Well, there were Roger Deakins and Daniel Craig.

Decent. Not bad, not spectacular.

One of the best bondfilms. Best cinematography on a bond ever. Liked the fact that a lot of the battles were fought on homeground.

Baaaad and over rated. The relationships between Bond and women are ridiculous and there are many stupid moments in the film and the title of the film is pointless to the movie. It's actually a waste of a good title the way it's used in the film :/
I found it good to laugh at though :)

Bond without being Bond. Beautifully coloured frames, action that is slow enough to follow, thematic content. There's a lot to love in this Bond instalment. It's both a big leap forward for the franchise, and a bit of a sidestep incorporating more modern action elements that cast an appropriate thematic and occasionally visual shadow over the proceedings. Roger Deakins is phenomenal as the film's DOP, and the story is one of the most coherent in decades.

4 stars.

This is a terrific Bond movie. Serious (same mode as Casino Royale), but still with lighter moments, great cast, good action (although not too much). Story comes full circle. The climax could be a bit thighter and stronger, missed a real showdown between bond and the villian. But overall really fun and good Bond movie.

Really looking forward to the next one :-) I think i'll be back in the cinema soon for a second watch!. Also great fun to catch the many references to the older movies. Missed the cameo by Michael G. Wilson.......have too watch it again.

Major improvement over the dissapointing QOS.

But one annoying thing........the gunbarrel scene MUST BE BACK AT THE START......not the end.

The animated opening was the highlight of the film, it was just too beautiful (I said the same thing about Casino Royale), but this time I enjoyed the rest of the film as well. I don't have much to say about it though. Only maybe that spoiler

There were more of these little stupid moments that made me roll my eyes, like the CGI comodo varan or pocket tracking device. But overall it was a fine movie.

Hmm. Why do people even go to the movies...they seem to hate everything and then they have to comment about it on the internet. I enjoyed this film. Not as good as the first 3 original Connery's but pretty damn good.

Who do you work for? Where's the list? Pausing for 10 seconds before shooting to savor the moment. Deus ex machina. Implausible escapes. Campy one-line zingers. Single-serving Bond sluts. Blatant villain oversights. Kiss kiss, bang bang. The same, rehashed, cookie cutter plot again and again and again and again...

I kinda hated this. Not that anyone cares. Its pretty bad. One of the dullest action films I've ever seen. Quantum certainly has problems, but is at least exciting and suspenseful. This is so sterile. There's no feeling to its execution. Its very bland and the big set pieces consistently fall flat. What a disappointment.

Skyfall isn't the Best.Bond.Ever., but it certainly puts the franchise back on the right path. If we can get more of this, and no more Bourne copycats (Quantum of Solace), then there will be some great days ahead for Bond. Sometimes the old ways really are the best.

I am not sure if everyone realizes they kinda started the Bond series over with Casino Royal. It technically is the first one. Yes there have been many others over the past 50 years, and yes this does a fantastic job of doing some really fun throw backs and nods to its former glory days. They are putting it back into where it should be after some crazy ones like die another day.

With that being said this movie was overall really good and well done. and up there with Casino Royal. I guess the cheesy Bond liners (one liners) are not for everyone but that was always a bond thing. Javier Bardem was really good as always.

Is it the best script a Bond film has ever seen? No.
Is this going to win picture of the year? No.

Was it fun to watch and enjoy? Yes.
Does it do its job in entertaining its audience? Yes.

Not every movie or film you need to see has to be a master piece. It just needs you to enjoy it, have fun, and to escape reality for a while. Remember that and you will always have a good time with a good movie.

Am I the only Bond-nerd here to see the beauty in all the thousands of stolen lines and settings from older Bond movies? And the fantasticly BAD Bond-one-liner: "Why took you so long? - I got myself under deep water."
But otherwise, a decent movie that really felt like a worthy FINISH of the stories of Agent 007, and I was glad... Until the credits with the horrible text "Bond will return". GAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is it never enough????? Bond is a 60's hero, PLEASE put an end to his misery!
