Not interested anymore in Bonds 24 & 25. [-(
Btw, DTK, that's an impressive rundown. I don't agree with everything you've said there, but it certainly beats reading another 'best Bond ever' review.
I think as some others have said, when it boils down to it my problem is that I found it a strangely unengaging story and generally not very enjoyable. When you're not really carried along by the movie, you inevitably start picking up on the plot flaws. If the film is engaging and takes you along on the ride you will forgive all manner of dodgy plot issues. That said, I do think SF is riddled with unexplained character motivations and an extremely ropey story, to such an extent that you just cannot ignore it. Add in what was for me was a dreary and forgettable score (does any one really think it was any good?) and it's sleep time.
I'm just the opposite; I can't wait to see what they have in store next!
If you do not like bond movies do not go watch them simple as and all you did was re write the whole plot in a rant that makes no sense at all its just a rant and a load of bull.
so you did not like skyfall who cares
He is all for it and is playing you off.
That's exactly what I was thinking. I think there's some 'sarcasm' in there.
Apparently this thread is too boring for the SF fans and yet they just don't seem to be able to avoid dropping by to dole out a bit of abuse.
Apparently winding people up for a laugh is okay if your an SF fan. Next they'll be coming along and accusing us of being 'trolls' again.
He doesn't like the fact you're knocking SF in any way. I think he's probably very young though, bless him.
I think the argument here is though, that since SF isn't really just fun and it wants to be taken seriously, it needs more logic and less plot holes.
I liked the film myself but I think it's still a fair argument.
Exactly. This was the least 'fun' I've had in the cinema since dragging myself to see DAD. It's bad for very different reasons, but had I actually enjoyed it on any level I wouldn't care about the ropey plot.
Well the other thread lasted for 28 pages so if it's slowing up it isn't surprising.
And @Getafix, remember we have allowed you your own thread to bash SF to your hearts content, so please stop the digs at people who actually like the film, yes?
Someone talking some sense. Don't understand why people have so much trouble understanding this sentiment.
Skyfall was the most lighthearted of all the Craig films yet, and obviously meant to be more fun. I do think it is equally expected of us to take it seriously in the same token, though.
My better half described the film as 'depressing'. And she's a DC fan.
Yeah it did have fun moments and lines but it wasn't a Moore style romp or anything like that, the story was fairly serious and overall I think it wanted to be taken seriously.
Again...I loved SF. But, if people despise those who come in to 'appreciation' threads and trash those who liked it, who are we to come in to the 'disappointed' threads and trash them? Seems incredibly hypocritical to me. Let them dish out their opinions, before we derail yet another thread.
That's a lovely dream, but M meeting Bond in different parts of the world has been a tradition with the franchise since 1967's "YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE".

Why are people complaining about those who trash the ones who liked the film, and ignore those who trash the ones who disliked the film? That seems to be a constant theme on this forum.
you lot are funny i do not get why everyone is moaning about plot holes etc or why you slate sf so much I liked it action packed what more do you want if you do not get the plot or want to fill in the gaps wait for the dvd to come out and watch the extras. otherwise go to the cinema watch a film and enjoy it if you more concerned about plot holes then don't bother just buy a book.
Why did you feel it was necessary to criticize those who disliked the film? Why can't you just accept the fact that some people did not like it and found something wrong with it?
You can say that again
I think the very fact that they've cast Fiennes as M means the character will continue to loom large in the DC era. However, I am looking forward with optimism towards a more 'equal' relationship between them and something a bit more professional and less laden with psychobabble and trust issues.
Loved seeing the padded door back at the end of SF. Have been waiting that for about 20 years!
Troll you say?
Firstly, I am surprised that people are surprised at how offensive and aggressive people can be on this site. I have always found this.
Secondly, I made a pact, with myself, not to see Skyfall but my brother (who detests Non-Craig Bond with a passion) wants to see it again and agreed to pay for my ticket (I am easily bought).
So I will have my review ready soon. By the way my brother loved Skyfall so that is not a good start.
Certainly seems like it'll be a more straight-forward relationship. Looking forward to seeing how it unfolds.
And yes, I was joking in the above posts.
