I enjoyed this movie the least of the 3 with Daniel Craggy. The stripped back bond too much for me, and the plot, well... it's fucking shit really isn't it.
Hopefully next time they'll get a director who shoots beautifully, AND has vision.
- I think Mendes was just handed a script and told, "Shoot this piece of shit for us please".CygnusZero4

Yes, less shiny gadgets & offices but more explosions and motorcycles chases on rooftops (my only other Bond movie for reference being Casino Royale). And like others here have mentioned, the story is a pastiche of recent action movies that could have been better digested in isolated 5 minute segments.
Still, go see it. The photography is pretty and Bardem's acting a lot of fun. His acting is the only one that matched the unintended campiness of the dialogues. If you liked Home Alone...

I thought it was great. There wasn't too much gratuitous, drawn out fighting. The cinematography was amazing throughout. Some of the unrealistic scenes seemed more real thanks to sound. Great bond girls. Bardem was outstanding. This one was slightly more grittier, aesthetically as was the plot. It wasn't all shiny polished gadgets and office with chases and explosions.

Soooo overhyped!!! nowhere near as good as Casino Royale. With a story that just dragged on and on by relying on that tired computer hacking plot device. And did they even hire a motion graphics shop this time for the opening? It was also awful! Some of the cinematography is stunning I"ll give it that at least.

I have to say I thought it might be the best Bond movie ever. It was everything a Bond movie should be. The action at the beginning was just insane.

I thought the last two were better. I felt it was lacking. And the antagonist was more funny than scary.
Still a cool movie worth seeing.

^ I dont know. Some of them ripped Dark Knight Rises to pieces and plenty of other blockbusters. I guess it's possible they just legitimately like this movie which is hard for me to understand, but it's just opinions.

I wonder how many of these critics are actually paid sponsors. They never seem all that critical when a major blockbuster is on the line.

So, are all the critics praising this solely based on it's comparison to other Bond films? If so, what does that say about the quality of other Bond films? And, why should it get critiqued only against itself and not at least others in the genre, not to mention all films in general?
This movie is completely mediocre. Silly, stupid, one-dimensional, predictable, and boring.
With one major exception: The photography is excellent. It's solid for start to finish, and has brilliant shining moments scattered throughout. Pay careful attention to the photography to avoid being bored in the theatre.

So many deja-vu's from Borne and Dark Night...

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.

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.
- maybe craig isnt hunky enough in this one for you?ebertzjaw
- 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

Font's aside I think the beginning credits was awesome along with Adele's voice
- Font's > FontsBeeswax
- Technically, font's < fonts
The first is only one, after all.
