I hope we see a return to the traditional James Bond elements (superweapons, complicated world domination plots).

Casino Royale was about a bunch of guys gambling for an amount that most billionaires wouldn't bat an eyelid at. Quantum of Solace was about water....WATER. If we wanted to see a water monopoly film, we'd just read the news about Syabas in Selangor.

I hope they at least feature some kind of WMD in Skyfall. James Bond is cool because of the over the top storylines and plot twists, not water monopolies.

Perfect choice by using Adele... definitely that 'classic' Bond feel can be felt.

As for the movie, I think it will be 'the most personal' James Bond film to date. It will not be just about fighting the baddies, but his own demons... you know the whole third-film take - pushing the main character to its limits. Javier in white/blonde hair is downright creepy.

Critics - "Skyfall" The Best Bond Film In The Franchise's 50-year history.

Newspaper critics rushed to print and celebrities took to Twitter after seeing "Skyfall," with many calling it the best Bond film in the franchise's 50-year history.

Reviewer Robbie Collin at British newspaper The Telegraph said director Sam Mendes' Bond was comparable to Christopher Nolan's darker, grittier "Batman" from the "Dark Knight" franchise.

"Mendes is unafraid to let the quieter dramatic moments breathe ... and ace cinematographer Roger Deakins makes the wildly ambitious action sequences the most beautiful in Bond's 50-year career," Collin said.

Baz Bamigboye at the Daily Mail gave "Skyfall" five stars on Friday, calling it "pure classic 007 fare, back on firm footing after the less than memorable 'Quantum of Solace.'"

Reviewers on Twitter praised the explosive action scenes, Mendes' directing, Dench's darker portrayal of "M" and Bardem's turn at playing a Bond villain.

British GQ magazine tweeted: "Just seen #skyfall. Daniel Craig is magnificent - you will not be disappointed." The Times film critic Kate Muir tweeted that she gave "Skyfall" five stars, calling it "a return to classic form and a great British bulldog of a movie."


...you go blonde Bond! Currently holds 100% on RT after 11 reviews.

yup, pretty much hope to return to some parts of the original 'bond'

i'm sure skyfall will need to return back to the some suave swagger of "Casino Royale" after the little dull "Quantum Of Solace".

Not sure if the sexual innuendo's will be back.. or at least the beginning of the movie intro/theme. cool2.gif

Pretty much a excellent villain we can expect in Javier Bardem (Raoul Silva). if he is any chilling portrayal as anton chigurh (NCFOM), if not better.

looks like reviews are very good. looking fwd to watching an timeless old friend cool2.gif

i'm not so sure of the adele's 'skyfall' track. no doubt she has excellent voice.

somehow it lacks the punch to be memorable.

Skyfall is excellent, storywise. With Sam Mendes at the helm, you'll see Bond like you never seen before. As in the movie synopsis, Bond's loyalty to M was tested.
The whole MI6 was caught flat footed when they didn't know or understand the enemy. Javier Bardem (Raoul Silva) was excellent. Though i guess to many peoples opinion maybe not equal heath ledger posthumous oscar performance, or maybe unfair to judge simply because TDK came first. Still, taking that aside, Bardem was still excellent. Notable mention too that has been her best 'M' portrayal to date is Judi Drench. Outstanding female cast, well i won't say the other female cast were just mere eye candy but little bite compared to Judi's role. Take nothing away of Berenice Marlohe (Severine), Naomie Harris (Eve) performances, 'M' is female lead!


Some traditional stuff associated with Bond movies are implied, not in your face. There were of some return of familiar Bond's props, the iconic Aston Martin DB5 (ejector button is still there. seen, not used cool2.gif), Bond's favourite walther PPK/S. Macallan 12 (or 18?) Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky, and Bond says "a waste of a fine scotch" or something like that. cool2.gif The familiar surreal sexy movie intro, little muted on the sexiness but miles better then QOS & CR's. The Aston Martin DB5, oh i did i not mention already? The DB5 gets to strut her blazing guns. thumbup.gif

The new Q (Ben Whishaw), gets more airtime then any previous Q. We'll also see some familiar old faces will pass on, probably new ones will continue their mettle in the next Bond instalments, so a few surprises to be revealed.
