007: Skyfall

Cheebs, stop trying to get us to read your Connery/Craig/Honor Blackman three-way slash fiction.

Just saw it, and he's not wrong. Since Casino Royale was a completely new timeline, and Quantum of Solace continued that one, this movie was fucking confusing in that one regard.

Otherwise the movie was damned good.

Loved it! What a great flick! Start to finish I loved it. So well made, this movie sounds and looks amazing. The best Bond villain in I don't even know how long. A personal vendetta, a true lunatic that pushed everyone to the limit. Javier rules! He's such a good actor. So many cool moments, brilliant miniature special effects! The interrogation scene with Bond and Silva got a WTF and a laugh from the audience and the DB5 got a huge pop when it was revealed. I loved all the nods to the franchise past.

I was surprised by the lack of gadgets and maybe one more action scene would have been welcome...maybe make the casino fight a little longer.

I don't put much credit into what Cheebs is thinking. These movies really don't have any continuity, main characters get replaced.



Brilliant opening and title scroll.

Saw this on Friday, it's pretty awesome. Cinematography was indeed stellar (Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol was also great in this regard I thought), as was Javier Bardem.

I feel the same way. Same character, different actor. The occasional reference to past stuff is just a wink to the audience, nothing more.

The way Cheebs is talking, they could do a "Five Doctors" type movie.

It's all the same franchise universe, not dimensions and shit. That's just reaching for something that isn't there. It's just keeping the same name of characters around through generations of actors. Money Penny wasn't even in the last 2 movies.

Money Penny

lol noob.

I saw this for a second time with my girlfriend. Still holds up, but I think the whole cyber terrorism angle was a bit of a cheap way out. The point and click crime scheme that has plagued both TV and movies in general is silly (live free or die hard did it too).

Regardless the acts of espionage weren't played up as much so it didn't ruin much if anything. Just seemed alittle cheap in a movie that got so much else right.

High quality bitches, one and all.

Yeah. My favorite was Mie Hama.

WTF is cheebs talking about?

Anyways I thought the movie was just ok. I know I'm a minority voice here. I was expecting something great from all the hype and didn't get that. I still enjoyed it though.
