Skyfall

Saw it in IMAX. I must say I was very impressed. I feel it is the best of the Daniel Criag's Bond incarnations. After the last one I was worried, but this one restores the faith in 007. The villain (played by Javier Bardem) was especially nasty. The movie is not gadget focused, but true grit.

The film was shot for IMAX and I must say it is worth it to find an IMAX and watch it there.

I am not a Jmaes Bond fan and I have watched the movies but this one looks like it is going to be 1 of the best bond movies yet

I saw it today (not in IMAX) and LOVED it. Best Bond EVER.... Not cheesy, not too much T&A, but a VERY well done script. The new Q is interesting. May the franchise do another 50+ years!

Sorry, FAR from the best Bond ever, but MILES above Quantum of Solice. Back story about his youth was the best part. Otherwise, too much dead time.

I liked the movie, but it didn't exactly feel like a Bond movie. It all felt too personal, the villain, the threats, the directed terrorism, even the human frailties portrayed throughout. It lacked the dire peril and scope of intrigue that I've come to expect from Bond. And I will agree that the pacing could have used some fine tuning.

Saw it Friday night. Loved all the throwbacks to vintage Bond movies.

Cool! Glad to hear that it's good I will probably buy it as soon as it comes out on Blu-Ray. I have the first 2 really liked them plus Daniel Craig done a great job as well.

It does lack the usual Bond missions... He is famous for saving the world. This time he just has to save MI6. A bit more personal and narrow plot by comparison.

Best Bond movie ever? Not too sure but defintely in the top 3 (along w/ Dr NO and Goldfinger). Folks boo'ed a bit when we saw a trailer for the next Die Hard movie... My GF asked me if I was going to see it, I replied (a bit too loud which got a chuckle from the folks around me) "see it? am not even going to illegally download it".

Cheers, K

I liked this a lot, but I don't think it was the best ever. Best in a long time but not ever.

Adele wins for best original song, very well deserved. For those that have seen the movie, the song pretty much sums up the movie. It preserves the tradition of mysterious James Bond songs.

Anyone with a good audio setup that has not seen her Blu-ray concert at Albert Hall, kick yourself right now and then go buy it.

Just saw the trailer does look good.

A tad melodramatic for my taste. Bardem was fabulous as a bad guy- as usual.
