I finally watched Skyfall...

[Jeeebus]

wow... that was a steaming turd. Am I the only one left questioning how this movie got made?

Other than the train/crane scene, there wasn't much reminiscent of a Bond film throughout the entire movie. And don't even get me started on how ridiculous/silly some of the scenes were (yes - too ridiculous/silly for a Bond film, which thrives on ridiculous/silly action).

Ughhh, if this wasn't Netflix I'd be pissed for shelling out money to see this nonsense.

You must be a blast at parties. Do you also watch all your movies alone?

 

[preslove]

I thought is pretty lame, too. Never ended up finishing it.

 

[Ns1]

I liked it. :shrug:

 

[nickbits]

I thought it was meh 3/5

I'm going to do minor spoilers of the movie in the next paragraph, so beware...

Yeah, it was awful. I like how they threw away the entire plot of Bardem being some new kind of terrifying cybervillain (which people keep trying to push as scary and continue to fail at) and end up just having the guy throw 150 dudes at Bond at the end.

Also, the secret of Skyfall is that it was completely irrelevant to anything. Way to go writers.

 

[SlitheryDee]

I watched it some time ago. I don't remember anything about it. I guess it was pretty meh.

Worse than Casino Royale. Better than Quantum of Solace. I enjoyed the retro feel.

 

[sdifox]

Steaming pile of turd. Not a single person made a rational decision in that movie...

Or that they threw away the whole notion of exposed secret agents that was supposedly driving the plot. I guess we're just supposed to assume that killing Bardem magically makes the list of agents disappear.

My personal favorite, however, was the perfectly placed explosive to drop a train on a pursuing Bond because, well, you know, just because.

 

[HumblePie]

I thought it was just meh. I hate the "computer magic" sequences though. Those always piss me off when the plot revolves around Swordfish style computer magic effects.

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

Worse than Casino Royale. Better than Quantum of Solace. I enjoyed the retro feel.

Yes, pretty much this. It was certainly overlong, but other than that I thought it was very well made and enjoyed it.

This. Rented the Blu-ray from Redbox and only watched about half of it.

 

[PowerYoga]

It was a good movie, but it wasn't a james bond movie.

 

[Kadarin]

It was a good movie, but it wasn't a james bond movie.

This. It just didn't have the right feel.

 

[Puppies04]

I didn't mind it 3.5/5 certainly didn't think it was bad. That said I concur with the "didn't feel quite like a bond movie" point of view.

 

[BikeJunkie]

Definitely the worst of Craig's Bond appearances, but infinitely better than all of Brosnan's combined.

It's a shame Craig is showing his age. He's a damn good Bond IMO.

 

[MagickMan]

I thought it was meh 3/5

Eh, 3.5, just because they finally killed off J Dench. I like her in other things, but she was too bitchy in Bond.

Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies were great.

 

[Dman8777]

The Pierce Brosnan films weren't great by any stretch but they all had that good old James Bond feel with corny jokes and old-fashioned fistacuffs aplenty. The Daniel Craig films are trying too hard to be Bourne movies imo.

What! Casino Royale is, bar none, the best Bond film made. You must be cray-cray.

 

[Fritzo]

The ending was cool. It got everything back to old school Bond.

He's saying Skyfall was worse than Casino Royale.
