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 1160 Views

Bond movies are only plausible as comedy Tom - 11/03/2013 08:39:10 PM 797 Views
I thought it was alright A Deathwatch Guard - 11/03/2013 05:33:43 AM 748 Views
I think I answered that question in my other responses. Tom - 11/03/2013 08:46:50 PM 715 Views

I've recently rewatched a couple of Roger Moore Bonds on TV... ironclad - 11/03/2013 12:13:04 PM 803 Views
Yes. It needs to take itself far less seriously. Tom - 11/03/2013 08:44:17 PM 749 Views
Skyfall, itself, I'd put in the top three of Bond movies. Palatine - 11/03/2013 01:14:26 PM 985 Views
I shudder to wonder what the other two are Tom - 11/03/2013 08:48:38 PM 774 Views
I haven't been fond of Daniel Craig James Bond. Fanatic-Templar - 11/03/2013 05:57:41 PM 948 Views
Joyless! Yes, that's a good word. beetnemesis - 11/03/2013 06:24:03 PM 759 Views
Neither have I. The charmless, joyless thing is part of it. Tom - 11/03/2013 08:45:21 PM 685 Views
To be fair there is one scene I liked a lot in Casino Royale Fanatic-Templar - 14/03/2013 07:26:19 AM 946 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 757 Views
The new Bond movies are anything but realistic. Tom - 13/03/2013 01:51:00 PM 815 Views
why did they need a reboot? Every Bond movie ever made money random thoughts - 17/03/2013 12:02:14 PM 792 Views
^ This. Exactly this. I agree 100%. *NM* Tom - 17/03/2013 04:48:26 PM 342 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 744 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 730 Views
I couldn't agree more with your post. MonCul - 26/03/2013 12:10:38 PM 719 Views
It should have been called "Bond fails at everything he tries to accomplish." ßelals Girl - 13/03/2013 12:43:42 PM 771 Views
Yes, it's because I remember when Bond movies were fun that I posted this. Tom - 13/03/2013 01:52:37 PM 762 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 808 Views

I really appreciated that. Tom - 17/03/2013 04:47:10 PM 824 Views
As dead as his eyes? Because he has some seriously creepy eyes. *NM* Zalis - 18/03/2013 01:58:08 PM 392 Views
