In a bond movie I wanna see more of this
and less of this
No offense but 007 not exactly a movie I go to see to watch Oscar performances...
Don't come at Dame Julie Dench like that...just playin but I just got back and I really enjoyed it, Javier Bardem was great as the villain and Daniel Craig is that dude, it didn't feel as long as it was and I actually think it was the best Bond movie Craig has done 
just my thoughts
the leather tufted door was a nice touch too.
What an amazing job by all. Not just him, he was brilliant of course, but the director not even bringing him in until an hour into the film, and then that long walk with him talking to Bond, the way it was shot, slowly step by step was just masterful. The scene with his dentures tho. 
In the old Bond flicks, Bond always flirted with Miss Moneypenny, but I think it was implied that it never went beyond that. Same goes for Skyfall, I'd imagine.
Absolutely loved it. Anyone who has not yet seen it, don't read past this, I am going to talk about it in detail, stop now, and come back after you've seen it. I did that with JA's post, I wouldn't read his until I saw the movie and then came in and saw what he had to say.
I've now seen the last 7 Bonds. Goldeneye was the first I ever saw, and I loved it. The next 3 sucked royally. Then Casino Royale came out and I was addicted to that damn film. Solace was just as solid imo, however it lost something with the grittiness of it compared to the beauty of Royale. I think that's where people got lost. They also had major issues with the story being written while already filming, the chaos of the money stuff, the writers strike, etc etc. So overall it did suffer a little, even tho I still thought it was solid and certainly better than the last 3 Brosnan flicks.
Skyfall brings it all back tho. Equal in beauty to Royale, the imagery was ******g amazing, the camera angles when Q comes in, the boat ride up to the casino with him fully swagged. The fight in the tower, Shanghai was freaking incredible, the color, all of it.
Seeing him torn down, and brought back, making him look older, and grizzled as opposed to always flawless in Royale. Showing him having to struggle to get back.
The scene in the courtroom where they sit there and doubt the people hiding in shadows, all the while they are about to be in true danger, and someone from the shadows emerge to save their *****, LOVED IT. The wink by Bond to the new M as he saw him in action, picking up a gun and helping out. Loved that part.
Javier Bardem.What an amazing job by all. Not just him, he was brilliant of course, but the director not even bringing him in until an hour into the film, and then that long walk with him talking to Bond, the way it was shot, slowly step by step was just masterful. The scene with his dentures tho.
I was THRILLED when they went to the old school nods with the car, the music, bringing back Q, Moneypenny, clearing out Dench for a newer, fresher face, they set up the next film PERFECTLY, as if to say we have brought it all back to the beginning, moreso than they did with Royale and Solace. They focused on Bond, with M, but not much else, this film brought it all back.
The helicopter scene outside the house was a complete nod to the copter in Russia With Love. Loved it. The whole time I kept thinking about the inevitable video game and having to deal with that. Loved the word play game when he was being tested, and his reaction to Skyfall, only to later see what it meant. Even that, brings it all back to Royale when Vespa mentions that they love to nab Orphans for their double 00 agents. They take care of ALL things Bond in this film.
Easy 9-9.5 for me. Can't wait for it to hit Blu Ray and can not wait for them to start working on Bond 24. Suddenly the franchise is in real good shape and I hope they keep it goin. Craig has 2 more films left, and then we'll see it all start over again around 2020 or so.
