This isn't James Bond. It's just a fairly good action thriller. What is James Bond? Bond is the guy with suave, unbeatable demeanor, you know bond is going to survive and then have his Shaken Martini! This guy drinks Beer!? It's a shame the 007 franchise has became so serious. We're used to seeing Bond in impossible situations and then the punch lines, the famous punch lines.....Hahn...the days of James Bond is gone and 007 Craig are here. As I said its good, but its not a James Bond Film. I can't figure why they changed the format so drastically, the old films always had huge audiences and made plenty of money. I would rather have the action back, who's going to remember complicated acting dialogue over ACTION and Shaken, NOT Stirred. To bad well probably never see a real James Bond film again, as long as the critics put complicated dialogue over action sequences, I mean I thought I was watching a Shakespearian play, not a action packed 007 movie. Writers and publishers, producers and Directors, get your balls back and make these films the way they were intended! Screw bad reviews from people who would rather be watching CATS anyway!

He drinks beer because it's an issue with Heineken and consumerism, not the character of Bond. Heineken bought the rights advertise its beer in the Bond films. I don't like it either, but get used to it.

And again, I'll say that Craig's interpretation of Bond is accurate to Ian Fleming's vision of the character which is evident in the 007 novels.

The whole beer scene defines the character's feelings during that moment. He was KIA (supposedly) and deteriorated to a beer-drinking alcoholic. Do you really think that there'd be any suave martini-drinking on that island that he was on?

I hated Die another day and skyfall both the same to be fair, only die another days plot made more sense.

This movie makes Moonraker look like a classic.

We've laid out our beefs over the ending in an essay called "Five Reasons SKYFALL Fell Flat"... http://www.dearcastandcrew.com/letters/2012/11/16/five-reasons-skyfall-fell-flat.html

I've seen a few Bond films in my 60 years but this one is THE WORST I've ever seen. The theme tune and the view of the casino as Bond arrives are the ONLY good things worth mentioning. Even the acting of most of the key roles wasn't the best I've seen them do but I don't suppose the lame script helped in that regard. The whole premise/plot was pathetic and bland to say the least, with some absolutely terrible parts thrown in to put it beyond doubt. Why the hell ANYONE found this to be a good film is beyond me and I can only assume, that those who have made positive posts here (which mislead me to waste my time and money watching it), haven't seen the previous GOOD Bond films to compare it to.

If you've seen the GOOD Bond films and you're expecting some of the same in this one PLEASE BE ADVISED that it is NOTHING LIKE any previous Bond film I've seen and I strongly advise you NOT to waste your time and money going to watch it.

Most people who found Skyfall to be a good movie never managed to articulate why it was a good movie. I think the glaring plot holes and non-sense don't bother these people as they do to us.

I'm sure some of the hundreds of critics do a decent job of that. Everything about it was good, and the plot holes you claim aren't distracting unless you look for them.

Richard Dobson

The critics are all ideologues who will give a crap movie a high mark if it pushes the right political message, and a good film a crap mark if it dissents from the bien pensant orthodoxy.

JD the plot holes ruin the movie because they are distracting. I felt MI6 was being beaten by their own stupidity. Not a genius.

i agreed with dyson, for me the plot and lack of logic in the script spoilt it all. and i agree when you say paople who liked this movie never explained why they liked it with examples

Roger Moore called Skyfall the best Bond movie

You are everything wrong with moviegoers. You claim to be the shining beacon of light among a generation of Michael Bay enthusiasts when you're actually worse - at least they are generally too stupid to voice an opinion and actually just enjoy themselves.

You're the quintessential movie-snob. Every film has to have a profound purpose, a genre-defining message, anything to populate your mind with opinion and philosophy as you clearly totally devoid of it yourself. You can only enjoy one kind of film, to the point I was able to predict three of your list of the "besterest films I ever saw" before I even read it (though did get a chuckle at the honorable mention of Moneyball - which while entertaining, doesn't scratch the top 25 of anyone who knows what they're talking about). Movies can be champions of various aspects of film-making, and while Skyfall is not at that level, it is easily in the top 5 or 6 Bond films.

Every film doesn't have to be a Shawshank (also my fave film) to be enjoyable or even good. So please drop the condescension - you are not nearly as intelligent as you believe yourself to be and your opinion on film is entirely pedestrian.

You shouldnt generalize. I saw Battleship and enjoyed it because its a no-brains action movie. I enjoyed Shawshank redemption because of its character and plot driven story. I hated Skyfall because it saw light on mindless action but the plot that should have taken its place was poorly constructed, making little sense. Not all of us expect to go back to classic bond with gadgets and cars. But a bad movie is a bad movie. I pose this question, if the main character wasn't James Bond, would you have thought it was a good film?

So much bad and so little good. Why did they have to blow up the Aston Martin? And I kept thinking that maybe this is what our current scandal involving the CIA director is all about and that is why they are withholding all of the facts.

They did not blow up the real aston martin the one used was a fake.

Yeah this movie was pretty lame. No hot bond girls, way too long and boring, Silva the best bond villain ever? Yeah right... cyber terrorist, how lame can you get? I actually fell asleep during the movie and kept checking my watch to see how much longer I had to sit there. And that retarded ending with his stupid gatekeeper. Now if that secret tunnel in his house had gone to Hogwarts and harry potter and gang had showed up, the movie might have been saved. But no. How disappointing to find out the meaning of the title... it was like meh, who cares?

You probably got horny the first time you heard the title "Octopussy".
