rehmwa 2 #32 November 26, 2012 enjoyed it enough, but not even close as good as the other two (especially Casino Royale) - still this Bond is head and shoulders better than all the others. Seemed to play more like Batman/Bourne than Bond (now we're full circle) - but it came through nicely towards the end. I like how it just took the first 3 movies and used them to set up the pre-story finishing here with all the nostalgia and set ups. Ralph F will be a perfect M. And even those same office doors and a Montepenny. ...

Skyrad 0 #38 December 2, 2012 QuoteJust saw the new James Bond movie. The color sucked. The editing was pretty good. There were a few lagging scenes but story line held your interest. From the rushes you thought there might have been some white/black love making but that never happened. You might have thought skydiving was involved from the title--not. Back comes the the PPK. I suppose S&W will sell many PPK's but the Polish P64 is much better, small and very accurate. The bad guy was hysterical and the most entertaining. Good flick worth watching but I'd wait for the video. The color on the big screen was just disappointing. OH they killed M off, and shot up Sean Connery's old car so I gather we're into a new era of Bond movies. I finally saw it today, the colour is what it looks like in the UK in Autumn/Winter. I enjoyed it, it could have been better though if some dick head hadn't mentioned that M died in the end.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

I saw it on the big screen when I was back in the states and picked up the DVD. I got home and hooked up a couple of new speakers to my stereo and connected the DVD player. Watched Skyfall in surround sound and had a great evening. It wasn't the bold new take on the character that the first of this reboot was, but I really liked the merger with the original series. I was able to totally sympathize with the Bond character's devotion to duty despite other things going on.
