    Bond returns to Skyfall. . . Who needs a watch that shoots lasers or exploding pen

    by wonder_chimp

    Starts out typical hunt for some bad guy somewhere in the world with some interesting back drop and all that. Not bad just expected. What was not expected are the events that unfold after. I went from semi enjoying to getting absorbed into the story line. Was awesome that Bond returns to Skyfall. That whole entire part was a departure from the norm and enjoyable. See it for yourself. Definitely a good flick.

    Skyfall - Enjoy

    by Krystal MacKnight

    Much to my surprise even though I heard from many that it wasn't that great of a film, I enjoyed it.

    I thought the plot was great. The movie although it was a bit long, being a large fan of the Bond Saga it didn't matter to me.

    Skyfall

    by rass86

    Great movie, very exciting in the beginning, then it slowed down some but the ending was to die for "mmm" if you get my drift. Would go again!

    Skyfall

    by

    The twenty-third and most sophisticated of the Bond movies. This film actually takes quite an interesting approach to the series which has become a genre all its own: limited technological gimmicks, only one (or so) meaningless fling, and far more dialog about 007's life than we've ever known. And as a result, we understand the man behind the passion, and we grapple with the same struggles as him throughout the viewing. The montage is superb -- one scene in Shanghai took the audience's breath away. The score is a mix of new and classic. The talented Adele wrote and performed the captivating and more than appropriate theme song.

    2012 has been a slow year for hits with class. In my opinion, however, this movie will not stand up as the hit of the year so much as the redefinition of a genre, and a new sophistication of a decade. The Bond writers outdid themselves in a way nobody could have expected. Our hero is not only a man, he has become a resurrected god.

    Run to the cinema. Now.

    50 Years of Bond

    by imara90

    The Bond franchise has been alive for 50 years now and throughout the movie there are several tongue in cheek moments where the audience members are reminded on how old Bond has gotten. But he's still kicking a** and looking good in his tailored suits. One of my two gripes is that the "Bond Girl" only had about 15 minutes of screen time. That's not okay! Second, the movie was two and a half hours long and not enough action. The movie dragged in places. Otherwise, this movie was fun and had interesting spins on M and Q.

    Big booms and car chases cannot fix a poor script

    by QuickHandsMagoo

    Perhaps my expectations were too high, but Skyfall was a disaster. There were so many plot holes and so many things happening for no reason whatsoever (uh, shaving? Sniping someone that is in a room surrounded by your coworkers? FLASHLIGHT?!). There is a fine line between making a film that pays homage to 50 years of Bond and making a film that is just a ripoff, and Skyfall fell. If Goldfinger and The Dark Knight had a baby, out would pop Skyfall.

    Do filmmakers think that we are stupid? That we will be placated with some blown up cars, a motorcycle chase, and over two hours of witty one liners? Well apparently we are - most reviews of this sloppy movie have been glowing.

    Javier Bardem was the redemption of the film, but he only appears after an hour of brooding Bond.

    Skyfall is a flashy crowd pleaser, but when you actually delve into the substance of the movie, not much is there. Perhaps if you go drink for drink with onscreen Bond, you won't notice how bad the film really is!

    action packed!

    by

    The action started as soon as the movie did and it continued the whole time. It did seem like eternity that I was sitting watching this movie but it was so good that I didnt mind the backache afterwards :)

    Pretty Good...

    by DannyUF

    Lots of action from the beginning to end. Don't know if I would necessarily say it is the best in the recent series with Daniel Craig but still worth going to see at a theater.

    Oh...My...

    by elphaba_mckay

    I love this movie. As soon as it finished, I was plotting on how to find the time to see it again. Old elements, new elements, fantastic villain, best into and title sequence since Goldfinger...

    Skyfall - Not the best storyline, but Daniel Craig is great

    by fandango902

    Skyfall is worthy for any Bond fan. I enjoyed it. There were no boring parts nor were there any parts that I felt didn't contribute to the storyline. The storyline however I thought was one of the weakest of the Bond series - and definitely of the Daniel Craig era.

    The storyline simply hinges on the Antagonist's desire to seek revenge on someone from his past. Without spoiling anything, I'll stop there and say nothing more that there was very little character development and never did I feel I really needed to root for Bond in this film.

    The movie's opening chase scene was worth the price of admission.

    Skyfall

    by MLBewley

    While I liked Skyfall, I don't feel it had the intensity of the two previous movies featuring Daniel Craig as Bond. But I love my Bond, so I rate it a keeper! And yes, I think Craig is the best of the Bonds (with respect and props to Sean Connery).

    007 Exposed

    by KStrong

    A look into the 007 character having emotions and attachments (other than being loyal to the crown). True Bond lovers will enjoy how "Skyfall" hints on characters and props from the past. Entire cast complements each other. Action and flow from scene to scene excellent. MUST SEE

    skyfall

    by charles1634

    We were really excited about seeing the movie and my wife and i love the dine in theater but the movie itself was only slightly about average with a rating of about 60% approval. We could have waited for it to be streamed and watched it at home--Thanks

    No OMG! Super Wow factor

    by

    Was expecting, in what was billed as a "reboot" to the franchise, more of a "Bond Saves the World" plot. Action sequences were impressive, but the plot dragged at times. I just didn't get the "over the top" feeling about the movie. The trend to "humanize" bond and to "go back to basics" fists, chase and run style, is fine, but it feels more like "Mission Impossible" now rather than something that really jumps out at you.

    Credible No Toys Bond Fim

    by petengr

    They did a nice job creating a Bond film with the absolute minimum of Bond toys. They probably over emphasized the "i'm too old for this/No I'm not" business. Still, its definitely worth a watch.
