Okay, so, yeah. I really liked this. The only Craig Bond film I've enjoyed.

I said before I was shocked at how huge the budget was. Well, it's all on screen. I can't remember the last time I saw a blockbuster so light on CGI. Cars, planes, helicopters - all practical and shot on location. Tons of fun, and Craig FINALLY works in the role, which, honestly, may have a little something to do with his disinterest in the part at this point. He feels casual. Less uptight, less serious. I thought this was the first entry that felt genuinely Bond since Die Another Day (which, don't get me wrong, was terrible, but at least it still felt like a true Bond movie).

A great way to send Craig off, and it makes me wish his prior films were this good. I left with a smile on my face.

Also, Dave Bautista is awesome.

Well now I'm looking at seeing this. I hated Craig in the previous ones. Shit, LV. Now my hopes are up.

Was that last act all in his head as he was getting drilled?
I went to the bathroom and feel like that's it but I missed something.

That's a bummer of a theory. But it's not anything more than just that.

The helicopter scene at the beginning was fantastic. Also the dialog when Bond was getting drilled.

That helicopter scene was pretty staggering because it was also so clearly real. I don't know how they pulled it off.

The plane scene was also awesome. Man I love snowy mountain Bond stuff. :luv:

It was a great Bond movie for the first half, then settled into a pretty mediocre Bond movie. Nevertheless, Craig is a great Bond and I really hope that's not his last one.

Honestly I thought this was the least of all the Craig Bond films.....

Change mediocre to 'terrible,' and you've got Skyfall. Does not give me hope.

Without solid second-half pay off, I have no interest in watching 45-60 minutes of good Bond movie.

No, I meant all of Skyfall is terrible.
