Thread: Who has watched the movie Skyfall?

  1. #1

    Default Who has watched the movie Skyfall?

    Well, is there any one who has watched the 23rd release of James Bond series ? Daniel Craig is one of my favorite actor but due to some reason I have not watched the movie yet. Just share about the best scene of the movie.

    It was pretty good. The (SPOILER)DB5 making a return was my favourite part. The new Moneypenny is trout though.

    Isn't MoneyPenny that girl from 28 Days Later? I spent the majority of the beginning trying to figure out where I saw her from.

    I loved the opening scene on the trains and the subway scene with them sliding down the stairs. I always want to do that in the subway and just push people out of the way.

    I liked it though the ending was anti-climatic. I wanted a bigger showdown with Bardem and Craig. I haven't bothered watching all of the Craig-era Bond films, but the parts I've seen of the previous ones -- I'd have to say this one is the better of the bunch.

    Can someone please tell me why Bardem has dyed blond hair and brows? It was extremely distracting and pointless for the character.

    I like Bardem's dye job, it suited his character's sort of "ah smurf it" attitude.

    Great Bond flick, Daniel Craig is turning into one of my favorite Bonds and he and Javier Bardem did excellently playing off of each other. Definitely recommend it.

    Three scenes that were visually mesmerizing were in Shanghai, Macau, and in the final scenes in Scotland with (SPOILER)the burning house in the nighttime landscape

    I loved his hair, he was a very camp and unhinged character, and at times it was hard to tell it was Bardem

    I have to agree. This movie was very visually appealing and fun to watch. I also enjoyed the fighting scene with Bond and the mercenary inside the building.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    It made up for the disappointment that was Quantum of Solace, but I still feel that Casino Royale was the best Craig lead Bond movie.

    Still, it was a very fun watch and the Bond Villain was my favorite type that was used in this movie.

    I have to agree. This movie was very visually appealing and fun to watch. I also enjoyed the fighting scene with Bond and the mercenary inside the building.
    I think that fight was one of my favourite bits from the film - it looked really cool.

    Overall, I really enjoyed Skyfall. I had deliberately tried to keep myself in the dark about a lot of the plot points. All I'd really heard was that it was really good. On a rather more literal basis, I'd also heard Adele's song, which I actually think was top drawer too. Overall it was tussling with Casino Royale for the best Bond of the past 25 years for me. Whether or not it was better than Casino Royale, I don't think I'm quite ready to decide.

    Much of what follows is spoiler-y, so I'll just tag the whole thing.

    (SPOILER)It was a great film. The locations were great - I particularly liked all the scenes in London. The bit with the tube train was great, as was the enquiry scenes. One of the things I've quite liked about the more recent Bond films have been this sense that MI6 have had to account for their actions, and that M has been under pressure from the politicians. The death of M was actually something I thought was good, but also rather sad. I really liked Judi Dench in the role, and she's been one of my favourite Bond characters pretty much since Goldeneye. It was pretty obvious she was going to go, if only for the fact they wouldn't have cast Ralph Fiennes in such a small part otherwise.

    The film was visually spectacular. I've already touched on the scene that Proto mentioned, but also the island where Silva was hiding, and the destruction of Skyfall were pretty cool. Like Manus, I really liked the inclusion of the DB5 which was a nice twist. The acting was good, the action scenes were believable and overall the film was paced well. Daniel Craig, I think, is a really great Bond. Part of me will always picture Roger Moore as Bond, because they were the films I grew up with on Saturday afternoon on ITV, but Craig really is a great Bond.


    I'd actually quite like to see it again, actually.

    Saw it today. It was fun and had lots of great action scenes. Definitely one of the best action flicks I've seen in awhile.

    The only think I absolutely hated about it was (SPOILER)that after all that, a whole two hours of everyone dying or almost dying to save M, she ends up dying right after the villain is killed off. And then Bond cried. Boo.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    Fantastic movie. One of my new favorite Bond flicks for sure.

    (SPOILER)New Q is the best part

    I found it a bit disappointing. It was good, but not near the hype it's getting and no where even close to being as good as Casino Royale.

    (SPOILER)I was disappointed that it didn't build at all on the previous movies. Quantum wasn't mentioned at all even though it was heavily set up in the previous movie. This movie did it's own thing with the Adventures of Bond & M and that was cute and all, but it almost didn't even feel like a Bond movie at times. It was also odd that the 'Bond girl' of this movie was Judy Dench. I liked her as M but you really can't have an old lady in the center of action sequences. The pacing on this movie was also bizarre. Almost like it was two different movies at times.
