Im a huge Bond fan but I think Skyfall is the worst ever .
Worst plot . Worst song . Worst stunts . Worst comedy . Worst baddy . Worst ending .
I just dont see the attraction of Daniel Craig as Bond . Bond films these days seem dark and too atmospheric . . . Why ?
And another thing . . . . . With Daniel Craig as Bond(not his fault , down to production) , What has happened to the Monty Norman music . You never get the big key change in it anymore when the big stuff happens .
Every word is spot on.
I've not been to the piccies in a decade, and I didn't rush to go and see Skyfall.
I borrowed a copy off someone a few weeks back, and to say I was underwhelmed, wouldn't be far off the mark. Poor from beginning to end.
Craig is just too 'cold', even in love scenes. I hate that 'staring into the middle distance' look, he always does, trying to seem moody. I know each Bond actor has his own style, but his just doesn't engage me.
No Monty Norman stuff during the film was a poor decision.
Mind you, if that nob-end Chris Evans browbeats his audience for at least 20 minutes of every broadcast, for 2 months, about how good the film is, you know it's going to be shite.
Back on theme.

Moment
When Bond saves the world at the end of Moonraker, shooting the pods that are going to destroy the world....great accompanying soundtrack. John Barry at his best
Comedy line
The last bit of Moonraker. Bond and Dr Goodhead (top double-entendre) are floating in zero gravity, obviously "on the job".
Frederick Grey (MoD) "My God, what's Bond doing?",
to which Q replies "I think he's attempting re-entry"....quality
