In understand.

I just don’t like HIM...he looks smelly or something. Ick. I get the same feeling from him that I do from Billy Bob Thornton.

I like the theme song:

“From Mister Skyfall
Pretty girl, beware of his heart of sky
This heart is fall”

In fact, in ‘Licence to Kill’ Franz Sanchez (Scaramanga) inexplicably hires Bond because FS is attracted to Bond.

LOL, you really don't like LTK. ;d

Anything else would defy logic. LTK to is probably the most Flemingesque James Bond Movie in the past 25 years, even more so than Casino Royale. The execution was just poor. The dialogue was horrible and the director lost control of Dalton.

I am glad I am not the only one who see the “Lethal Weapon” angle.

Will the media stop letting the producers count Bond films and declare theirs the “official” or “franchise.” This will be the 25th film.

Just back from seeing this (it was released in the UK on Friday, will be released in the US later)

Brilliant, absolutely superb.

The acting is superb from Craig, villain Javier Bardem and everyone. The script is superb, with a depth usually not seen in a Bond film. The story gives a depth to Bond, literally going back to his (Scottish) roots.

There are some lovely jokes and little nods to the Bond canon. Any Bond film which can include a passage from Tennyson and have your patriotic blood surge as a result is doing something right.

The cinema I was in actually cheered at a couple of the scenes. And had a lump in its collective throat at another.

The action sequences are pure Bond, but also contemporary.
No CGI, they are lean, hard and even brutal. The jokes are nicely spaced and the gadgets are kept to a minimum (which they even poke fun at...)

This is the ‘proper Bond’ of Fleming’s novels.
Go see it when it comes out.

How good is it?.

I am 90 mins out of the cinema, and I am going to go and see it again this week.

Thank you for your review. I was hoping it is well done. Sounds like it exceeds expectations.

Saw it last night at the midnight showing and would love to go see it again. I think it could become one of my favorite bond movies.
