sake of weird, instead of an actually disturbed person, but maybe that's just me.
The scene in Bond's old house was pretty cool.
It made more sense in my head.

I can see the similarities, but the villain in Skyfall feels totally undeveloped and unimportant compared to the Joker in The Dark Knight. The Skyfall villain never felt threatening or disturbing to me, only weird.
It made more sense in my head.
i hope to see it this weekend just need to cast a spell first

... wouldn't solid on all fronts mean 10 out of 10?

True, I don't even remember the villians from, well, pretty much all the other James Bond movies. Craig's been in the most critically acclaimed Bond films since the Sean Connery years according to RottenTomatoes and the IMDb.

Besides, the original "M" died with Bernard Lee anyways.

I'm reading the Casino Royale novel.
It's a great thriller. Apart from Bond's openly misogynistic attitude, it's amazing that it doesn't seem very dated, for a book that was written in the 50's.
Glad to hear it, nice to see they aren't trading good dialogue and story for explosions and bullshit.
If anyone wants an invite to a site that gives you free stuff I got's it:
Skyfall is now up to 918 million dollars worldwide. It's the highest grossing film in Sony history.
It also crawled back up to the number one spot at the U.S. Box Office after being bumped to number two by Twilight.
Most impressive.
I enjoyed it, also Bond films have the most EPIC credit intros in film history.
Agent Down lol
Are you not Entertained ?!?
It was fucking atrocious. The plotline was asinine and full of holes, the bad guy was more goofy than manacing, the bond-girl dies after 10 minutes and the final "home alone" action sequence was utterly anticlimactic.
This was not really a bond movie at all and the producers should be ashamed for suggesting that it is.
I just recently saw it and it was average with Casino Royale being great and Quantum being bad.

Watched it the other day.
Overall good movie, I really liked the environment, Scotland's plains, Turkey, those lights in the building in Xangai, etc.
Really enjoyable.
Plus the movie looked modern, which was great, no one wants to see Goldfinger 2.0 which, despite being a great movie, seems and looks pretty dated.
Javier Barden is a terrific actor, perfect execution of the bad guy.
But then Daniel Craig. I don't like him at all, he's not fit for a Bond. For an action hero, sure, but he can't shine the shoes of, say, Sean Connery.
