I'm not sure mine is the definitive meaning, but nossy Send a noteboard - 15/03/2013 10:42:25 PM

View original postAre you trying to say low-brow? Because I'm judging Bond by low-brow standards to begin with. I'm not expecting a Tarkovsky art house classic here.

Yes-ish. It's something that sounds fun, and you know you can enjoy, but going to see it/"eating the popcorn" is as much or more fun than the movie.

I did enjoy it, but I didn't have high expectations, and I have never developed the "Bond Standards." It worked for me as an enjoyable movie.

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 1492 Views
I enjoyed it. nossy - 10/03/2013 08:01:16 PM 1070 Views

I enjoyed it more than any other Bond movie ever, yes. Legolas - 10/03/2013 11:19:29 PM 1056 Views
Bond movies are only plausible as comedy Tom - 11/03/2013 08:39:10 PM 1117 Views
I thought it was alright A Deathwatch Guard - 11/03/2013 05:33:43 AM 1063 Views
I think I answered that question in my other responses. Tom - 11/03/2013 08:46:50 PM 1006 Views
I've seen all of the old ones A Deathwatch Guard - 13/03/2013 05:42:30 AM 1145 Views
I've recently rewatched a couple of Roger Moore Bonds on TV... ironclad - 11/03/2013 12:13:04 PM 1115 Views
Yes. It needs to take itself far less seriously. Tom - 11/03/2013 08:44:17 PM 1044 Views
Skyfall, itself, I'd put in the top three of Bond movies. Palatine - 11/03/2013 01:14:26 PM 1392 Views
I shudder to wonder what the other two are Tom - 11/03/2013 08:48:38 PM 1092 Views
I haven't been fond of Daniel Craig James Bond. Fanatic-Templar - 11/03/2013 05:57:41 PM 1360 Views
Joyless! Yes, that's a good word. beetnemesis - 11/03/2013 06:24:03 PM 1066 Views
Neither have I. The charmless, joyless thing is part of it. Tom - 11/03/2013 08:45:21 PM 973 Views
To be fair there is one scene I liked a lot in Casino Royale Fanatic-Templar - 14/03/2013 07:26:19 AM 1373 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 1060 Views
The new Bond movies are anything but realistic. Tom - 13/03/2013 01:51:00 PM 1129 Views
why did they need a reboot? Every Bond movie ever made money random thoughts - 17/03/2013 12:02:14 PM 1134 Views
^ This. Exactly this. I agree 100%. *NM* Tom - 17/03/2013 04:48:26 PM 505 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 1031 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 1078 Views
I couldn't agree more with your post. MonCul - 26/03/2013 12:10:38 PM 1013 Views
It should have been called "Bond fails at everything he tries to accomplish." ßelals Girl - 13/03/2013 12:43:42 PM 1058 Views
Yes, it's because I remember when Bond movies were fun that I posted this. Tom - 13/03/2013 01:52:37 PM 1064 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 1109 Views

I really appreciated that. Tom - 17/03/2013 04:47:10 PM 1101 Views
As dead as his eyes? Because he has some seriously creepy eyes. *NM* Zalis - 18/03/2013 01:58:08 PM 557 Views
