A film I always want to like more but I feel at odds with it I haven’t seen it since 2012 to be honest apart from a few clips here and there and I just I don’t know… everyone loves this film so I should love it
But the issues I have with it just are a too much but let’s go over positives
1. The cinematography is breathtaking
2. Craig is better in this then I remember
3. I like the changes to the formula if this was a Brosnan film there would be some young girl watching Skyfall that Bond would sleep with in the end
4. I love the political intrigue
5. The M scene is quite good
6. Shanghai is beautiful
7. The casino scene is ok but not as good as Royale
In fact I am typing this as I am watching it why do I hate this film again I mean I wanted Craig’s tenure to have nothing but Fleming titles but is that enough of a reason to dam Skyfall?
At the time I did dislike the fact the film was very dark and grey but honestly that isn’t bothering me this watching
Now I am remembering
1.. the timeline issues… look last film he was a fresh Agent and now it’s like we both have been played out … and the pen line from Q the freaking DB5
2. Seeing bond “out of shape” is slightly disturbing as well
3. The fact Bond fails at the end annoys me
4. The London chase is far fetched to say the least
Final thoughts
If the film was titled Valley of Shadows (a chapter title from live and let die) and they got rid of the time line insanity stuff and have M survive but retire and fix up the London chase the film could of been top 3 for me
As it stands it’s just ok
Films I have seen in 2021

Think quite a few of us feel the same way about Skyfall! Struggled with it when I first saw it in the cinema.....still struggle with it now! Yes, some good stuff here and there ( though I dont totally agree about the cinematography!) but, Man, why do I feel like I'm not watching a Bond movie?
I will still watch it, hoping it will click with me, hasnt happened yet tbough!

As far as this type of films go, this was pretty good. The visual flair is great, and all performances are top notch (They got Christopher Walken, Mickey Rourke, Giancarlo Giannini to name a few).

Denzel is superb, and one of the late Tony Scotts best!
One of my all time favorite films, considering my username. I miss Tony Scott.
That did strike me.
Not quite 'Golden Age Segal' but at the same time, he was still in good enough shape to do a lot of the work himself (or he still gave a rats ass about his career). He also spends little time sat down, and he isn't dubbed! Compared his later films, it may well be part of his golden age.
First time i've watched this film.
Worth a watch as it has some good laughs. Crikey.... :)>-
Beware, it's a bit cheeky.......... :))
Saw this at the cinema when it came out. It was quite a big hit with critics and audiences at the time.
It is very funny with an easy going charm.
Back when people weren't offended by every silly little thing.
Well if you had ever seen The Paul Hogan show, you would know what to expect! Saw it in the cinema too, the ending is wonderful. The sequel is awful, betrays the charm of the orginal!
Used to LOVE the Paul Hogan show! (Shown late on BBC2 I think)
I also liked those ad's he did for Fosters lager.
Agreed, the sequel was meh
The Paul Hogan show was fun.
I found Malcolm & Marie to be way too pretentious for my tastes (though it looked lovely and the performances were great) but I'm so very excited to check out Titane whenever I get the option. It looks wonderful.
Comedy gold by Atkinson, Rowan Atkinson 👍
I saw this years ago, but it's worse than I remember. The dubbing for Seagal is hilariously bad. A couple of Seagal's lines, in every scene that he is in, are dubbed but an actor that sounds nothing like him.
Is it as bad as
That can't be real... is it?
At 0:57 he sounds completely smashed. Something about sand on the plane??? :))
At first, I was going to say that, yes, it is as bad as that. But on second thoughts, actually it isn't.
This is an ACTUAL tv dub of Die Hard 2 :)) :)) :)) the "Yippee Ki-Yay, Mr. Falcon" has become QUITE famous in the age of YouTube
Second, American Psycho. It’s been over 10 years but it was a pleasant surprise, in more ways than one. I never forgot the violence, but it had a great conflicting opinion of itself for the audience. Everyone will truly have a different opinion on what it means.
How exciting! I'm watching it on Friday I think.
Playing a Bond suite currently before the film starts, it's been a long wait.
Oh, man. This is really awful. At least it isn t quite as messy as the first. I did like one thing:
