Skyfall Special Effects and CGI

Maybe keep the one liners at the end but I think overall the fight was too light hearted to fit in well with the rest of the film.

SF actually disappointed me fight wise. One thing I'd loved about Craigs films up until now is that the fights were always really brutal. SF had some fights in cool locations (train, skyscraper, etc), but none of them felt as brutal and dangerous as CR or even QOS.

I think CR and QOS had some of the best fight scenes in the series so SF did leave me feeling let down there. I felt like they'd taken away the brutality of Craigs Bond, and that was what made him stand out with the other Bonds imo.

Connery was the iconic all rounder, Lazenby was sort of the everyman Bond, Moore was the comedy Bond, Dalton the dark Bond, Brosnan the cool and flashy action hero Bond, and Craig was the brutal, hardman Bond. But they sort of ditched that in SF, which I thought was a shame.

For Bond 24, I'd like more violent fights. Like the stair fight in CR. More of that please.

The only thing I could add to this is "...or like the hotel fight between Bond and Slate in QoS," and I agree 100,000%.

I forgot that one, it's good but I think it's over a bit quick. I'd like that fight more if it was longer.

It is brutal though, especially the way Bond kills Slate with the scissors at the end and just keeps his fingers on his neck waiting for him to bleed out.

@thelivingroyale, it's in my top three fights throughout the Bond series. I love how brutal it is, but yes, if it continued in the same fashion and was slightly longer, I'd be even happier.

Funny thing is I loved that scene, but loads of people thought it was too 'Bourne-esque' for Bond- then again the 2nd unit director for QoS was the same as on Bourne Supremacy and Ultimatum... My favorite Bond fight too in my opinion!
