    May contain very slight spoilers!

    Ok, so I am sure everyone is aware of the new James Bond film, starring Daniel Craig, Skyfall and I am sure alot of you have seen it! I for one have seen it twice and I didn't go to see it again because I enjoyed it the first time. I did, in fact, fall asleep. I fell asleep right at the start and woke up just in time to find out the ending. (I was really tired)

    After my friends telling me it was an amazing film, I decided to go and see it again and this time I saw the whole thing :D I really enjoyed it the second time round. I have heard a few people say that the "bad guy" just did not have enough depth to his character in compared to other films and that it didn't cut it because he wasn't trying to take over the world. I however think that this was a good thing and added some nice simplicity to the film and feel it did not detract in any way.

    What do you all think of it?

    It was really enjoyable. The Bond opening scene with Adele singing was pure eye candy. And I usually just sleep through Bond movies, they're not to my liking generally.

    Some scenes made me think of the Batman: TDK and TDKR movies. The Shanghai fight scene, the soundtrack at times and for some reason, Q (he first reminded me of the Scarecrow man). Then later I go visit Skyfall's IMDB page and the boards are spammed full of Nolan fans :D Seems like I wasn't the only one to notice. But similarities or not, I like both Nolan films and Skyfall the way they are.

    Daniel Craig is one of the best bonds there is. Haven't seen it yet, but I'm sure it's good.

    I watched it a few days ago! :eek:

    The beginning was really cool...so were some other parts, but I somehow wished there was even more action? xD

    I thought the introduction to the bad guy was pretty....lame on the whole? :p

    Anyone else felt that way?

    I'm not the biggest fan of James Bond so my opinion is slightly biased. I thought it was way too long and slow; I basically only enjoyed the last 30 minutes of the film. In fact I struggled to stay awake during the majority of the film.

    I liked it and I thought that the bad guy was hilariously sinister and gay. It was the first time I've seen an evil gay guy in a movie like that.

    I really loved the past few Bond movies, but this one disappointed me beyond belief. I didn't have extreme expectations but people said it was awesome. SOOOO disappointed, it was too long and boring imo D: not worth it at all.

    I've seen every Bond movie to-date.. An like you said CoS, the "bad guy" is
    refreshing, who knows, it may have generated a new breed of bonds..? It's
    unfortunate Daniel Craig isn't going to do anymore bonds.. He's definitely my
    personal favourite! (* next to sean connery lol *)

    I really liked it and I thought the bad guy was super creepy with his removable jaw and everything...

    Say what you want about the movie, but the opening is amazing.

    I can't believe I did not update on this topic. It was a VERY good movie and cannot wait for the next one. Though I do think Django Unchained was better. I hope they come out with a sequel of that one too.
