Saw it Wednesday... nearly fell asleep in the first half. Huge Bond fan.


'Artist' is not a term you should use to refer to yourself. Let others, and your work, do it for you.

It's better than the other 2, but, for me, not so sure it lives up to all the hype. If people like it, great. I just felt it started off a rip roaring pace and had too many flat spots thereafter. Some serious WTF plot hole in particular that made no sense to me. Could have easily cut 20 mins. 7 out 10.

I thought it was terrible...and I saw it at the Premiere with free food and booze and all that jazz which usually makes me more amenable.

The story doesn't make even the slightest bit of sense.

The problem with it for me is that you can't have a film that feels like it's trying to be serious whilst at the same time everything is cheesy, ridiculous and unrealistic.

You have to pick one tone or the other.

Complete abortion for me.

Lots of people seem to like it though.

Just wanted to chime in here - I think the theme song is the worst ever Bond song ( and there has been some shockers).

I don't mind Adele's other stuff but this song is out of tune, boring and quite simply rubbish

I liked it. I thought the pace peaked and wallowed at times, but it wasn't your Atypical bond film.

My only gripe is that I was hoping for a more worthy adversary out of Javier Bardrm. He doesn't come into play until we're a third into the story. They could've given his character a lot more menace.

Worth the price of admission, IMO.

The thing I liked the most was the ending. Not just the epilogue, but the way the story ended...which I won't spoil.

The rest of the movie was pretty good, I thought. I'm not too discerning when it comes to Bond, except for Die Another Day. I have my reasons for liking each of the other movies, so this one was good and I'll figure out why I like it too. Probably the scene in Shanghai.

I thought Stevie's mug was in here at one point blasting this track... I loved it...



I expected a bit more to the intro of this film, though. It's been done better several times IMO. Adele's voice is captivating...

Btw, did anyone get anything out of the title? When Bond was asked a series of questions, Skyfall was the last, then he said "done."

Maybe I went to the lew at a critical point....

Skyfall is the name of his house.

It was where his parents died and they had the final battle.

James, you have a bladder problem going on there, bro, or what?  You can't sit through a fucking movie without having to get up and take a leak?  Get thee to a doctor and get that "little problem" taken care of.
