    Some excellent tributes to "Classic Bond" -- Top notch directing

    by groversan

    Very good movie -- though not the best Bond ever -- no one does it like Connery, in this writer's opinion. However, Daniel Craig is very good and Skyfall does not disappoint. Frequent Bond-watchers will enjoy the many "shout outs" to classic Bond and even the main villain seems right out of the 1960's era gallery of bad guys. I would have liked a little more kitschy humor -- that's always part of Bond for me. The movie is long, but not so much that you're looking at your watch -- everything moves along. The directing is certainly world class -- the sequences shot in a skyscraper in Shanghai were among the most amazing visually in any movie I've ever seen. I also loved the opening credits (strange, right?) -- they featured some really amazing animation sequences and I would pay to see more of them -- it's hard to explain until you've seen the movie.

    Everything Old Is New Again

    by Mysterhee1020

    Grew up watching 007 in all his incarnations and each reboot had its merits and flaws. With control of the franchise remaining in the Broccoli family, there's been reliable continuity in the level of action, the clever quips, the "girls", the "Amazing Race" locales, and the triumph of Bond over evil. Skyfall felt stripped down, efficient and raw. With less wizardry and more pure brains and brawling brashness, Daniel Craig and Sam Mendes show Bond thinking and feeling as he confronts his past and contemplates his future. More Judi Dench is always a good thing and her mommy-mentor-master relationship with Bond and the divine Javier Bardem as Raoul Silva is wonderful to see unfold. And adding Ralph Fiennes into the mix was a brilliant cherry on top.

    Excellent

    by mjyork

    Never have I seen a more entertaining bond movie. They brought back the old bond characters with a twist. They even bring back some old favorite gadgets for the end of the movie. You are always guessing where they'll take you scene to scene so it makes the movie quite a thrill ride. It's a must see.

    Restoring original Bond suspense and action

    by Leader61

    From the franchise standard action packed opening sequence to the plot twists found in London, Shanghai and Scotland, this Bond was a throw back to the 007's of the 1960's. Daniel Craig emulates an aging MI6 agent dealing with the agony of a lost childhood, deteriorating skills and addictions that effect his mental sharpness. The atypical Bond villain played by Javier Bardem was fascinating. He brought a coolness and intellect that challenged 007 in his pursuit to protect Queen and Country. Skyfall left me wanting more Bond and with great anticipation of the next chapter.

    Three B's Bond, Bad, Boring

    by dfowler989

    I have seen every Bond movie to date and this is by far the worst. The writing and acting are very sub-par; from the overly choreographed fight scenes to the non existing chemistry for the romantic ones, this move is more like a bad Batman film than a Bond movie. Bond shows very little emotion whether being shot or mourning a comrade. The new Money-Penny tries to be sexy and tough at the same time but pulls off neither. The bad guy in the movie is more a Joker lite, maybe a bit more crazy than evil genus bad. All and all this movie was slow and boring with little sense of danger or drama.

    Exciting From Start to Finish

    by answers999

    The graphics were spectacular. Mind-blowing sequences throughout the movie. However, I would have liked James Bond was more than a superhero, fighting machine. I think the film could have used some romance and better development of the characters.

    Skyfall: What?s With All These Goddamn Kids

    by aerykpierson

    I?m getting older, and despite the fact he?s been around for 50 years, James Bond never seems to age. Or, rather, until this movie. It?s awesome to see Bond wearing around the edges. And while we are living in the future, the old ways are still relevant, and suave as hell.

    Don?t get me wrong, Bond still gets more *** than a NYC subway seat, wears tailor-made suits and drives sweet-*** cars that make men wet.

    I?ve had the proverbial 6-foot-erection-with-a-cheeseburger-on-the-tip man crush on James Bond right from the beginning. There are lots of scenes in Skyfall that play homage to the classic stories. Fans who?ve been watching since Sean Connery swaggered onto the screen will appreciate them. At the same time you don?t need to have seen any of the previous movies to enjoy Skyfall. There?s plenty of new blood for new fans to dig into.

    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.

    Usual Daniel Craig Bond Movie

    by sumukhsh

    Hi Guyz,

    Dont expect anything 'bond like' in this movie either, just like all previous Daniel Craig bond movies. The action is decent though. MI6 faces threat from one of their own agents when Bond goes all out to protect 'M' and his agency.

    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.

    Critics over rated it

    by flajoe

    This was definitely not one of the top 5 Bonds of all time.

    Javier Bardem steals the movie otherwise it would have been a total bore

    Action Packed, but still missing that Bondish Feel

    by BrackishWater

    Daniel Craig is as good of a James Bond as there is. But since he started doing Bond movies, they don't seem to be using the original formula anymore. Bond is no longer the womanizer and the cool gadgets are all gone. It's all action-only now. I'm still a fan though!

    SKYFALL

    by fred1

    I've seen every Bond film ever made and this one fell short. The best part of the film was when Adele sang "Skyfall" with all the creative artwork that was reminensant of the old Bond films. Those films had a distinctive Bond girl and this film didn't. All Bond villians are suppose to be evil but this one was portrayed as gay and sick. In my opinion, this negatively effected the film. The revenge angle against M failed and so did the "last stand" at Skyfall estate. They tried to incorporate some old and new and I think it failed. Daniel Craig didn't seem on top of his game either. Casino Royale was a classic and he was fabulous but not here. The shooting scene was unrealistic and therefore didn't seam real. The film really didn't stand a chance due to improper scripts and directing. Go if you must but you will be disappointed.

    SKYFALL is Good

    by MoeCorbinHope

    2.75 out of 5 Stars for me. Enjoyed it. The setting of this double notch MI6Flick is today. There is tech involved, but this is one of the most un-tech Bond movies thus far. There's even a minimum of adult oriented content. If it wasn't Bond, it would be just another story weave of intrigue, car chase and action...sorta. The producers clearly decided to get rid of anything "Old-Bond"- Skyfall is clearly new Bond and post the Ian Fleming books.

    I'd say it's an interim story refit. Next one(s) will hopefully be..more within the new groove this film set up.

    Directing-OK
    Story/Writing-OK
    Photography-OK
    Acting-OK
