At my age (63), the prospect of going to a movie theater - instead of reposing in my Lay-Z-Boy with an adult beverage, and viewing via widescreen Vizio and surround sound - doesn’t hold the same allure it once did.
That said, Skyfall was worth the price of the ticket, and the inconvenience of going to the theater.
The last movie I went to was Casino Royale when it came out in ‘06. It was and still is the best of the three with Craig.
I kind of liked the interaction between Bond and M in Skyfall. Their mutual respect was portrayed well, and it bordered on real love, in my opinion.
Best dialogue:
Kincade: So who is it we’re supposed to be fighting?
James Bond: No “we” in it. Kincaide. This is not your fight.
Kincade: Try and stop me, you jumped-up little shit.
Agreed on the best dialogue. Getting a little long in the tooth myself, and that exchange brought a smile to my face.
I agree with Casino Royale being the best Craig Bond movie. This will be blasphemy to some, but I like it better than any Bond movie. I like that it’s a more realistic version of Bond.
I liked Skyfall. I especially enjoyed the “old school” takedown of the bad guys. And I agree with your sentiment about watching movies in the comfort of home, especially because I can adjust the volume on the TV and rewind for mumbled dialogue.
