I enjoyed it more than any other Bond movie ever, yes. Legolas Send a noteboard - 10/03/2013 11:19:29 PM

Is there a rule that says Bond movies have to be so very corny? More serious ones from time to time can't hurt, surely.

Of course you're not the only one who thinks Skyfall isn't really a Bond movie that fits in the tradition - I think it was the other Tom who said it was a very good movie, just not a Bond movie.

Where you get "retarded shadow of itself", though, I have no idea.

After losing interest 3 times in Skyfall,I realize the Bond franchise is a retarded shadow of itself Tom - 10/03/2013 07:06:31 PM 1456 Views
I enjoyed it. nossy - 10/03/2013 08:01:16 PM 1034 Views
What exactly is a "popcorn movie"? Tom - 11/03/2013 08:40:32 PM 927 Views

Bond movies are only plausible as comedy Tom - 11/03/2013 08:39:10 PM 1070 Views

I think I answered that question in my other responses. Tom - 11/03/2013 08:46:50 PM 962 Views
I've seen all of the old ones A Deathwatch Guard - 13/03/2013 05:42:30 AM 1097 Views
I've recently rewatched a couple of Roger Moore Bonds on TV... ironclad - 11/03/2013 12:13:04 PM 1077 Views
Yes. It needs to take itself far less seriously. Tom - 11/03/2013 08:44:17 PM 996 Views
Skyfall, itself, I'd put in the top three of Bond movies. Palatine - 11/03/2013 01:14:26 PM 1345 Views
I shudder to wonder what the other two are Tom - 11/03/2013 08:48:38 PM 1048 Views
I haven't been fond of Daniel Craig James Bond. Fanatic-Templar - 11/03/2013 05:57:41 PM 1316 Views
Joyless! Yes, that's a good word. beetnemesis - 11/03/2013 06:24:03 PM 1027 Views
Neither have I. The charmless, joyless thing is part of it. Tom - 11/03/2013 08:45:21 PM 939 Views
To be fair there is one scene I liked a lot in Casino Royale Fanatic-Templar - 14/03/2013 07:26:19 AM 1322 Views
That's why they call it a reboot. And let's face it, the franchise needed it. MonCul - 13/03/2013 12:35:11 PM 1015 Views
The new Bond movies are anything but realistic. Tom - 13/03/2013 01:51:00 PM 1088 Views
why did they need a reboot? Every Bond movie ever made money random thoughts - 17/03/2013 12:02:14 PM 1082 Views
^ This. Exactly this. I agree 100%. *NM* Tom - 17/03/2013 04:48:26 PM 486 Views
It's fine and dandy that the movies made money, but the point is the movies sucked. MonCul - 19/03/2013 11:00:22 AM 993 Views
They could have made the exact same movie and just changed his name and I would have liked it random thoughts - 23/03/2013 03:58:01 PM 1041 Views
I couldn't agree more with your post. MonCul - 26/03/2013 12:10:38 PM 983 Views
It should have been called "Bond fails at everything he tries to accomplish." ßelals Girl - 13/03/2013 12:43:42 PM 1019 Views
Yes, it's because I remember when Bond movies were fun that I posted this. Tom - 13/03/2013 01:52:37 PM 1021 Views
I think the answer is that different audiences enjoy them now. The usual darker/grittier redux. Zalis - 15/03/2013 07:58:04 PM 1069 Views

I really appreciated that. Tom - 17/03/2013 04:47:10 PM 1063 Views
As dead as his eyes? Because he has some seriously creepy eyes. *NM* Zalis - 18/03/2013 01:58:08 PM 534 Views
