    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.

    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.

    Decent movie but nothing like the Bourne..

    by critic_in_oc

    I guess I've never been a James Bond fan. I went thinking I was going to give a try but no, I'll stick with the Bourne series.

    A lot of action movie

    by jaybouldin

    There were times when it wasn't clear how Bond got from one place to another. All of a sudden he was just there! The action was intense and fantastic. It is a must see movie.

    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!

    Hollywood Medicority

    by trueromanticlife

    I don't think there's been a really good movie from Hollywood in several years and this one is the usual mediocre fair. Mildly entertaining, but nothing to write home about.

    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

    Best.Bond.EVER

    by

    Skyfall is without question the best Bond ever. Movie opens with an action scene that in most movies you have to wait an hour for. Then if you're not already hooked enough the opening credits begin with the entire theater being consumed by the amazing Adele. Even the song is worth seeing this movie. Daniel Craig puts on the performance of a lifetime but wait until you see Judy Dench in her role as M. We finally see her character evolve and she is utterly amazing. The villain is by far the most complex and evil villain of any Bond film. If you like Heath Ledger's Joker then you will LOVE this character. Skyfall is a movie I will watch over and over.

    Skyfall

    by fireyredhead

    The movie was AWESOME!
    The acting was top notch, as was the cinematography, etc.
    I'd say parents can take their children, I prefer for them to do their own censoring. I can't wait to see the next one!

    Twice in 24 hours

    by fortherewillcomeatime

    I got to go to an early screening and after still wanted to go to the Midnight showing for which I had tickets. Action, adventures and nostalgia. 50 years in the making and it lived up to it. Daniel Craig gives it both barrels, literally.

    Skyfall doesn't FAIL!

    by

    The best Bond movie i have seen in years, it takes Bond forward and then back to his roots, the new "team" are great, Ralph Fiennes was excellent and he really made the film feel right, M was incredible in this, really showed all her sides. Just a fantastic ride for the 2+hrs and look forward to Craig carrying this forward. I was unsure about Daniel Craig from the last 2 films, felt he was Bond but Wasn't in some ways but now he IS BOND!

    Bond at his best

    by bwohlgemuth

    Truly one of the greatest bond movies ever, not only does it have the action sequences that you expect from a bond movie but it explains little details about bond from the very beginning .

    Go see it

    Best Bond yet

    by miche4572

    When explaining this film to my friends, I asked them "Do you normally see a Bond movie for the acting?" Answer? Typically no. You go for the three "G's:" guns, girls, gadgets. But, and this is from a woman's perspective, the acting in this film was stellar. I loved the cinematography. Javier Bardem was a fantastic psychopathic villain. His full embrace of the roll was downright creepy. The storyline was compelling. Mendez really captured that sense of change and modernity contrasted with M and Bond's old school way of conducting business. You also learn a lot more about Bond as a person, something not really delved into in past Bond films. It's not just several hours of entertainment. It's a story you can really latch onto.

    A Deeper Bond

    by callisterp

    Skyfall is the capstone of Craig's introspective portrayal of James Bond. It's about relationship, ones origins, weaknesses, and passing breaking points to reveal what's truly essential. Relationships are foregrounded. In this case, M is the Freudian "Mum," although thankfully not in the tradition of Oedipus. The Bond that emerges from the cathartic drama is both stronger and more human--a welcome departure from the traditional hero in action films, including past Bond films, where strength is gained by being less human, not more.

    His counterpoint, the villain, Silvian, is the miscreant Bond, the bitter step-child of MI-6, and more particularly M. James' loyalty to M and MI-6 become all the more striking. M adds to the poinancy with her vunerability and passion for the job.

    Don't worry, the movie is still full of action and inhumane mayhem, but somehow you come away feeling that wasn't the point. Well done Steven Craig! Well done Judy Dench!
