Skyfall

[Bazile]

Went to see Skyfall on Friday .

I must say that I was somewhat disappointed , in the whole feel of the movie .

There is supposed to be something about a 007 movie , that makes it different to other movies – isn’t there ?
Skyfall was just like any other action movie , nowadays – yes , lots of explosions , but it lacked a certain je ne sais quoi

Have you seen it – what do you think ?

Totally agree Bazile. It was just another action movie. What has happened to the magic of Bond ?

[andy-hughes]

I'd agree, although because i never liked what made Bond films significant - the 'humour', the cliched lifestyle, Sean Connery, Roger Moore, that kind of thing - i was happy to watch an action film that had a lead character called Bond.

If you approach it like that, it's OK - not wonderful, but OK.

Movie franchises adapt or die.

Personally I was getting a little bored with the whimsical style of Bond movie which seemed to exist in a parallel more fantastical universe and had struggled to stay fresh after 45 years of gadgets and Dr Evils.

Clearly the newer movies are influenced by Bourne but still retain an element of 'enhanced reality' and scale.

Skyfall is one of the best Bond films ever, it's certainly one of the most successful both in terms of box-office and critical acclaim.

I have always hated Bond films - have never managed to watch one past the first 20 minutes or so. Just completely boring. Would like to see this one as it would seem it is different (and especially as Daniel Craig is Bond - which is the real pull of the film for me!!).

So you found the film OK then Andy?

[LoftyLottie]

Thanks Zeuhl!! That sounds just great. Will look forward to seeing it. Your post wasn't there when I started mine!!

[ChillDoubt]

I thought it was great entertainment, brilliant Bond debut for Sam Mendes and Daniel Craig just gets better and better as a cold, steely ruthless Bond.
Apparently Mendes is already on board to do the next one too.

Daniel Craig - Bold, Steel, Ruthless.............. LL has an attack of the vapours!!

[mccfluff]

i loved it, thought it was brillaint javier bardem is brilliant as the baddy. daniel craig was his usual pouty self but the film made up for that

[ChillDoubt]

Not Bold, COLD LoftyLottie, like the flannel that you need to apply to your fevered brow...!

[LoftyLottie]

How dare you call Daniel Craig 'pouty' fluffy - hmmmmph. I really do like quiet, steely, cold blue eyed men!! They present a challenge!!!!

[mccfluff]

lol, because he pouts and he has sticky out ears...

*runs*

[LoftyLottie]

Ha, ha, Chill Doubt. Cold is even better! I posted my last answer before I saw yours Chill Doubt. Getting to the soft centre is a worthwhile challenge!!

[ChillDoubt]

I always thought women were 'pouty', men are 'chiselled'.....

[LoftyLottie]

I'll get my own back Fluffy!!!

[LoftyLottie]

Who cares about the ears anyway

i rest my case...

[mccfluff]

lol lofty, thats the pic that always made me laugh cos of his ears.

I do like him, i think hes a great bond, but i don;t see the attraction

[LoftyLottie]

Always did go for blue eyed fair or fairish haired blokes Fluffy. And forget the body, it's his face that does it for me. Really dark hair is a real no no.

[Zeuhl]

And he's a scouser.

What's not to like?
