We went and saw the new 007 movie last night. Here's the trailer if you haven't seen it:
Personally it is my favorite of the Daniel Craig James Bond movies. A lot is going on in this movie - it is very hard to describe it or talk about it without giving something away. So don't click the collapse box unless you want to see spoilers.
Not spoilers: -The new Q is a nice revamp for the department. Also, he's a pretty face, so that helps. -The movie plays out in a very "back to basics" way, as my boyfriend put it. It is much closer to the older James Bond movies in plot progression (and in humor, I feel - something Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace was lacking imo). -Watch the fucking movie. Seriously. You meet some "new" characters. I nearly died at an end reveal for one of them.
SPOILERS LINE DO NOT CROSS
-GoldenEye references abound - Q even mentions the exploding pen. -When we started getting into the real plot I was afraid the big baddy would just be a reboot of Trevelayn but they did a very good differentiating between the two despite the origins similarities (although Silva does act a bit like Boris, which I doubt was accidental) -I figured they'd retire M but not like this. So sad. I'm glad they set up Mallory the way they did so that he wasn't the villain usurping power. -Moneypenny is back and they gave her character a facelift! <3
Good fun for everyone! Tell me what you think when you see it!
Just saw this today. It was really good. I'm not sure if I like this one or Casino Royale better. I'm glad they're going back to the original Bond style now.

Also this didn't feel like a Bond movie it felt like a M movie. It was Judi Dench's sign off movie. Which isn't a bad thing I thought it was cool that they dedicated so much of the movie to her story. So much so in fact that Bond was almost the secondary character and M was the main char.

I actually liked that, too, funny enough.

Just came back from it. I think all the effusive praise, in this thread and elsewhere, is off the mark. It was a good movie, but I enjoyed Casino Royale much much more.
As someone who has seen all 23 bond movies, I absolutely loved skyfall. They made tons of great references, and it overall felt like it had the structure of a normal bond movie, unlike the last two Daniel Craig movies. Overall, casino royale may have been slightly better (another great movie), but this one definitely fell like a better Bond movie- best since Goldeneye, imo.
Right, I can appreciate that, and I think that's the point that a lot of critics have made, if not as clear as distinction as you just made. Not being any particular fan of the bond franchise, a lot of those references probably went over my head.
Vrael -- It is, and I could definitely use a company with a commitment to flexibility, quality, and customer satisfaction to provide effective solutions to dampness and humidity in my urban environment.
Vrael shouted: Idk, I was looking more for a dehumidifer company which maybe stands out as a beacon of relief amidst damp and unpredictable climates of bustling metropolises. Not sure Amazon qualifies
sounds like moisture control is often a pressing concern in your city

Vrael -- Do you know anyone with a deep understanding of the unique characteristics of your carpets, ensuring they receive the specialized care they deserve?
Vrael shouted: I've also recently becoming interested in Carpet Cleaning, but I'd like to find someone with a reputation for unparalleled quality and attention to detail.
beats me, but I'd make sure to pick the epitome of excellence and nothing less.

Vrael -- It seems like I may need Introductions to multiple companies for the Topics that I care deeply about, even as early as Today, 6:03 am.
