Yeah, wouldn’t want to compromise the integrity of the franchise.

Sorry, but “Skyfall” was damn good—especially the motorcycle chase in the beginning. The homo-erotic villain, not so much.

I don’t recall the authors continuing the series having their books converted. I would like to see a be approach to a bong movie or perhaps a bbc miniseries. Something with more mystery and smaller scale. Perhaps along the lines of from Russia. Wonder if the broccoli soup control all be movie attempts?

One of the dreariest, worst Bond movies ever

The last two Bond films have been cut so quickly - scenes shift so fast - it’s hard to make sense of what’s happening much of the time - or maybe I’m just getting old.....

They tried saying they would unmask Bond’s female boss as a LESBIAN:

People got super pissed and talked about the movie a lot —which was exactly their aim.

I’m convinced all the recent blather about a Black Bond is exactly the same play:

CHEAP P.R.

I haven’t understood what all the fuss was about since Sean Connery gave up the part.

Skyfall isn't my favorite, but there are some fascinating parts of it that I think have passed people by. This mostly has to do with the fact that the studio was going bankrupt at the time, and they didn't know it the movie would even be finished. They seem to have made a lot of design choices based upon saving money, but I think they did a stellar job of getting away with it.

Consider this scene, when Bond goes to assasinate an assasin:

Bond vs. Patrice

This whole set is almost nothing but an empty dark room with glass and some projected images. It had to be pretty cheap, yet it actually looks cool.

Skyfall has been labelled (sic)“nonsense” by Anthony Horowitz.

Concur.

Viewed it. Disliked it. This is the only Bond movie I refused to purchase.

Sure, it was the darkest Bond movie ever, but we greatly enjoyed it.

Daniel Craig does a far better job as Bond than Roger Moore, and I used to enjoy Roger’s Bond.

Sean was still the best. They don’t make them like him, anymore.

The last several Bond movies have just been orgies of special effects and CGI. Very little in the way of writing, acting or story line. Actually they’re incoherent.

The Craig movies are the only Bond flicks I can tolerate, and I thought Skyfall was fantastic. I was just rewatching some Connery movies, and I was surprised that they were total crap in comparison.

Skyfall seemed dark and plodding. Didn’t feel any of the wit and humor that belong in a Bond film. Decent tune by Adele however.

The last 30 minutes were awful and stupid and dragged and dragged. A dumb ending.

I wanted to walk out of the movie theater

No worse than the Roger Moore era when most of the Bond films followed the same formula on in different settings. Moonraker anyone?
