lots of people likes these daniel craig as bond flicks, but i really don't see what is so good about em. they supposed to be james bond movies, cool slick talkin mo'fucka who fucks, drinks, sometimes kills and got amazing gadgets, not really a action hero
m:i4 was more like james bond movie than these new bond movies are, they more like bournes

Casino Royale is actually pretty damn good. Quantum of Solace is disappointing in comparison. It felt like an epilogue to Casino Royale and not a movie unto itself. I definitely recommend watching Casino Royale. In my opinion, it is better than all the Brosnan Bond movies. And I have a feeling this new one will be better than Casino, especially given the people involved--Director Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Road to Perdition, Jarhead) and Cinematographer Roger Deakins (Shawshank Redemption, No Country For Old Men, etc.) Not to mention that Javier Bardem is the villain in this new one. I am pretty sure that is his silhouette walking toward the frame away from the burning structure near the end of the trailer.
went to see this and i liked it. it was cool, because of the 50th anniversary of james bond franchise, so there was lots of little jokes here and there about the past and it had the old school bond feel. action was dope, final battle was the shit. good cast. adeles theme song is great. imo this should've been first of these daniel craig bonds, story was like a reboot
as a travel movie, this wasn't that good, lots of scenes in england, other countries were turkey and china

I don't think it even deserves that much, its receiving way too much praise when its completely mediocre in every way possible.
Go watch Flight or Cloud Atlas instead.

I thought Skyfall was avery good movie. The Cast was good, The Villain was better than the other 2 villains in the craig era. the cinematography was my favorite part of the whole movie. oh yeah and i enjoyed the story. If you dont mind me asking where were the flaws? going to see this again with some buddies and want to see what you're talking about.
Didnt get a chance to see Cloud Atlas but Flight IMO was the biggest let down for me this year. I went in there with high hopes of a great movie and left extremely underwhelmed.

The action was the biggest let down, compared to Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace its absolute garbage. I hardly remember there even being any action because there was such a lack of it, it was mainly useless dialogue that was far from interesting. Basically, it needed more breathtaking stunts and action period.
Being a long time fan of the bond series here's some more problems I have with it:
No bond girl, and as we all know Moneypenny doesn't count. There really hasn't been a love interest since Daniel Craig has taken over, and this movie just continues with the tradition. M dies, which is fine but considering your killing off a character (technically just the actress) that has been part of the series for over 15 years in such a uninspiring way makes me pissed off. There's so many things this movie just demolishes I can go on and on.
The gay villian, I don't care if people think he's insane or if he provides comic relief. Why make the bond series so dramatic and serious as of late then throw this kind of role in there? It's stupid and not funny. Speaking of that the jokes were garbage too.
Sure, I agree with you on the story being enjoyable but look at how much they sacrificed to invest a majority of the movies time for that to be the selling point. Can't argue with you on the cinematography, it probably is the best in any bond film period but that's still a small feature. Regardless I hate this shit, I don't see why people are eating it up but w/e, I'm just mad being a long time fan of the series to see it come to this. I'm not one of those people hating on Daniel Craig either, in fact I loved Quantum of Solace for its insane action, but this movie is one of the worst in the entire series next to Moonraker...
