Wearing a short bright red wig and heavy mascara, Marlohe is shown kissing her co-star before they have sex in front of a mirror.
the 2nd link (Marlohe in black) was just how pretty she. It was wasnt the reference of skyfall (since it was censored & not real link of THAT scene). THE reference of the censored was the above spoiler/description
casino royale was bad.. the skyfall is so much better.. just watched..
Well I actually did find Casino Royale better than Skyfall, but a good watch nonetheless. One thing I think longtime fans of the series will like is

the throwback to earlier Bond films; the jibe about exploding pens, the Aston MArtin DB5 and the ejector seat joke, introduction of Moneypenny and Q; this one truly felt like a proper follow up to Casino Royale, where we first introduced to Bond getting his double O status, this one sets the platform for future movies
Watched it yesterday in IMAX hall, story & plot arrangement, acting ,action sequence - 4.5 out of 5. Worth to spend more in IMAX cinema.

I think even Casino Royale had fewer gadgets. But I did miss a proper car chase in this one, with Bond only driving M's car and the older Aston Martin DB5, the typical chase setpiece was taken up by the initial sequence in Turkey.
I been seeing comments by some other lads & gals on other forums that they find Skyfall humour is dry & tooo much talking, not enough of 'action', story to them is prediCtable on that score i might suggest to them transformers 1-4, later 5, Avatar kinda movies etc Stig doing some driving on behalf the actors

I found the opening credits of Skyfall a bit underwhelming. Did anyone notice the use of repeated imagery like Bond's blue eyes or the paper target with the bullet wound in the chest? Casino Royale's opening credits felt a tad bit better but the Skyfall credits fit the theme of hopelessness and defeat well.
Although it seems highly unlikely now, I hope Sam Mendes won't be returning to direct future Bond films. IMO he's more suitable directing drama films, not Bond films. That's what Skyfall is actually, it's more of a drama, rather than espionage/spy film.
I hope either Martin Campbell would return or just take Nolan, although the latter is unlikely since he's planning on rebooting the film if he's directing.
If Sam Mendes will still be directing then fine, but make it more of a spy film. No more storyline about character's past coming back to haunt, or character's origin or anything like that.
I think it was an interesting take. We were waiting to see when we'd see Q and Moneypenny and the formation of MI6 as we've come to know. I do agree with your take though, it was not a spy movie. There were no xray glasses/exploding pens etc, no flights of fancy that we've come to expect from Bond films. Heck, there wasn't even a Aston Martin DBS, and that was used consecutively in both previous movies.
What Mendes did was bridge the gap between the current Bond and the past Bond. He helped us establish the platform for future Bonds, and I think he feels his job is done. He hasn't expressed interest in the next ones though.
not worth at all..go watch sinister instead..hehehe..skyfall missing sumting such as bond girls,more gadget and more cars and tech

Just back from watching Skyfall. Sorry to say this, not worth at all to watch cinema. I slept almost 1 1/2 hours. Lucky got blanket and comfort seat LOL.
When M die, I laugh like hell and couple behind me laugh as well.
The most boring bond ever. Not worth to download as well =`(
The best and leading is still Casino Royale.

agreed...boring and kinda not logic... bond got shot twice,fell from high place into a river,got washed out badly and still breathing.. silva, got stab once and die at d same minute...sigh
I thought Spectre was pretty good for me...not to the level of Casino Royale but pretty good nonetheless.
1. I liked the single continuous shot in the beginning, during the Mexico City parade, into the hotel and out the window, nicely shot I think. 2. Blofeld! And the origin story of his scarred eye. 3. Connection to previous Bond movies and Mr. White 4. The very real threat of over surveillance in today's society. 5. A better car chase than Casino Royale (but can't match the Quantum opening) 6. Finally the dynamic of old Bond films coming back, 1 main badguy and his henchman; Moneypenny, Q and M etc.
Dislikes 1. This felt like a homage...too many films are trying to redo past plotlines; Blofeld, Star Trek's Khan, Jurassic World, Force Awakens? 2. Too little of Christoph Waltz...we know he can be a really good villain but we barely saw him. 3. The romance plotline felt cheap. Made us feel like he's really gotten over Vesper after he spent 1 movie with her and 1 movie chasing her memory. 4. Only so-so action...the action never really took it to the next level for me. 5. obvious plot - kinda obvious who the bad guy was and the moment South Africa kena bomb after we just saw that they didn't vote in favour of the surveillance plan we already know who is the bad guy
All in all, if you can set aside your expectations, you'll enjoy this in my opinion. It doesn't do anything different, but at the same time doesn't get a whole lot wrong
