I loved SF although as you say not quite as good as Casino Royale but no other film could be IMO. I also will be avoiding all speculation in the run up to Bond 24 as I came across way too many spoilers and fan speculation that took away some of the mystery. Lesson learnt for next time! Still, a very enjoyable viewing experience nonetheless and Bardem gace an acting masterclass in screen villainy.
As for the `F' word appearing, grow up!! Fleming's novels were littered with swear words.
LOL He gets laid by 3 in this film, how many more do you want him to have?
Me too. CR had a few flaws (Eva Green being one of them) whereas I didn't find any in SF. I also found SF to be more engaging and gripping too.
This is not to detract from CR in any way, as it comes a close second.
What do you think about teh film?
Yeah, I just ended up learning too much. Speculation often proves to be accurate. The end of Skyfall came as no surprise to me whatsoever.
Also, regarding the very end, I love who the new M is and the old school office. It even has the Admiral's beloved naval pictures on the wall! Didn't notice the shell for the pipe ashes however. ;)
A 100% true, but modern, copy of his office, ey? :D
You haven't seen the film have you? Or is that a typo?
He gets laid twice but there really isn't much sex in the film. When there is a sex scene it only lasts a few seconds anyway.
I didn't say it was a big issue, I just pointed out when talking about the Bond girls that there isn't much sex in the film. I even said it's not really a problem.
So, I've seen Skyfall yesterday twice and generally it's very good but I am not sure to put it in my best five's. Many scenes are great but some odd (homosexual talk, killing Severine). Direction, acting, cinematography, dialogs, song are fabulous but music is weak, the worst in series, shame. And someone forgot to write at the end "To the memory of John Barry".
He died and gave a lot to the series, and they've dedicated films before. I think it would've been a nice touch.
Villain was terrific, although campery just spilt over slightly. Maybe a bit more menace could have been shown.
Settings great, Daniel Craig excellent.
Couple of observations -
1) wouldn't Bond be in deep sh*t over M's death? It was his idea to take her up to Scotland - ultimately the plan failed. She surely would have been much safer in London with hordes of security/police/army protecting her. Or could they not have sent the army up to Scotland as a trap for Silva?
2) Jokes about her poor aim aside, Eve actually looked pretty handy in the field. It didn't seem credible she would accept a secretary's job ... a bit of a blow to feminism?
Well I'm assuming he did do Eve ;)
Silva was a pure menacing villain i actually felt really uncomfortable when he got close to bond tied to that chair.Daniel craig is also on top form and seems more relaxed into the role.
only complaint i have is the soundtrack it could have been a lot better.
And about the music: It has grown on me, but I always liked Arnold, so I wouldn't mind him coming back.
But the Breadcrumbs-part when the DB5 is revealed is pure genius. Great reaction from the audience too!
I felt uncomfortable during that scene too. The pitfalls of watching at BFI IMAX lol
I know I would ;)
I do too..
Maybe he gave her a shave as well ;)
I actually think she'll work well as Moneypenny alongside M
CR won't leave my top 5 soon, but you know...
I just loved those little bits: like the fact that M had typed "COMMANDER" Bond... Here's to him in uniform!
:)>-
Why? how?
Did he? All I remember was Eve shaved him. Still, even if he did, it didn't show it. So there really isn't much sex in the film.
