The only question is whether it's better than Casino Royale, and it just might be. Well plotted and suspenseful, with exciting action sequences that you can easily follow. Very much worth seeing.

This was really very good, better than the 2nd in this series...although Casino Royale was still the best!

Just saw Skyfall and I have to say it was uninspiring. Daniel Craig proved he was a good James Bond in Casino royale (although everything else in a Bond film was missing from that movie). Quantum of Solace was better as he was just as good playing Bond and they filmed most of it outside in daylight and in somewhat exotic locals and there was a woman in the film that played a major roll that worked with him.

In Skyfall, well I just don't know where to start. There are way too many gaping holes in the story and time lines you just can't ignore (how can a bullet wound heal by the next scene and yet the time line is less than a week. Also he undergoes a helicopter attack which begins during the day and in the next scene it's nightime)? They put some gadgets in this film, but nothing really novel. Some of the action seems really forced as to just to put some action into the movie. The bad guy in the film is an interesting character and makes one think.

And they do have a lot of scenic shots of cities at night and countrysides during the day (one of the things I go to see Bond movies for because I'll never see these in my lifetime). Also they have numerous one liners in here that are really good. there is more to say, but I wouldn't want to ruin the movie for you

all in all, Skyfall is okay, but one doesn't have to spend the money to see it in a movie theater. I'd wait for a rental.

Boy you guys who liked this movie really got it wrong. It sucks...worse ever! Adele badly sings opening song and you see more skin in Victoria Secret commercials. First 10 minute action scenes are just ok. Bond gets "killed" twice by drowning and mysteriously reappears later with no explanation on how he survived. Javier Bardim's character is weird interpretation of abandoned MI6 agent looking for revenge...has bad blonde wig and non-british accent doesn't fit MI6 types...they admit Bond isn't fit but send him out to save Judy Densh alias M and she get killed kind of by accident...the whole thing is hogwash..don't waste your time or money. This should be the end of the series if this is the best they can do.

This was not my idea of the typical "Bond" movie. I didn't enjoy it as much as the earlier ones. It has some very good scenes, action sections, but not like the Bond I'm used to seeing.

This is a very good Bond, an updated one. I was getting tired of just gadgets and exotic locations. This one keeps the high octange energy of the Bond genre....but ya don't see much of the 50ish recent Bonds exploiting 20 year-old's. Gadgets....think computers and a very young "Q." Judy Dentch as "M" is wonderful as always.

You learn about Bond's early days, why he's an agent, and that he's far from perfect. 

Very good movie. Not the best Bond movie, but it delivers a good show for sure.
