James Bond: Skyfall

What's not to like?

All the other crap out there has vampires or aliens in it or some combination of these fighting cowboys or some other whacked out Hollywood plot.

Give me a good CIA plot, MI5 or MI6 (even though they are not officially supposed to exist), TV shows like Hunted, slow moving movies like Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (great plot!!), Spy Game, Killer Elite, all the Bourne Series and I am a happy guy.

Yeah, ^ I love action flicks, too.

A very long time ago I used to love Harlequin romances, but not anymore. This Bond movie was reminiscent of that sort of emotional drivel.

The flashlight on the moors...! Can you say "here I am, come and get me" any clearer?

Saw the Bourne film the other day and quite liked it. Love the new guy! Great plot, moved well, with the exception of the woman, being a fumbling idiot, it was good. I loved the concept of viral alteration of RNA...

I love the old Bond series with Sean Connery. I found Pierce Brosnan too weak and artificial in his delivery. I didn't like him as Remington Steele, either. He is has more in common with David Niven, physically and intellectually, but....not sure why he never clicked for me.

Sometimes, I think it is not so much the actor as it is the script they give them.

At least Adele's song for the movie got nominated, she might even get that much coveted Oscar's trophy. :thumb:

I really liked it - it had that 60's vibe going for it!

That's why its gonna win. :thumb:

I hated the blowing up of that poor, sweet car, too! What a waste of good metal..everything is made of plastic today. (maybe it was just a wee kit car..you know, the kind people put together with glue)

They did not blow up a real DB5. They used models created with a 3-D printer.
