007: Skyfall - Page 2 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

SimpleS14 · 10-31-2012, 04:35 PM

Just saw Skyfall here in Europe and I must say it's a good movie. Its really different from what you would expect from a typical James Bond movie. Then again, this is the Daniel Craig era, so the films are more "real" (if that makes any sense). The throwback references were a nice touch and Naomie Harris is such a cutie! Without really spoiling it, this movie shows a more personal side of Bond and a must see if you like the Daniel Craig era.

SimpleS14 · 11-09-2012, 12:24 PM

Anyone else watch it yet?

hobbs · 11-09-2012, 12:35 PM

Went to the midnight release last night, I really liked the movie, it had a different feel than the earlier movies but was still really well written. I wish they developed Silvia a bit more...seems like he needed to be a bit more evil rather than just a personal vendetta.

2tonecoupegrl · 11-09-2012, 12:42 PM

Waiting for blu-ray release

bc. · 11-09-2012, 12:55 PM

I will see this in theaters tonight.

I don't really care if Bond is slightly changing, it couldn't stay the same exact 'cookie-cutter' model forever.

Got Insulin? · 11-09-2012, 05:13 PM

Just saw it last night, and I think that Craig signing on for TWO more films might be the greatest thing to happen to the franchise since Connery.

nekrodev · 11-09-2012, 11:47 PM

Saw it yesterday at the local IMAX, was a good movie, but I don't really think of the Daniel Craig movies as real 007 films. He's a good actor and they're still decent movies, but they just don't have the same feel.

Pierce Brosnan was always my favorite Bond, he just looked the part perfectly.

iRONDONkey · 11-09-2012, 11:49 PM

just got back from it.

it wasn't that good.

tricky_ab · 11-10-2012, 06:00 AM

Absolutely...incredible!

Mendes has to do another one, that blew me away and the pacing was great leading to that terrific ending.

onehundredoctane · 11-10-2012, 06:06 PM

Saw it last night, LOVED IT! Without question one of the best Bond movies in a while, I love how they restored the originality of the Bond movie in this one. Not trying to give too much away, but all he had was a gun, a radio tracker, a car, and his wits, like I said, original Bond!

Jez · 11-11-2012, 11:40 AM

I went and saw this last night, thought it was a really good film, better than Quantam of Solice and on a par with Casino Royale.

Loved the fact they worked in the Aston Martin DB5, that said anyone that knows Astons would get the fact one would never make the trip from London to Scotland without breaking down

I still think DC is the best Bond by far!

*fliprayzin240sx* · 11-11-2012, 06:04 PM

I saw it Friday night at IMAX. I liked it due to all the nods they made to the classic Bonds.

As far as people hating Daniel Craig, I like him as a change of pace bond. All the other Bond has been the happy go lucky, playboy type. While he took it on as a dark, serious, I dont need to say jack shit to sleep with you kinda Bond. I think they'll probably change Bond in the next movie since it seems like they're changing people anyways. New M, new Q, might as well be a new 007 next...

collegekid · 11-11-2012, 06:14 PM

I saw it last night. I agree with flip and have some things I want to add

-This bond film had a lot more emotion to it; it seemed a lot more relate-able
a-they showed the whole MI6 as a more normal government facility instead of this secret magical superspy headquarters
b-MI6 showed more "responsibility"
c- M was a lot more emotional in this
-There was a lot of interesting storyline. My friends did fall asleep for about 5 minutes for a scene where they were talking in the movie, but they were waken up pretty fast
-the entertainment value was pretty high; $11 to be well entertained for 3 hours without boredome
-The only thing that upset me a little was towards the end. I feel as though M could have said something better. When you see it, you will know what I'm talking about. I just think what she said was bullshit, not what you would ever expect M to say.

Probably better than inception and the recent Batman movie, IMO

Edit
-I also hated how Adele's song was played on the radio like 20,000 times before I got to see the movie, so I disliked watching the intro for the movie (which is a personal favorite thing to do)

I think DC will be around for at least the next few movies, he's not past it yet!

Didn't see Inception. Did see the most Recent Batman and this was far better. This was excellent $6.50 well spent. Ya Bargain Matinee at the Classic and Famous Vista in Los Feliz.

Engaging throughout. Daniel Craig did an excellent job. It was Ironic with the whole Scotland deal because Sean Connery is from Scotland and was one of the early and Iconic Bonds.

2slow2go · 11-11-2012, 07:51 PM

i didnt like it that much. when i go to see 007. i want to see cool toys and explosions and hot girls...

Fortunately, I don't listen to radio and while I was overseas they didn't play it once while I was in a taxi. I'm usually "meh" during the opening credits cause it seems so drawn out, but I thoroughly enjoyed this song throughout.

Where do you spend $6.50 to watch movie in Socal????

I watched last night. I liked it much better than last Batman and I think I liked it as much as Inception but nothing less.

Is that chick from last scene new M?

Z33dori · 11-12-2012, 12:19 PM

i really enjoyed it

it is hard to say if the next one will ring a new bond, i really enjoy DC tho, he's good

topnotch1 · 11-12-2012, 12:26 PM

it was good, but not as good as Casino Royale..

XxHybridx · 11-12-2012, 04:38 PM

Really good movie. Really wished they developed the villian more tho. His parts were really good. But besides that, pretty badass.

Bobafreak · 11-12-2012, 06:09 PM

You guys are fuckin critical! lol. jebus! I think craig is an awesome Bond character. Im looking forward to seeing it this weekend.

SimpleS14 · 11-13-2012, 07:52 AM

** SPOILER ALERT **

This is one of my fav scenes in the movie. I think it will be a classic clip.

Shit, I pad $9 for an IMAX showing at 945 at night...

d_nice · 11-13-2012, 08:33 AM

great movie guys if u havent seen it..go an see it

240sxcure · 11-13-2012, 08:41 AM

I think Casino Royale set the bar high for these bond movies and Skyfall was comparable, Quantum of Solstice not so much.

However, this film couldn't touch Dark Knight Rises. Bane was a far superior villain and more of a threat in comparison to Bond's villain which made DKR a better film.

HyperTek · 11-13-2012, 08:44 AM

The local regency theater has $5.50 matinee.. or I could go to the nicer place for $7.50 which is a longer drive. But I never been to this regency place so i might give it a try lol

Someone mentioned that he's signed on for two more Bond movies. . .

Bobafreak · 11-13-2012, 10:43 AM

its 11.00 for amc here and 9:50 matinee.
the other theater its 7.50 for anytime and 5.50 matinee downfall the seats are worse than an s13 with the metal bar sticking on your back due to no cushion.
