Skyfall

[lifeisfiction]

I do not want the movie ruined for me, like bonds new ruined hair cut. I will not visit the thread till the movie is out. (I may peek from time to time, lol)

[RallyCola]

well...even out side this thread...if you have read any reviews, you see that this movie is almost a prequel to the bond series because of how it ends but that really doesn't ruin anything

[loveboof]

REALLY poor quality movie. The worst one of all J.Bond series. With participation of completely old, sick, tired, ill and almost dying actress as ex-"M" and with constatation of almost dying China communism.

Judi Dench is a great actress. And wtf are you talking about communism for?!

I doubt you've even seen the film to be honest, but if you dislike it for those two reasons that's fine. lol

I'm not a fan of the New James Bond (though i am going to see it at the weekend). My favourite Bond remains Sean Connery. The Bond fiims then had a gentle sense of fun alongside the action - a wry sense of humour. Although they look pretty creaky compared to the visual power of the new films, that sense of fun has vanished I think. Bond now is just anothera ction hero.

Great storyline for a Bond movie. Great action.
Excellent.
That guy obviously hasn't seen the movie.

[Prospero]

I don't get it - coming on here and claiming to have seen a film. What is the point of that?

[Avers]

>And wtf are you talking about communism for?!

Relax. The China communism. Or the communist China. The abandoned isle manifests the revenge of USA/GB to China (in this movie) for the China independent foreign policy of these last years. This is the best way to show to the whole world that communism in China does not exist anymore, that with help of money, industry and infrastructure the USA did to the China the same thing as they did to USSR in 90-th. The China communists transformed to capitalists. The abandoned isle in this movie is the best way to show to the whole world (and to the chinese people) the future of China without USA technological and financial assistance. Puf ! And this country does not exist anymore. The same as it happened to that isle.

>I doubt you've even seen the film to be honest, but if you dislike it for those two reasons that's fine. lol

No way to lol. Because if you did not check an enormous broken statue of Mao Zedong on abandoned isle (an Asian prostitute has been killed there, near Mao statue head, with the glass of alchool drink on her own head) this means only that YOU did not seen this movie. Or that you don't know, who Mao was. Or that you don't understant the sense of this epsiode. Of course, the USA propaganda works here well.

The things with J.Bond movies come from worse to worst. Each film is a good action play. But the question, common for all of them, is - what all these movies have common with James Bond stories, movies and traditions ?

because it feeds his ego.

that said, i do know someone who has personally seen it at one of the nyc screenings and decided to give me his review of it. generally our opinions are in sync for movies but i will reserve judgement until i see it myself because i was told that the main issue with the movie is the believability of the situations james finds himself in and the ease of his escapes each time. he said it ruined the movie for him because it was almost cheesy. cheesy or not, he does seem to coincide with the reviews that I have read that the so-called realism that Casino and Quantam had over the older movies is lost in this flick but i really don't care...it looks awesome so i will see it opening night if i can't get into one of the previews.

wanna hear something odd...i will try to find the link...but i read one review that was talking more about cloud atlas and argo and their chances for the oscar for best picture and the author actually said skyfall deserves a best picture nod.

its simple...this isn't a movie i was pining away for...anticipating its release with baited breath, but it does look entertaining and that's all that matters.

Oh WTF. Someone has been trying to write a piece for The Guardian and pulled some big theories out of their arse. You're creating your own semantics to support your theory.

Q: If you dislike Bond films so much, then why did you go and see this one?

[loveboof]

Why would a British made film, as part of the longest standing British movie franchise, be interested in furthering 'USA propaganda'?

The abandoned island is not saying anything about waning Chinese communism...
