We went and saw the new 007 movie last night. Here's the trailer if you haven't seen it:

Personally it is my favorite of the Daniel Craig James Bond movies. A lot is going on in this movie - it is very hard to describe it or talk about it without giving something away. So don't click the collapse box unless you want to see spoilers.

Not spoilers:
-The new Q is a nice revamp for the department. Also, he's a pretty face, so that helps.
-The movie plays out in a very "back to basics" way, as my boyfriend put it. It is much closer to the older James Bond movies in plot progression (and in humor, I feel - something Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace was lacking imo).
-Watch the fucking movie. Seriously. You meet some "new" characters. I nearly died at an end reveal for one of them.



Good fun for everyone! Tell me what you think when you see it!

Didn't read any posts in the thread because I'm going to see it in about an hour.

Haven't seen it yet but I plan to. Is the new Q actually good? It seems weird having some like 20 year old doing it instead of an old guy.

Australia/NZ got screwed over hard... we don't see Skyfall until the 22nd of Nov!!!

We're part of the british commonwealth for c[REDACTED] sake!
Damn it Bond how could you do this to us???

I have heard that this movie is great and the best of the three Daniel Craig's James Bond movies.
I definitely will want to check this out ^.^

It was a good film, not trying to take more than it can handle. Watch it.

I agree with this sentiment entirely.

Just saw this today. It was really good. I'm not sure if I like this one or Casino Royale better. I'm glad they're going back to the original Bond style now.

I wanted more gadgets. Why even bring Q in if all he does is give you a radio and gun.

That was part of the point of the plot, ya know.

Also this didn't feel like a Bond movie it felt like a M movie. It was Judi Dench's sign off movie. Which isn't a bad thing I thought it was cool that they dedicated so much of the movie to her story. So much so in fact that Bond was almost the secondary character and M was the main char.

WHERE DA WHITE CHICKS AT???

I actually liked that, too, funny enough.

Yeh same here mate.

Just came back from it. I think all the effusive praise, in this thread and elsewhere, is off the mark. It was a good movie, but I enjoyed Casino Royale much much more.

As someone who has seen all 23 bond movies, I absolutely loved skyfall. They made tons of great references, and it overall felt like it had the structure of a normal bond movie, unlike the last two Daniel Craig movies. Overall, casino royale may have been slightly better (another great movie), but this one definitely fell like a better Bond movie- best since Goldeneye, imo.

Right, I can appreciate that, and I think that's the point that a lot of critics have made, if not as clear as distinction as you just made. Not being any particular fan of the bond franchise, a lot of those references probably went over my head.
