    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.

    Skyfall was an exciting Bond Film and Craig willl Go Down as one Perhaps the Best 007

    by judae1

    This film was fun, exciting and kept moving. At every turn, Daniel Craig as Bond is certainly the best Bond since Connery. The movie did not rely on high technology and gimmicks as many action films do, and it echoed the past Bond films with classic charm, wit and a darkness of the kind that makes you fear for the things we do not know about evils that exist.

    Using basic, home made weapons and the flashback to the vintage Aston Martin with the eject button made it exciting and unpredictable.

    Loved the film, loved the depth of the characters. Javier Bardem was the kind of psychopath that we used to love about Bond films. The story was a little weak, but that did not keep it from being played well.

    The landscape shots, the desolate countryside shots, the riveting action shots all kept it interesting.

    I believe Connery made the role and Pierce Brosnan was my second favorite. Daniel Craig takes that spot

    Best Bond Movie Ever

    by Joy Badwound

    When a movie opens with Adele singing an amazing sultry ballad against a backdrop of stunning cinematogrphy (which lasts throughout the entire movie) and continues with a timely, ingelligent story line acted beautifully by a stong, gifted cast, you know you made the right choice by viewing this best Bond movie to date at an IMAX theater. I might add that this is the first movie I've ever watched on an IMAX screen. Regardless of that, I'm adding this movie to my list of all time favorites.

    Bond ... raw

    by Sergiof67

    As Bond movies go, this one is stripped of all glitter, fantasy, high tech, futuristic gadgets plots or villains, and is simple, strong, violent and ... raw.

    Despite the omage paid to the franchise (the Aston Martin, the characters - MonyPenney, Q, M -,and the usual jaunting around the world, thw movie is so basic, that leaves a bit of an unfinished taste ...

    I a a big fanon the films, and I did enjoythis one, but I can't wait for the next one ... you know what mean!?

    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.

    Bond meets Rambo

    by be_own_critic

    Whatever it is -- it is not a Bond movie.

    It is a high quality, fast paced action movie. Good story -- Judy Dench is great (as usual), Craig more action than acting (as usual). So it is a great movie for an action filled afternoon. Recommend highly if this is what you want.

    On the other hand, it is not a Bond movie - no big ideas, no big plots, no breath taking innovation, no romance and charm of the character that started with Connery and got fulfilled in Brosnan. Skyfall is the result of an experiment where you take away all aspects of Bond from a Bond movie.

    It is a movie for you if you are for a high quality action adventure -- but not if you are a Bond fan.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Skyfall

    by RADCJD01

    We are huge fans of the 007 movies; and this one definitely lived up to the role! It was a great thrill seeking action movie; just what you'd expect with Bond, only with a few new twists to keep you guessing and anxious to see the conclusion! Job well done! This is yet another film that will be added to our collection for sure!

    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.
