Its being released 1 day early in IMAX format Nov. 8th, and IMAX is claiming you get to see 25% more picture than a traditional movie screen (on top and bottom).

Just got home from watching Skyfall, and I was very, very impressed. Almost as good as Casino Royale, and significantly better than Quantum. Good Dialogue, lots of action, and almost not gadgetry.
Javier Bardem was fantastic as the Bond Villian. Won't go into detail as I don't want to spoil anything, I will just say that it is well worth seeing on the big screen. Craig has really taken hold of the Bond role and is making it his own.

Best part is knowing Craig is on board for two more Bond movies.

Spoiler!
Not a spoiler at all, just a long article. Ultimately I see some truth to the review - are we at risk of making Bond just another Jason Bourne? I know these movies are more 'gritty' and 'real', but wasn't that what made Bond, Bond? Moore was too campy, agreed, as was Dalton and the later Brosnan (not the early ones, though). I just worry that we aren't making 'Bond' movies these days as much as we are action movies with Bond as a character. The character could be named Steve and the movie would be substantially unchanged. We have enough tortured super-assassins, do we not? It seems like we're making Bond a less and less unique character at this point.

So, sure, they'll have a Bourne feel to them, but that doesn't mean they'll be Bourne clones. As stated before, I don't see any danger of confusing the two characters, or the overarching storylines. |

It was Man with the Golden Gun though, that had the early 70s Kung Fu vibe.

Pretty damn good. Bit long in the middle, but otherwise one of the best bond movies, and one of the best movies overall I've seen this year.

Saw SkyFall tonight. It was really good. I had a bit of a hard time buying into the villain, but it didn't hurt the movie too much.
Really liked it overall and Craig as Bond. I'm going to have to hit up some more Craig movies. I really liked Defiance along with the Bonds. |

Saw it today....as I said in one of the other threads, it was great. It was a little dragging in the middle, but otherwise was a great movie.
Javier Bardem won't go down as one of the great Bond villains, but he didn't suck either. |

I thought it was great.
I also thought Albert Finney was dead so it's nice to see that he's not. |
