LOVED it. I admit, I was gutted
Spoiler:
. Loved the new actors, esp. Ralph Fiennes and his awesome name (I said on FB, I just want a loop of Daniel Craig saying "Mallory" over and over and I will treasure it for all time) and new Q and his Scrabble mug were adorable. I love Naomie Harris, but I found it really hard to believe that
Spoiler:

Javier Bardem has really made a name for himself playing psychopaths with terrible haircuts, huh?

I thought Severine was gorgeous, but I couldn't get past her horrible fingernails.

At least you agree that Daniel Craig looked good in his suits. The tailoring for this movie was gorgeous.
Can't argue with that. I don't know anything about tailoring, but how does one make suits that fit a muscular guy so well?

I thought Severine was gorgeous, but I couldn't get past her horrible fingernails.
Also true, they were really distracting. Her makeup was so bad in that scene. She looked so much better in later scenes.

James Bond clothing There's some posts about the clothes, and the sort of bespoke work that can be done. Pretty much anything made to fit JUST your body will look amazing.

For a minute there I thought those lee press-ons were going to be a weapon like Rosa Klebb's shoe.

She did say she was taking queus from Famke Jansen's look, which is not a bad inspiration.

Just got back from seeing Skyfall, and it was awesome. But I think I may have been blinded by the ridiculously gorgeous cinematography. The fight in Shanghai alone was almost worth the price of admission. There was just so much eye candy (and I'd like to personally thank Daniel Craig for being so willing to take his shirt off)!

I loved all the call backs to the classic Bond films, especially the ones involving the Aston Martin. I don't it was quite as good as Casino Royale, but it's still one of the best overall Bond films, no matter who your favorite Bond is. But then again, I really liked Goldeneye!

I also just got back from it. It really was gorgeous, just visually stunning the whole way through. I enjoyed a lot of it, but I do also think it was a trifle too long. It doesn't surpass Casino Royale for me. But I'm overall pretty happy.

I loved it. But then, I kinda liked Quantum even though it was such a mess script-wise, so I guess I'm easy to please, heh. Would agree that Skyfall is one of the best movies in the franchise.

While I did enjoy SkyfallI don't think it comes close to the best ever. The pacing was *very8 slow and I felt like they could have fleshed out the vilian just a little big more. Bardem completely creeped me out but then all of a sudden he was just there and did a dasterdy thing in about 5 minutes and then that set up the climax at the end of the move. Way too much filler in this thing. I wish I'd seen it as a rentor than in the theater. I also think Daniel Craigs constant whining about playing Bond probably clouded my vision. And I swear at times I could not understand his mumbling dialogue.

That said, it is still an amazing action movie. I guess with all the hype I expected more. I do enjoy the new characters that were introduced too.

I am reminded that the opening titles used to be done by Maurice Binder. So would it be fair to say that Bond movies used to have "Binders full of women"?

Priceless, laddical!

I saw Skyfall on Friday night, and I enjoyed it immensely. I find myself enjoying (well-made, not too brainless) action movies more and more.

I'm not a Bond aficionado, however, and I find that I'll probably only enjoy Daniel Craig's ones, with their darker, more post-modern tone. I caught bits of The World is Not Enough yesterday, and although I was crazy about Pierce Brosnan as a teenager, I found him way too debonair and old-school macho for my tastes.

The opening titles were beautiful, as well as the international settings. They really are an escapist's feast, those 007 movies...

I saw it on Thanksgiving with the mister and couldn't stop squealing at the references back to the older Bond movies. Loved it. I feel like if Ian Fleming was still writing Bond in today's society, he would've written Skyfall.

And Javier Bardem can't get good movie hair to save his life. But I loved Silva -- comedic, sociopathic and menacing. One of my favorite villains.

I remembered halfway through the scene on the abandoned island that it's a real place. Another blog referred to it as seeming "to lie somewhere between James Bond and Greek mythology."

Interesting that the island is a real place, Miss Moneypenny! That explains why it was completely falling down, which the backstory provided in Skyfall did not, unless Javier Bardem's character was about 50 years older than he looked.

We went to see this over the weekend and both of us really liked it. I'm more steeped in Bond history than my husband (thanks to my dad watching them all the time when I was growing up), so I was really thrilled to meet Moneypenny.

And, I've got to admit, it took me about half the movie to get used to seeing Ralph Fiennes with a nose again.

You wouldn't believe the following Craig has at my synagogue. He's played a bad ass Jew a few times, married Rachel Weisz, he should convert already.

However my mom doesn't think he's handsome enough for Bond.

Really? Okay, he spent a good portion of this movie looking like death, but when he properly scrubbed up, he looked top notch. He's even getting over the duck lips he had in Casino Royale. And I say all this as a straight man.

Red Wolf, when Bond introduces her to his groundskeeper, he responds by greeting her as "Emma", but I don't think we're meant to take that as her actual name - more that he misunderstood or misheard Bond. If her actual name came up later, I didn't notice it, and I was on the lookout for it having been spoiled that we were going to learn what it was.

I have a question, and it's not about Skyfall, but Quantum of Solace :

When Bond and Agent Fields walk into the luxury hotel room in South America, Bond starts looking around while Fields just stands there. He's at the other side of the room and says something about not finding the stationery; next scene, they've obviously just had sex, or some such interesting activity.

But what the hell did I miss about stationery? Is it some kind of British euphemism for sex? Did I miss a joke?

Most hotels supply stationery for guests, so Bond is using it as a simple - but flimsy and obvious - excuse to get Fields into the bedroom.
