  • Skyfall (2012)

    "Mommy's calling. I'll give her a goodbye kiss from you."


    Visually amazing, and the stunts/action were certainly entertaining as hell. The Macau scene was almost hypnotic, and the surreal-as-an-acid-trip intro is a must-see even for non-Bond fans.

    Of course, this entry (the "end of the beginning of Bond") scraps any sense of continuity, just like its predecessors Royale and Solace.

    Javier Bardem as Raul Sylva was a very charismatic actor. His clockwork-precise acts and expert digital terrorism show him as more than a mere character among others.

    Bond was actually kind of a prick at times, more so than usual.

    I liked Ralph Fiennes in this. He really sold his character, as well as Bardem did.

    Also, British Bulldog.

    Highly recommend.

          I love that the final cars are a '69 Camaro and a 70 Challenger with Hemi.
          Still my favorite of the series.

            That was a great twist moment and just looks awesome.

              • Saw it Saturday night with some friends. Surely didn't disappoint, especially being a lifelong fan of the franchise. Though, out of the movies Lin has directed thus far, this one had the most questionable moments (Longest runway in the world?). However, I'm glad they finally brought everything back to the "present" with this one and set up a sure-to-be EPIC seventh film. That one's gonna be transported to a whole new level.

                      LOL! At least he didn't use any references to Crank.

                        Fair enough, but The Transporter seemed the closest comparison anyway.

                                LOL! Great movie.

                                As fas as what I've seen...



                                Fast 6- This didn't disappoint. All of the elements that makes this franchise great were apparent in this installment. My only gripe would be the two Spanish guys (Don Omar and the other guy) were missing, so they had to ramp up Tyrese's comedic relief to compensate. Still, great action, good story, incredible action sequences and a nice twist at the end (possibly) leading up to Fast 7.

                                For those that have already seen it, did you notice that the movie was a bit dark? For the night action sequences, I could barely make out what was going on.

                                Question: will I be completely lost if I start watching at F&F 5?
