"Operation Skyfall," go see it!

May be the best Bond film ever!

Go to the I-Max if you can, but it's great anywhere!

Easily one of the worst bond films ever, going back to Sean Connery days.

It isn't a horrible film, not what I'm saying. But as bond films goes, not that great. Nowhere near as good as first Daniel Craig launch of new Bond series.

As an overall film, yes worth the money but I rate it as just decent, not good or great. Against other bond films. 3.5 out of 10

However, I look forward to the release of every Bond film (even those with Remington Steele).

I think that Craig put some real life and vigor back into the franchise with Casino and Quantum.

It doesn't open in Sex Prison, until this coming weekend. I plan on seeing it with my gamer-spawn.

In this movie he is basically rewritten, maybe a prequel. In fact in this movie Miss Moneypenny is introduced eventhough the female "M" is killed off. The new Moneypenny may have been added to be politically correct and the new "Q" is whats up today, a computer Nerd that knows everything.

Still worth the price of admission guys! Fuck, it's just a movie!

I did like Argo!I wasn't saying compared to classic Connery bond films, Skyfall is bad. I said overall compared to all bond films, including those done by Daniel Craig in this current generation of Craig-Bond films, that it is bad. Specifically, even compared against the first Daniel Craig launch of in his first film as the new bond, Skyfall compares rather poorly.

Which in the end of course is an opinion so there's no real right and wrong on this one. Just the clarification that even if limited to comparing against only other Daniel Craig-Bond films, this one is probably the worst.

Outside of Bond v Bond comparisons though, I thought it was worth the money and still a decent film. If you're a bond buff though, the way they did the main villain plot in this one really broke the traditional mold of bond movies. Won't say anything else other than that for people that haven't seen film yet.

Every year that a new "Bond" movie was released my Father would take me to the theater and we would watch the movie. I became enamored with the "Bad" guys and dreamed of having an Island protected by an Army of gorgeous women. It stuck! Dominating the world!

I was taken to a shrink and he asked me if I knew the difference between right and wrong. I told him that of course I know the difference between right and wrong but I will always do what I want to do no matter what; whether it may be right or wrong! Excitement is the key to my life!

Oh well, I never saw the shrink again, worshipped the "Bad" guys in the Bond movies and lived my life.

How ironic that a movie can develop a child's life!
