Skyfall

[Disco Muppet]

Well, went to see Skyfall the other day, I was quite impressed.
Must say, I picked the identity of his partner quite early on.
Two things I didn't like though.
Destroying the Defender at the start.
Not just that they destroyed it, but that they probably used about 14 to get it right :( :mad:
That and the bit where they destroyed the DB5 :BigCry::dbcry:
Other than that, I quite enjoyed it :D
Anyone else seen it?
Cheers

Yeah I really enjoyed it too

I loved the defender bit but your right as there was a bit about in in 50 years of bond car the top gear special. There was a line up of about 10 of them being used for the film.

Go old Bond , same as you could not believe they destroyed the DB5. Also could not believe you know who died at the end.

[Disco Muppet]

Mr Craig looked quite old and worn down in this one, which i suppose is fair enough.
I think it would be in my top 5 though, but I don't count anything with Roger Moore as being a true Bond film :D
My girlfriend hates watching them with me though, as she's a Bond fan and she claims my constant pointing out of Landrovers "ruins the atmosphere" or some rubbish :lol2:
Bit of a different bad guy, but very well done.

I saw it last week. Not the best of them some good scenes but the plot was a bit week. Daniel Craig did look a bit worse for wear but he was shot and left for dead and fell off a very high bridge in the opening few minutes enough to give anyone a few grey hairs. I thought the villian was far more evil in "no country for old men" . I enjoyed the bike scenes on the roofs very believable . I would avoid buying any cheap silver defers for a while.

Watched it last week, not bad some very good bits, and loved the British ness of it this time. Better than then second one but not the first one.

The Aston he drives is the one he won in casino, but that was a left hooker. This ones a right hand drive one.

True. He seemed to be becoming more bitter and misanthropic, bit there's still a hint of the old Bond cheek there :D I liked his trick with the scorpian

So THAT'S where he's from! I knew he looked familiar.
And yeah. Much scarier in NCFOM :eek:

Hmm yes. Very believable :D :angel: Hmmm, advertised as convertible, one lady driver? :D

Agreed, Quantum made very little sense to me :( Although I do like Casino, I think this is my favourite of the three.

Well spotted, didn't notice that. I wonder what the button did.....

You sure about that??? I thought it was a nod to the DB5 that Connery drove in Goldfinger, complete with the gadgets - machine guns behind the lights, ejector seat (that's what the gear lever button was for) - that were used in the Connery movie...

[Ean Austral]

Cant say it was one of my favourite bond films, was disappointed to be honest maybe due to the ratings it was given before I seen it.

The DB5 was the one from the connery films, Goldfinger I think, I see Moneypenny is back.


Cheers Ean

[ozscott]

Saw it today. Much more interesting than the other Craig ones... Love the Welcome to Scotland line.

No Country For Old Men was an excellent flick. The bady from it and Skyfall is actually pretty funny... Said he wanted to be a bond girl.

Cheers

Ps love the realistic sound of at's scrubbing through the corners.

[SeanyG]

nearly cried when she started taking the wing mirrors off a mean looking defender!!!!!!! #women drivers

[Disco Muppet]

I guess that explains why bond and moneypenny never make good on their many innuendos.
"what's that scar?"
"the time you shot me....."
"oh....yeah...."
:D

[SuperMono]

Made our annual visit to Gold Class today for this film.

Thought it was great entertainment, no Bond film is an artistic masterpiece and they are not meant to be taken that seriously.
Could have done without the DB5 having 'extras'.

DC is my No2 Bond, SC is The Bond.

[Pedro_The_Swift]

Certainly one of the best,,
I like how all the action bits are "real" not CG.

I'm fairly certain in the next one he'll be full of beans again,, we cant have JB continually showing his age!
Cant believe they killed off M:o

Bond was no spring chicken in the books.... :D
And technically, they just killed that particular M :p

Agreed.

Saw Skyfall last break for my birthday in the Gold Lounge. Only way to watch a good movie. The movie itself was good, though I think they are trying too hard to make a background story line rather than the action Bond is known for.
Did not like them killing off M and not very impressed with the new Q.

BMT216A was the original rego for Goldfinger and Thunderball, we are led to believe this is the vehicle seen again in Skyfall.
Great now I sound like a land rover driving Anorak.

I just love all the gurkha/commando traps. Someone has finally read a handbook, only took 70 years.

[clubagreenie]

Saw today.

Like the way they are filling in the background now they don't have any original stories left. Someone mentioned they didn't like Quantum, you really have to watch Casino & Quantum back to back as the storyline of Quantum take up immediately after Casino. And the background detail like the Stag at the gates at Skyfall in relation to the original Crest seen only once (maybe twice) with the motto as well tied into another previous movie. Things went a bit astray in the first couple of post book movies but went back on track from Casino.

[edddo]

Saw it yesterday. Thought the first half of it was great but ultimately left a bit disappointed. Too many B grade moments that I thought detracted from it unnecessarily...and just a bit too predictably unbelievable. Casino is probably my fav Bond film.

[JayBoRover]

Saw it tonight. Must say, I would never have picked a car chase scene using a Defender (beyond in something like "The Gods Must Be Crazy" of course) would be so good:cool:. Like someone else said, I loved the realistic "chirp" of All Terrain tyres in the scene. But with the Landy featuring and then the trail-bike chase all in the first few minutes, I was loving it ... then I fell asleep and the wife prodded me to wake me up. (I apologise to anyone in the theatre that my snoring might have disturbed;)). I stayed awake after that little lull and enjoyed the rest of the film. "Worth seeing" is my take on it:).

[Yorkie]

enjoyed the movie, as with all the previous bond films. :)

as my little one is too young to see it we got the next best thing for xmas...:angel:

X2...but the best bit is the chase with the 110 double cab:) how it keeps up with that Audi A5 is truly amazing!:p
