Sorry for those who don't like ADELE btw... I-)
You're in luck since they're not writing the next one <:-P
Totally agree. Despite the input from Logan this still feels at heart like another duff P+W story. And a rehash of TWINE at that. Mendes has attempted to gloss over the appalling plotting and inept character 'development' but even a one time Oscar winner can't pollish a t*rd.
And you're the one accusing others of trolling.
You and old Rosa Klebb deserve each other.
Pretty decent review. Good to see the Americans calling BS on this overhyped let down. Slightly less good to see the barrage of anti-Americanism it provoked from our resident skinhead.
Yes, a review by one guy... The Americans.
/:)
He is being stupidly OTT about it but people haven't exactly been kind to him about his opinion either to be fair.

Don't bother, Sandy. He is off my radar... ;)
This is me being restrained. I'm not calling anyone a troll obviously, but there a couple of people on here that I find seriously unpleasant. I appreciate this is tedious for everyone else but GL is like a Rottweiler when it comes to me. When she says I am off her radar what she means is that she is going to seek out every post I make and try and gouge my eyes out. She can give it out but she cannot take it. And she and her little henchman are bloody rude to boot.
Hope you don't mind......... ;)
You are entitled to your opinion but you see not many of see this appalling plotting and inept character development you so eloquently talk about, you are just as bad calling us all sheep for lapping it up. This is what your take and that is your prerogative, can't you just accept that we didn't see this instead of constantly calling us all morons for liking this film.
Are you going to be pouncing on every negative review that appears in order to back up your take? Face it, it has had almost universal acclaim we can't all have been suckered in, it's insulting you'd think such a thing.
It really is desperate stuff.
It happens though, that this time around, Skyfall is both a film with Oscar potential and a film that is great as well.
NOT AMERICAN. Sorry, but as a Canadian it's my rightful duty to point that out ;)
we all know who the real trolls are.
Only real complaints is that I wish we'd seen more of Severine and more dialog between Bond and Silva - my favorite moments of the films are the banter between 007 and the villains and I really wish we'd had maybe one more decently long scene to that effect. Another thing is that I know Arnold has gotten some flack for his scores, but I personally really enjoyed both CR and QoS's scores. Newman's score wasn't something that really hurt or helped the movie, but I think back to CR and tracks like Aston Montenegro were tracks I could listen to on their own and enjoy. Can't think of any such track from SF.
As much as I enjoyed it though, I'm actually really looking forward to Bond 24 where hopefully he goes into an office, gets his assignment and sets on his way without any personal baggage like all 3 of the Craig films have been accompanied by.
Not quite sure what to think yet. Definitely a good movie. But it felt really different.
Everyone keeps saying there will be no more personal baggage in Craig's films... Yeah i don't think that's ever going to happen. The point of his tenure is to make Bond feel more human, so sorry fellas.
I want to see it again
Seriously? Even after my post where I beg for a little peace and quiet you have to put down another useless post like this, hoping to stir up the wasp nest again?
I have been using this forum for a year now if i am a fool and offend people it is up to people to provide all the evidence to the MODS and get me removed.
You do realise I am a mod, don't you...
yes i do
We have provided the plot holes, they are off the scale. Just one: Bond falls to his 'death' he looks dead in the water (why? Is he pretending to be dead to fool an imaginary audience), no mention to speak of regarding the 'fatal' shot, no reference to him being injured by it much save bruising in the ribs. Was Eve firing rock salt, is it a homage to AVTAK?
No rush to get back to reassure the gal that he's not dead, it not such a big mistake. He behaves unprofessionally, to the point where I wondered if the whole thing wasn't deliberetly done as a YOLT (film) hoax.
How did he survive the fall, let alone the shot?
In fact, a better way this would make sense if it is to borrow from the YOLT book finale, where he falls and has short-term memory loss, (though that really would be like the first Bourne film unfortunately). That would explain why he is dossing about, in no hurry to return, then the explosion of the Mi6 building in the bar would jolt his memory and bring it back.
It would work better so that when he hears M say 'Take the bloody shot!' over the headpiece, you see his eyes widen with astonishment and horror at the betrayal. To underline he is gonna be peeved with her.
Until you address all this, poor Getafix is going to be even more frustrated, and I share it. It's a 'My Bond right or wrong' pov.
He looks dead? He obviously isn't. You assume he is because he is not moving and his eyes are closed, that just means he looks unconscient, right? That would be result of the impact of the bullet and water. You can see the scar from the shot very well on his shoulder.
He's been shot by a fellow agent, he feels betrayed by his own people, do you really think his first thought would be "Let me get back fast because the poor girl must be feeling terrible , thinking she killed me!"
The shot was to the shoulder, you can see it clearly when he is taken the remains of the other shoulder. He could survive the fall, many people have survived falls like this. The fact that he was probably already unconscient when he hit the water probably helped. Someone obviously helped him. We don't need to see that, it would drag the story.
He is in no hurry to return because he doesn't feel like it, he was shot by a fellow agent (by accident but nevertheless), a shot ordered by his boss. He's in no hurry to get back but then he sees what's happening and his loyalty comes to the surface again.
Hmm, with all due respect, this is not a soap opera.
