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 1373 Views

What exactly is a "popcorn movie"? Tom - 11/03/2013 08:40:32 PM 873 Views

Bond movies are only plausible as comedy Tom - 11/03/2013 08:39:10 PM 995 Views
I thought it was alright A Deathwatch Guard - 11/03/2013 05:33:43 AM 955 Views
I think I answered that question in my other responses. Tom - 11/03/2013 08:46:50 PM 892 Views
I've seen all of the old ones A Deathwatch Guard - 13/03/2013 05:42:30 AM 1035 Views
I've recently rewatched a couple of Roger Moore Bonds on TV... ironclad - 11/03/2013 12:13:04 PM 995 Views
Yes. It needs to take itself far less seriously. Tom - 11/03/2013 08:44:17 PM 931 Views
Skyfall, itself, I'd put in the top three of Bond movies. Palatine - 11/03/2013 01:14:26 PM 1282 Views
I shudder to wonder what the other two are Tom - 11/03/2013 08:48:38 PM 970 Views
I haven't been fond of Daniel Craig James Bond. Fanatic-Templar - 11/03/2013 05:57:41 PM 1256 Views
Joyless! Yes, that's a good word. beetnemesis - 11/03/2013 06:24:03 PM 954 Views
Neither have I. The charmless, joyless thing is part of it. Tom - 11/03/2013 08:45:21 PM 878 Views
To be fair there is one scene I liked a lot in Casino Royale Fanatic-Templar - 14/03/2013 07:26:19 AM 1256 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 966 Views
The new Bond movies are anything but realistic. Tom - 13/03/2013 01:51:00 PM 1008 Views
why did they need a reboot? Every Bond movie ever made money random thoughts - 17/03/2013 12:02:14 PM 990 Views
^ This. Exactly this. I agree 100%. *NM* Tom - 17/03/2013 04:48:26 PM 459 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 941 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 957 Views
I couldn't agree more with your post. MonCul - 26/03/2013 12:10:38 PM 935 Views
It should have been called "Bond fails at everything he tries to accomplish." ßelals Girl - 13/03/2013 12:43:42 PM 956 Views
Yes, it's because I remember when Bond movies were fun that I posted this. Tom - 13/03/2013 01:52:37 PM 946 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 997 Views

I really appreciated that. Tom - 17/03/2013 04:47:10 PM 1014 Views
As dead as his eyes? Because he has some seriously creepy eyes. *NM* Zalis - 18/03/2013 01:58:08 PM 514 Views
