skyfall more like skyfail

I am still trying to get over how bad this movie was

how can anyone possibly like it

 

[2xL]

I agree, it was terrible. Yawnfest.

 

[wantingtoknow]

it was a typical bond movie, what did you expect
I loved how that evil person's plans unfolded so smoothly

 

[SylviaB]

no it wasnt a typical bond movie

the bond girl is killed after ten minutes

no gadgets

villain was goofy without being menacing

plot was really uninteresting and disjointed, and absolutely full of holes

the final scene is anticlimactic as fuck, as well as being utterly absurd but not in the usual enjoyable way

not sure if talking about quantum of solace

here's a thought, if you're going to leave "digital breadcrumbs", why the fuck did you have to take M with you?

why not put her into hiding, and get the fucking SAS to blow the hell out of skyfall when silva rocks up

 

[Kiraken]

I thought it was pretty good but they completely neglected the "hard drive" part of the plot where all the agent names are revealed. Iirc they never retrieve it lol

 

[SylviaB]

die another day was practically a parody of bond films

now skyfall has gone to the other extreme

they had to constantly remind us that we were in fact watching a bond film and not just a vapid action flick

yes. they also completely neglected the whole "gets shot twice, falls off a moving train into a river and then down a waterfall and magically ends up banging some girl on a beach somewhere"


and it is made clear that bond heard m say to take the shot, and given that M says it no less than three times, he could have simply gotten the fuck out of the way so she could make the shot

oh and apparently this guy is a "ghost", and yet they are able to identify him on the basis of his bullet and find out his immediate flight schedule in almost an instant

and why did they get him to assassinate that guy? I thought he needed to do all that shit because of the body guards, but they were in on it all along, so why not save 4million euros and do it themselves

for a movie trying to be all serious and realistic, they really ought to have skipped the cgi man-eating komodo dragons

moneypenny was awkward, unnecesaary and forced. her being the one responsible for the shooting apparently served only to provide some funny banter/flirting between them, and her appearance in the film full stop was apparently just so they could reveal her to be moneypenny in the end. the actress playing her also can't act which only made things worse. And seriously, is being a secretary really the next step down from being a field agent responsible for shooting cunts with assault rifles?

and where did he get the aston martin? The original aston was destroyed in goldfinger, and the one he won in casino royale wouldn't have been fitted out with all of the mI6 gadgets. this really threw the continuity of the reboot

qos was boring but the story was not disjointed

 

[Shadowdude]

Haven't seen Skyfall yet though. Might see it during Christmas and New Year, rope a few friends into it as well.

>enter thread after enjoying the movie prepared to rip op a new one
>reads thread and notices the shitty parts (especially the hard drive wtf happened to that)
>leaves quietly.

i didnt feel like i was watching a bond movie. and after i came out of the theatre i felt they could have done so much better with the villain and the ending.

and also it felt like craig wasnt on the screen enough.

embark on a rouge operation resulting in the unnecessary death of england's head of intelligence?

oh no biggie, see you back at work next week

They were already going to fire her so I assume they would actually be able to really swiftly replace her and get over it anyways.
So that's not even a bad part.

Most of the rest I agree with except the parts I fell asleep for.
I practically never fall asleep in movies and I fell asleep in this.
So it was good.

Also, the friend I was in popped her bond-cherry to this movie.
She thought it was good so I wasn't going to tell her otherwise.

Also, Craig looked terrible (still has a good body though) so I was a bit disappointed because that's mainly why I saw the last three.

Also, are they going to get rid of Craig after this one? That's only three. That's pretty shit.

i think he's signed on for the next two. (well i know for sure he's doing the next one at least).

he definitely doesnt age as well as brosnan and the others.

he's not even that old!

I would still totally bang him though.
He has a pretty rocking bod and looks pretty okay in a suit. But sort of out of place too. I like it.

(Also, Brosnan looked terrible from the beginning so it's not like he had anywhere to go down to.)

Also, completely agree that Moneypenny was a terrible actress.

dude, he would probably have gone to jail. Whether or not they have a replacement ready is irrelevant.

Also,craig looked terrible

i reckon hes starting to look like this guy

 

[Riproot]

Nah, M knew about it so they would've just covered it up. Duh.

i reckon hes starting to look like this guy

bond manages to hit two tiny ladder rungs but not a whole fucking human body

and then when silva stop climbing the ladder, bond stands there like a fucking moron instead of shooting him, that thing he spent the previous few minutes and the following hour trying to do
