maybe the next time i see the movie, i will like it more. too long, and the end was just so predictable and boring.

there are a lot of negative reviews, some have an interesting take.

Yes, the title “Skyfall” is explained, and it’s more of a shrug than a revelation, kicking off a segment that plays more like The A-Team than Bond and features an unusually useless Albert Finney. Some have made the case that, like Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark, Bond is a singularly ineffective hero here, such that everything would have happened more or less the way it does without him being in the picture.

meh, if it wasn't for Deakins and Bardem it would've been just a VERY average Bond film. The last third of the film was laughable.

Still didn't measure up to CR. It was good though.

I liked it better than CR because there's only so much action in a casino, and there more emotional impact at the end of this one.

It was hard to buy the Bond-Vesper relationship. I mean was he really that broken up over some broad he had known for a few days?

Great story. Kind of boring movie. Not really what I think of as a Bond movie at all.

Doesn't even touch CR.

It's better than CR because:

1. The emotional impact is greater.

2. The villain is better.

3. Technical stuff like cinematography and choreographed fight sequences are mind-blowingly good.

And then they went in and threw fanboy bones all over the place and my balls were drained.

emotionally the movie did basically nothing for me. I did like the villain, only because i liked No Country for Old Men. The cinematography was nothing special. In the end, all i got from the movie was a sore ass. and this was a theatre with leather recliners.

You have to be kidding. The scenes in Scotland are a visual feast. Especially at night.

The same goes for the stuff at night in the high-rise building chasing the assassin. Just gorgeous to look at.

I think the cinematography was Oscar worthy. When Bond is approaching the casino on the boat was shot very well.

Arguing over whether Casino Royale or Skyfall is the better film is like arguing over whether it is better to see the Broncos lose or the Raiders lose.

The wife and I went and saw Skyfall yesterday. It's certainly the best Bond of the Daniel Craig era, I've no clue if it's the best overall. The biggest difference for me between Skyfall and Casino Royale, is CR is barely a Bond film. It's a great movie, and I love it. But it's no more Bond than in name. For all intents and purposes, it's an origin story. For Pete's sake, we don't even hear the Bond theme until the very end. Skyfall was very much a Bond movie.

For me, this trilogy has been more about getting Bond to where we recognize him as Bond. CR and QoS was getting him to this point. Now we're at Skyfall, and we see everything we know about Bond up until CR: M, Moneypenny, Q, the Aston Martin, the shaken martini, the gadgetry, Adele's 'Skyfall' as a throwback to the older themes...
