    Not the Best

    by krajci3

    Enjoyable, yes. Daniel Craig, very hot.There have been better Bond movies. There was not enough interaction with the "Bond Girl". Not even sure which one it was. I was surprised by the ending. I know many people liked it, but this was the VERY FIRST time I looked at my watch during a Bond movie. I thought it was slow in many parts, and the opening seen left a lot to be desired. The villian was not a REAL villan, but a former co-worker turned vengeful.
    The opening number was brilliantly performed but there again, lacked the shadowed naked women.

    Sorry everyone. I was pretty upset myself at my non-reaction to this movie. Guess I'm more of a traditionalist.

    "Shaken not stirred."

    by brianmed5

    In the most anticipated sequal of the James Bond franchise, Daniel Craig once again reprises his role as the secret agent forced out of early retirement to battle with a pschotic henchman hell bent on destroying MI6, the central intelligence agency of England. After suffering a near fatal gunshot wound by a fellow agent, James Bond delves into the realm of secrecy and seduction through exotic locations that span the globe. His character later meets his adversary, a rogue agent formerly a member of MI6 seeking vengeance after an act of betrayal leaves him physically scarred and mentally deranged. For die hard fans of the cult classic, this film will definitely provide an adrenaline rush in terms of high risk stunts, heart pumping fight sequences, and the occasional intimate segments.

    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.

    Not up to Bond snuff

    by surffshr

    Tried to create an intrest in Q and bond's relationship. Didn't quite work. If you are a real bond fan might as well see it. If not Pass on it.

    Great installment of the new bond

    by unclemarty

    Craig is perfect, and the writing is great. More time spent focused on story and broader messages (old vs. new) rather than outrageous stunts or gadgets, which gets the audience more involved rather than just along for the ride. (Although one or two nifty gadgets might have been fun.)

    a fun movie for those uninitiated with the Bond franchise. For Bond fans, it is ridiculously awesome, with a wonderful homage to the past and a bright future!

    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!

    by arensberg_fam

    Thought the movie was fantastic. It was good to get back to "old" Bond and learn about his past. Sad to see M die. The humor was a nice addition also, A definite must see.

    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.

    Skyfall very good but not great

    by smegs

    Looking at the critics reviews and having seen all the Bond movies I expected something spectacular. Spectacular never happened. This is a very good movie but not a great one. Daniel Craig is my second favorite Bond, right up there with Sean Connery.. The story line is solid, the casting very good (although Judy Dench is looking very very old and very tired) and the movie gets into the roots of the Bond character. The action sequences were good but not great, the acting solid but again not great, the movie moves along quickly but at times feels plodding. It was nice to see an action movie that relied on story more than technology but in the case of an action movie such as this a little bit more technology might have been better. As a Bond fan, I truly enjoyed the movie and would recommend it but I left the theater expecting just a little bit more

    sucked

    by bluedev14

    Action scenes were cool but hand to hand combat was EXTREMELY fake. Plot was boring and completely idiotic and unrealistic. Also, Danial Craig sucks. The End.

    Great, great, great movie!

    by jackolexy

    Wife and I get only a few nights out a year (2 kids at home and babysitting is expensive) so I am very pleased with this choice of date night. James Bond via Daniel Craig is great and Skyfall is another strong chapter in this mythology. The villain offers several new twists, but remains true to the bond formula. The new 'Q' offers a contemporary view. Well worth the price of admission.

    Another Solid Bond Movie

    by UncleErnie

    Another good Bond movie that follows the same basic formula as all of the others, but with a few twists. The basics are all there. A chase scene at the beginning, an evil villain who wants to control the world from his island hideout, a beautiful temptress who leads Bond to the mastermind, a scene in a stunning hotel with a casino (shaken not stirred), lots of action as Bond tracks the villain, M calling the shots with Q providing technical assistance, and the giant explosion scene at the end. This one ends a little differently (he doesn't get the girl) but the film sets the stage for the next chapter in the Bond series with some new characters. I loved the throwback scene with the Aston Martin and the old music. There has always been something a little bit off with Daniel Craig as Bond, but I guess no one can ever replace Sean Connery. Overall, I rate it a good solid 8 on a scale of 1-10.
