Me and my oldest son have been doing a bit of pseudo binge watching of James Bond. Every weekend we have been watching two of the movies starting with Dr. No quite a few weekends ago. Last weekend we arrived at the Daniel Craig ones. I had actually not watched those ones before. I have to, grudgingly (I am a Sean Connery fan), admit that the first two we watched were not at all bad. However, today we watched …

How safe do you feel? Bond 23 and 007 has to literally come back from the dead when a stolen hard-drive makes M (Dench) look bad at a time when a face from her past comes homing into blood thirsty view. There is one sure fire fact in cinema that nobody can dispute, that of there never ever being a James Bond film that all Bondphiles will agree on. From each corner of the spectrum will come arguments that said Bond …

Skyfall understands, admires, and elevates Bond to excellence and mastery to an unexpected level and unmatched by its predecessors. Skyfall is The Dark Knight of Daniel Craig’s James Bond films. Sam Mendes took all Casino Royale had built and elevated it to heights never before reached by Bond. Everything fires perfectly on all cylinders. The story is rich and delves further into the character of a bond than ever …

By the time Skyfall dropped my hatred of Craig Era Bond was pretty solidified. I started to realize that this was going to be the Bond that hated being Bond. That Bond was going to go down a dark hole that I was really going to loath. But... Javier Bardem really nailed it didn't he? Javier Bardem nailed it. Judi Dench had her best showing as M... ever, in fact it was so good that it kind of made you made she was …

neutral · AI labelView post →Drop your crime fighting Catholics While he may not be the most observant Catholic, Bond's roots are deeply Catholic. As shown in the film Skyfall, his ancestors were recusants who sheltered priests during the Reformation and even had a chapel on their property.
neutral · AI labelView post →For me, part of the fun is watching how they navigate that; SKYFALL turned the dilemma into its theme and Silva (a villain created specifically by the unsentimental machine which Bond serves) feeds a film-long question that 007 is asking himself about the life he’s chosen.
neutral · AI labelView post →It's no wonder Skyfall is arguably the most popular Bond film: its construction makes it -- in a good way -- the most crowd-pleasing entry in the series. It halts progression of the larger external story of the Craig era in favor of an introspective one, further solidifying Bond as a mythic figure.

neutral · AI labelView post →And tonight, I've decided to watch the third Craig Bond Movie, Skyfall. I must say casting Judie Dench as M has been one of the best decisions the franchise made. She exudes authority with every utterance, in every movie.
positive · AI labelView post →🎬 Watched Skyfall with the community! Thankfully most of them hadn't seen it before. Easily the best Bond film imo, to this day. Great performances, and the best Bond villain in the film series' history! #filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →Skyfall is such a good Bond movie.
