Going to see it tonight, looking forward to it - judging by reviews, the best Bond in ages! Anyone else going to see it?

Saw it this morning... brilliant, I agree with what some people have been saying about it being the best bond movie ever made. Craig is awesome as Bond again, the villain is good, the action is good and some of the quieter bits even better. 10 out of 10 for me. Enjoy it man it beats batman as the best movie I've seen all year its really that good! :-)

Less than a week to go, here in Italy You won't be disappointed, I'm not even that big a Bond fan to be honest I just love Casino Royale and the odd Connery film but even I loved just how "Bond" it was, with the return of Q, the references to previous films, the Aston Martin DB5 etc.

Golden Eye and Casino Roayle are the best Bond films of modern times. Quantum of Solace amongst the worst, couldn't stand that bore fest.
Looking forward to Sky Fall, though!

Just come back from the cinema - wow! As a film, it just kept getting better and better, and the finale in Scotland is amazing. Daniel Craig undoubtedly on a par with Sean Connery on this performance. It is arguably the greatest Bond film ever made.

Totally agree, I like how the trailers hadn't given the scenes in Scotland away, made it more of a surprise and yes Daniel Craig is a brilliant Bond, I'd say this is his best outing as bond yet

I'm going to see it on Tuesday I think. I have a funny relationship with Bond films. I find most of them to be absolutely awful but I still watch one if one comes on the telly.

i've always been a roger moore guy, but with that said this one looks really great, it will be the first bond i've gone to see in many, many years.

I totally understand where you're coming from Plastic Geordie (or toonfan). The main complaint with this Bond film, aswell as Casino Royale, is that Daniel Craig's Bond is a deep, psychologically scarred character and that he should be the non subtle overblown cliche that Roger Moore was and much of Pierce Brosnan's Bond, whose only decent Bond film was Goldeneye.
There's only so much you can do with that - if it weren't for Craig's Bond then the terrible Die Another Day would have signalled the beginning of the end of the franchise. I think that film started to show the massive cracks in the franchise and the only thing to do was reboot it drastically. He's still Bond but just more.
Along with Skyfall, the best Bond film for me was From Russia With Love - not overblown, realistic (on the Bond scale of course) and Sean Connery not only comes across as a hero but a real man too, just like Craig (though Connery to a lesser extent) and not the cartoon character's that followed (though George Lazenby's character had potential but he was a 'wooden' actor, and Timothy Dalton's films were more Bruce Willis like than anything). This is my own personal view on books or films - I always think a strong character is the most vital element. And the best thing about Craig's Bond films (apart from Quantum) is that it plays out like a film and not just crash-bang-wallop cartoon strip. With a lot of Bonds, you remember distinct highlights but wouldn't go out of your way to watch it all, but with Casino Royale and Skyfall, I want to watch it from start to finish. I think it's only common sense after years and years of the same old format that began to get stale to reboot it, and in doing so, I think it's made the Bond films once again relevant to cinema after more than 40 years.
I think the biggest compliment that can be given to this James Bond is that it is the Bond that most resembles the one in Ian Flemng's novel.

Looking forward to Sky Fall, though! quantum wasn't really as bad as you think. it just didn't stand up to casino royale. the worst bond film of recent years was die another day. that was craptastic.

What is the Villain's name this time? Let's hope Skyfall is better than what the trailer gave me.

Some writers writing bullshit saying the last bit of the movie (in Scotland) is the worst, while others like myself saying it is brilliant. Frankly, that last third of the movie has a warmth to it that no other Bond film has ever given and is so much better for it. Critics missing the point of it completely probably because it is unlike any other Bond film.

I really enjoyed the film!! the plot is a little bit flaw though. 3 points:
1. the way he 'died'.. the lady could have had several shots and got the list, plus the scene lacked enthusiasm.
2. Bond girl was gorgeous and three or four scenes werejust not enough.
3. If they've sent the false signal, why would they be in the same spot waiting for the villain and no one could have helped??
daniel craig is great as Bond. couldn't get why Skyfall was the title too.

I must say that the ending was superb. I just couldn't believe it when James Bond is revealed to actually be a ghost!
