    Skyfall

    by toni73

    This movie was excellent!!! It had the right balance of action, mystery, and storyline. The action scenes had me on pins & needles. Everything about it was beautiful. The scenery/locations were so spectacular, now I'm dying to go to London! LOL. Daniel Craig totally owned his part as Agent 007. He was smooth, confident, and hot!! And of course Judy Dench was great as always. At the end of the movie everyone applauded. Even my nephew and his friend loved it, and they're very picky LOL. I would highly recommend this movie, if you see it you will love it. I guarantee it!! It will far exceed your expectations! I would actually spend money to go see it again.

    Living Up to 007 Name and Beyond

    by AlasItsAlice


    BEAUTIFULLY SHOT

    SUSPENSE AND ACTION THROUGH OUT

    FUNNY NODS to BOND CLICHES

    WONDERFUL CHARACTERS

    JUST ENOUGH OF THAT OVER THE TOP BOND EXCITEMENT which KEPT VIEWER ENGAGEMENT and KEPT YOU GUESSING

    Thank goodness - BOND is BACK in his 50th year. Family of four - boy8, girl 15, woman 47, man 56. WE ALL LOVED IT. Two hours plus movie didn't have a moment where you remembered how uncomfortable your theater chair was.

    I was struck how beautiful it was - the colors of blue, green, gold and brown.(touches of red and orange sparingly used). Not a moment where you felt cheated, pandered to, or insulted. While violent with many many shoot outs - not overly or gratuitously gory. Insanity of 'bad guy' creepy but not freaky. If your child has seen the last two 007 movies on DVD - they would be fine seeing this one in the theater.

    A pleasure to watch. So glad we went.

    this was a fun movie to watch - glad we saw it on the big screen. there were a surprising number of kids at the showing though... anyway, lots of action - including a good jump moment, it was funny, a wee sentimental, and had a damned good bad guy!

    Exciting, action packed movie, typical of a James Bond movie. Entertaining, and kept you on the edge of your seat. Amazing photography and acting....I'd recommend this movie to anyone searching for pure entertainment.

    Skyfall

    by meenakumar1

    Daniel Craig is so easy on the eyes; however, that is not the only reason I was hooked on this movie. From the beginning of the movie, the director takes you into an intense chase and leaves one believing it is the end of our good man. But one should not despair. Our gorgeous hero, James Bond, is in rare form as the lone agent who is sent to retrieve a stolen list of MI6 agents' names that are being leaked to the enemies. Three agents are dead and it seems that time is running out for our fearless leader, M, who seems to be the major target of this assault on the secret service. But there is some humor in the movie, too. I truly enjoyed Javier Bardem as the nasty fallen agent who is coming for M. You will enjoy his character immensely because Bardem has worked at developing the character well. He had a lot of us laughing.

    Give it a try and if you are as taken in by action movies, then you will enjoy this one!

    Skyfall

    by h benson

    All the favorite Bond elements are here and they arrive in surprising ways-- the Aston Martin, Q's witty remark, "What did you expect? Exploding pens?" and, most importantly that distinctive old time Bond twangy music kicks in at just the right moment.

    This film was deeper and more character driven than most of the Bond movies, and the villain, though outrageous, had a back story that was relevant to the plot. There are believable current day issues like a hostile Parliamentary oversight committees out to grab headlines by dumping M, and a pretty fair definition of existing security threats that are not "place specific", but "always there in the shadows." So, we have action a-plenty, gorgeous women, a plot that is not driven by "world domination" and an often grungy Bond who seems vulnerable and at risk of becoming irrelevant, but still the best at what he does, including looking good in a tux and seducing women.

    My rating: Two Walther PPK bullets in the bulls eye.

    by MyYaYa

    Super movie. I've seen all the Bond movies over the past 50 years and I was truly impressed with this one. I think it is going to be one of the classic Bond movies. Kind of fun not to have all the tricky gadgets, except the car. Daniel Craig is very well-suited to the role - no one will replace Sean Connery. All the characters, including the extremely creepy and evil Javier Bardeem were excellent. I like the setup with Q and M and Moneypenny. Look forward to the next ones.

    Definitely worth seeing!

    by Izzy_IZ

    The Action sequences were great. The story actually gave a background to Bond, which was nice. Something did feel like it was missing compared to the older Bond flicks but this did keep you entertained.

    Skyfall one the best Bonds Yet

    by ksaldutti

    I have seen every Bond move to date and Craig is a real emulation to James Bond. He brings a human to a character that had become more of a cartoon in previous Bond films. We noticed the welcome deference in Casino Royal that we had a James Bond that had warm blood running and heart. Skyfall was great take on it 50th. with nostalgia of the Sean Connery days but with years clocked for now. Fun and entertaining during the entire film. I?ll be adding this to my collection and it will stand out as being the start of the second generation fifty and beyond.

    Love Bond!

    by scabshouse

    But this movie wasn't wow. It was good and worth the watch for sure but I was expecting a WOW this time. The story line was a good one. I love Adel and the SkyFall song.
    Go see it in theaters for sure. Redbox won't do it justice.

    For kids, it has the typical "Bond" scenes but no detail.

    Daniel Craig is great as were his support. The villian is disgusting as usual.

    I would recommend this movie. I thought it was a good movie. Daniel Craig always does
    a good job in the role that he has to play.

    Perhaps the Best!

    by corbisayler

    In a 5 point system, I'd give it 4.5, because they could have explored the 'M' relationship a little deeper, for me, otherwise, this is 'Bond' at its absolute best. The connections to the past were fun. Locations & camera work - incredible. Action, unbelievable. I was a die hard Connery fan, but I love Daniel Craig in this role. Action movie buffs will love it over and over and it's 'top shelf' (shaken, not stirred) for 'Bond' lovers.

    Classic Bond is Back

    by Hammerhedd90

    Great reset for this iconic series!

    The opening action sequence was true Brocolli, the song by Adele and the opening credits were the best in many years, this movie proves that Bond can still be relevant today!

    Only OK for a Bond film

    by

    I'm a pretty big fan of James Bond movies but this one just didn't seem to really stack up. It started off pretty good. It had its good points and funny moments. But these last films with Daniel Craig have seemed to stray more and more away from the real James Bond style. For instance: Casino Royale, about how he got started. Q of Solace: about his love. And now this one: Skyfall, about his childhood and family. It's good character building but just far off from what i would expect 007 movies to be. The villain was an intellectual type which is cool, kinda reminiscent of Dr. No. But there were hardly any cool gadgets, one of my favorite things to see in the old ones. Bond gets shot, twice! Only 1 real hand to hand fight scene. Part of MI6 gets blown up. Q is like 15 years old now. and "M" dies! Worst of all, the Aston Martin DB5 is brought back (YAY!) BUT IT GETS BLOWN UP!!! WTF!! So overall it was OK. Ill probably buy it and add it to my Bond collection. I would give it a 3.5 out of 5
