Casino Royale > Skyfall > Solace
I liked the movie.Negative: I caught myself finding the bad guy more comical than dangerous. The last sequence was a big build up, but I wanted to go home 20mins before it happened. It was too long at some points and prolly said too much about the most famous spy ever.
Positive: Cinematography, DB7, Moneypenny (as said before)
would watch it again on Netflix or the $4 movie theatre.

It was terrible. I wouldn't even call it a movie. "Incoherent edit of action clips" would be a much better description.

Really disliked the film. The screenplay was poorly written, and the action ended up being a lot like a Rambo movie in the last few scenes. It ended up being totally unrealistic and ungraceful as a spy film with 20 mercenaries fighting 2 people holed up in a house.
How many references to "evil" and "shadow" were there? As if the audience needed their hands held to get it.
Some of the editing felt awkward and out of place.
And my last complaint was the direction under Sam Mendes. He clearly has attempted to bring the Bond franchise back into the comical and nostalgic era, which has undone everything that was great about the precedent set in Casino Royale.
Yes, the car was cool, but it's the 21st century, and we don't need to see two machine guns coming out of the headlights anymore.
Aside from that, the passing of M was well done, Javier Bardem was awesome as usual, and the angle of Bond getting too old for the game was interesting.

I thought it was enjoyable, nicely shot but some of the action scenes and stunts were too ott, which took some of the drama away from them. Also the plot was all a bit basic and unambitious, felt more like something from a 1980's straight to video film.

I thought this sucked. I need to see it again, maybe ill like it more the 2nd time but right now I liked CR and QoS more.

- no beach scene in this one to get you salivating.ebertzjaw
- No the movie just flat out sucked. I couldnt care less about him running around on a beach. Maybe you do.CygnusZero4

I cant even figure out why it's so highly rated by critics on rotten tomatoes. The story was so thin and uninteresting with no layers to it at all. This really reminded me of one of those goofy 90s Bond movies and got too far away from what I liked about the last 2. Oh well.
So far for the 3 big sequels I looked forward to most this year, 2 of them sucked so far, Skyfall and Dark Knight. Dark Knight was ood but not as amazing as I expected. Skyfail was just total meh. Ill see how Hobbit is next month.

Adam West claims he was offered a role as Bond in the 60s, after Connery was done.
- CygnusZero40

Skyfail?

@Salarrue agreed it seemed to take a lot of cues from bourne identity crisis

That location in Scotland was nice, but the whole end sequence was corny and predictable. The whole setting the traps thing, its been done in so many movies. In fact I was just floored they went with something so common and typical for the end action sequence.

- Lol, yeah that would be one.CygnusZero4
- "...get 'em Marv !!!...."prophetone
- Agree. Rest of the film was shot so well but ending like a 80s direct to video moviewebazoot
