    Skyfall

    by Creatch

    The opening is even more fast paced and exciting than the typical Bond film which is just an indication of how superior Skyfall is to any other Bond film. The credits, set to the excellent Adele lyrics/vocals, set up everything nicely while giving nothing away.

    It's hard to go wrong with a cast as brilliant as Daniel Craig, Judi Dench, and Javier Bardem. What all three of them bring to the film is an emotional commitment. They are all, including baddy Bardem, fighting for something that matters to them.

    It is terrific that the ending is expected whilst delivering several twists.

    The best Bond ever.

    Skyfall

    by Dailymoviegoer

    This was a great Bond Movie. It's been way too long since we've had a 007 movie. And Daniel Craig makes the perfect James Bond. Very entertaining!

    A Fun Diversion

    by dennisehle

    Let me start by saying I'm not a huge 007 fan in general. We were looking for a movie to watch as a family (I have two young teenage boys) and Skyfall seemed to have the broadest appeal with both kids and parents.

    While the action was fun and characters were likable, I wasn't as engrossed in the story line as I would normally have been. Maybe I would have gotten more of the "classic 007 references" if I were a bigger fan of the series.

    All in all I'd say it was fun and a great excuse to get the whole family together in one place for almost two hours!

    was better the second time

    by

    so i saw this twice the first time probably would have rated this just as so so i want to start by saying to anyone who made this movie the idea that we are passed using exploding pens is lame that is one of the major attractions to bond movies the gadgets and a gps locator is not a gadget and the smug comment were you expecting a exploding pen is dumb and goes to show how this franchise is slowly slipping getting past that if i can the movie has lots of action as it should a great bad guy the old man trying to pretend he can be as good as the new guy thing kinda gets annoying but not to the point where it ruins the movie overall good but hopefully if there is another which there probably will be i hope they get back to what made bond movies great first of all gadgets lots of cool cars not just one really cool car beautiful girls they did have that in this impossible missions done by the best not a has been trying to be good again bond should never be portrayed as a has been

    Deeply disappointing

    by themoleculoman

    This movie was horribly written and did not deliver. It followed a generic plot that was full of holes. Two hours through the movie I was thinking how apathetic I was towards the whole thing, and the last thirty minutes did not make up for the two hours of retarded events that transpired. The first Mission Impossible did a 10x better job with the idea of recovering a list and the latest Die Hard did a much better job of portraying cyber terrorism than this sad attempt did.

    Back to Bond basics

    by kipandsheril

    We loved this movie! On the edge of our seat the whole time!! We especially loved that it stayed true to some of the Bond basics. Love the new Q for the 21st Century! But I won't say anymore than that - don't want to give away too much details. You HAVE to see it for yourself!!

    Good movie

    by NWCL123

    So, have you ever seen a James Bond movie? Okay, then you know what Skyfall is about. Without knowing what it is about, you know. It isn't real life (sorry, people), but you get lots of action, romance, beefcakiness, M, etc.

    Now, if you like that ... go see the movie. If you don't like that ... go watch Lincoln or Les Mis.

    Skyfall

    by jandjri

    I would give this movie 3 stars. It is typical of a James Bond movie that has all of the action, a tense chase scene, and gadgets that help Bond to have an edge over his adversaries. However there were parts of the movie that seemed too far away from reality to be even remotely believable.

    For example, part of the movie is supposed to take place in Shanghai, China. As Bond chases his adversary in a tall building, a guard is killed with plenty of shots fired and nobody is around (even outside of the building), no one on the street that might have heard or seen the crime. Also, all the while he is in China, all of the people that Bond communicates with speak English. I have been to Shanghai, China and I can tell you that very few people speak English and there are probably few public places where there just aren't any people walking around outside on the streets.

    In any case, I think that it is still a good movie, but not as good as some of the older Bond movies.

    SKYFALL Review

    by delyn1317

    It was GREAT in the second half of the film, BUT it was a snail's pace at the beginning !! There were kids in the theater, and there was not a lot of sex in the movie. So kids would enjoy it, if they like Bond movies.

    Great Movie - Modern & Nostalgic

    by ArcadiaSam

    We completely enjoyed this thriller. Lots of action. Deep character plots, but not boring in any way. Very satisfying. Being older, there were many inferences to past Bond films that made this all the more enjoyable. Daniel Craig, may be given Connery a run for his money with this one and I love Sean Connery.

    Skyfall

    by movie-buff70

    Really liked the movie. Lots of action and suspense. Saw it twice. At one point, (walking on the beach) Daniel looked a little stiff. Really would have like to have seen who saved from from death by bullet and drowning. Action and Adventure is the name of the game.

    Spy vs. Spy

    by geishaslave

    The rugged James Bond is beginning to show some wear and tear. A former agent has resurfaced and is operating on a rogue agenda. M turns 007 loose to handle the issue on his own terms. The classic mix of babes, tech and violence are there. We learn something about Mr. Bond's origins in this one. Javier Bardem was evil and smarmy. Adele's rendition of the title song was fabulous. The new Q was intriguing. Ralph Fiennes is in there, as well. I give _SKYFALL_ a MUST GO! for the reboot factor, the performances, and the story line. Bond still can't score with Moneypenny.

    One of the best James Bond movies

    by Clearanceman

    When I was younger, I didn't like James Bond because it was so ridiculous. But the last few years I realized all hollywood action movies are like that anyway so who cares, enjoy the action. This is one of the best James Bond movies I have seen, even the intro is extremely exciting.

    Skyfall

    by adeliemom

    Fantastic! Constant action and the characters are great, as usual. Wonderful villain. The writing was full of fun things...such as the subway scene (you'll have to go see it to see what I mean). This is for teens and older...nothing that my parents couldn't handle! This was my first exposure to Daniel as Bond and I love him in that role.

    Skyfall? More like Awesomefall!

    by AshleyBurns

    So I went to this movie and I was all like, "Go Skyfall!" and James Bond was all like, "Oh no, I'm dead!" but he wasn't dead, but then blond Javier Bardem was like, "Screw you, blond James Bond" and then he touched his legs and it moved a little. And bros should totally try to nail babes with boats on their boats, because that's awesome. But then I was like, "When does the Skyfall?" but yo - the sky never falls. It's a place, but I won't spoil that. So anyway, the end is like hella cool, but also sad, right? Take your bros to see this. Babes won't get it.
