    Skyfall is a great shot in the arm for the Bond franchise

    by master_jedi

    Skyfall is a great reboot to the Bond franchise. It's what the comic book industry calls a jumping on point for new fans. I think Daniel Craig put on his best Bond performance and can solidify his place in the halls of former Bond actors, as one of the better Bond actors. There really isn't much from the script perspective that makes you cheer in amazement as the plot is rather typical for a espionage/action film, but Craig makes up for it and does a good job at carrying the film. It's a pretty decent film for adults and if you don't mind your kids seeing violence, it's okay there. Skyfall isn't a record breaker and won't last longer than a week at the number one spot, but it's a well needed reboot to the franchise and sets the stage for much better Bond films, where Hollywood will have a chance at doing something that's rare...being creative. I think 007 fans will be satisfied.

    Skyfall a Winner

    by connellpm


    The movie is an interesting combination of "old bond" vs "new bond". It's much more violent and bloody than your Father's Bond, but they have thrown a lot of presents toward the fans who love all 50 years of Bond.

    It's one of those movies where you can't really ask questions, you just follow the old Bill Cohwer mantra: It is what it is and enjoy the spectacle.

    Something happens here thare rarely happens in successful movie franchises--and I think it's both a good development and well done.

    Overall, a very good flick, Bond fan or not. Definitely worth ponying up the money to see it.

    007 Delivers Again!

    by Sobeblonde

    But for the disruptive drunken date of some hapless guy at the Veteran's Day 7:00 pm show, everything was great! Thankfully, they left the theater after 10 minutes of encouragement to do so. I'm not a big action movie fan, but 007 really delivers the goods in this one. It's beautifully filmed and the action is seemless and real. As always, there is the right mix of subtle romantic intrigue and interest. I highly recommend it.

    Skyfall?

    by jeannieh-r

    The movie was ok not my favorite 007 flick by far. It was definitely too long and scenes could of been cut without affecting the overall film. The cinematography and acting were very good.
    Lacked certain characteristics typical of Bond movies..missed high tech gadgets and sexy scenes, but was more realistic than others.

    Skyfall reaches the sky!

    by kbarbee

    The best Bond movie since Casino Royale in my opinion. Bond is more human, more believable in this story. I'm sorry to hear that this may be Craig's last movie, though. He has added so much more to the Bond character. In my estimation, he and Sean Connery are the only true Bonds.

    Highly recommended; couldn't say that about Quantum. Skyfall has a good plot with lots of action and a surprise ending. A few questions still need to be answered but all told I'd see it again in a heartbeat.

    A lot of action movie

    by jaybouldin

    There were times when it wasn't clear how Bond got from one place to another. All of a sudden he was just there! The action was intense and fantastic. It is a must see movie.

    SKYFALL

    by Boston007

    Saw this opening night. While I still consider Casino Royale, Craig's best Bond movie, this was pretty good for a Bond film. This is the movie that should have been Quantum. But better late than ever. It's a much darker Bond than previous ones. The cinematography is possibly the best of any Bond film. It's superb. The film moves at a much slower pace than you are used to so be prepared for that. I wish they showed more of the Bond women hahaha.

    All in all a good film that any Bond fan should see as well as non-Bond fans.

    Skyfall

    by anne_cosper

    Great Movie. Daniel Craig is the best Bond Ever and yes, I am old enough to remember the others. Thought the scene with M was Very Touching, well done. Glad to see him be a full person, and not just a robotic super hero. Best Bond movie to date. Will go again to see it.

    SkyFall - 007

    by OldSkooler

    Skyfall delivers all the thrills and action of a 007 film, but it is also compelling for non-Bond fans since the series is more into character development since Daniel Craig became Bond. I think this is a film that you can take a non-fan to and everyone will enjoy it.

    Slow Start, but Great Finish!

    by DerekEA

    I liked the film overall, but it started kind of slow for me.

    For a Bond Film, there was hardly any sexual content, but I wouldn't take young children for the violence and some graphic scenes depicting the villain.

    The acting was good, but the villain could have been better. Definitely worth going.

    new flavor to James Bond

    by JW59615

    i was rather impressed because i went to this movie expecting the normal James Bond style movie however Skyfall seemed to have a darker thyme and dove deeper in to James' past, Skyfall also really exposed alot about the character development of James Bond of the decades.

    See it, but it's not the best Bond

    by wbtczn

    I'm amazed at how many reviews are saying this is one of the best Bonds ever. It felt very intense, almost dark, to me through the whole movie. Some of the filming/editing was a bit shaky, too. Literally. In one scene, the cameras were shaking. I'm assuming it was some artistic move, but I found it distracting. There were also portions of the dialogue that were not understandable.

    There were a couple of throw backs to prior Bond movies, which was a nice touch.

    Plot - average
    Special effects / gadgets - lacking
    Daniel Craig - superb
    Bad guy - good
    Bond girl - not in the movie enough!
    M - well done

    Accelerated Freefall

    by MovieLoverMo

    If you're looking for a colorful Bond to do amazing stunts, romance gorgeous women, and save the day all while looking elegantly cool with a wry wit, then avoid this movie. Here Bond is presented as burnt out, desperately needing a break, diagnosed by M16 with "a pattern of alcohol and substance abuse", and unable to get respect from the younger M16 spies. M (the divine Judi Dench) is confusedly referenced as "Mom" by her spies and underlings until the viewer figures out OMG they meant this? Turns out Bond had severe childhood trauma having been orphaned at a young age, which led to M raising and/or recruiting him (it's unclear).
    The villain is poorly sketched in motivation and action. Despite Javier Bardem's great performance, the viewer is given nothing to chew on.
    What in the world? This movie lets down on most levels. The cinematography is dark/grey/murky, making Daniel Craig's appearance seem depressed and pouty as if he's saying "what am I doing here, this isn't fun!"

    Skyfall

    by Lake_Lover

    Right from the beginning I felt like I was missing something about our hero Bond, what happened to him. The action was none stop intense, I had to remind myself to breath. As always, intense situations, oh those fears of heights. It is another Bond movie that has broken away into its own format, yet there are always reminders of the past. Great movie, but it will take about three viewings before I have seen everything that is going on. Great action movie for the kids as well. If you love Bond, this is another must see!
