SKYFALL

We're talking about James Bond, and the fact it presented the best action in any film in the series means it deserves some credit. What exactly did Skyfall do that was groundbreaking?

like I said action for sake of action with lousy plot and nothing grounbreaking either so wants ur point that u prefer brainless action over good story

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...

well see that's the issue. your going into these movies and expecting the exact way bond has always been portrayed and thats just not the case with these bonds anymore. sure that will piss true diehard fans off but for someone like me who doesnt really care about tradition and just want to watch a damn good movie i think the new approach to the film is awesome. I thought this had more action than Casino Royale and Quantum was just so bad i honestly forget what action was in it. IMO this had perfect balance of everything that makes a movie a good movie. It had Action, Comedy, Drama, Great Cinematography (small for you but big for me) The Villain IMO was amazing aswell. sure he was gay and that might rub people the wrong way but Bardem killed it and he's the main reason i liked the movie so much. It's like you can feel how tormented he really is everytime he talked about M which is always huge for me going into a movie.

Well I'll end my rant by saying i was never a huge bond fan but always liked them for what they were. this movie upped my appreciation for bond and the direction it's going and cant wait for the next one and i'm hoping Mendes comes back.
