Skyfall

Post by FlyingPenguin »

Best of the new Bond movies (yeah even better than Casino Royale, and I loved that one). May arguably be the best Bond film ever.

See it in the theater - it's wotth it.

Lots of homage to the original Bond films.

Keep in mind while watching it that the movie uses minimal CGI

I thought it was good, but I didn't get the same vibe as you did. I did greatly appreciate the homages that they made.

This is interesting. The abandoned island in Skyfall is real:

Yup, I read all about it a few years ago. Crazy that the island has survived so untouched.

saw it over the weekend...i'd give it a 7.5/10...very solid movie. the props to the old movies was a nice touch, along with the more "realistic" action scenes.
