    ...and then there's Skyfall, and holy shit is it awesome!

    Terrific Bond movie! Gotta give it to director Sam Mendes, for removing that awful taste Quantum of Solace left me with and for creating the sequel Casino Royale truly deserved. While I don't think Skyfall improves in every area, mainly story, character and craft, there are some things about it that are better like the action and set pieces. I also thought it was better shot, in some scenes my chin fell on the ground for how gorgeous they looked.

    The one thing that really dissapointed me was the villain. I'm sorry, but I thought he kinda sucked. He was basically The Joker, but with even more convoluted plans that made even less sense. But just like The Joker, everything just seems to go his way for some mysterious reason. And I don't like Javier Bardem at all, he tried to deliver a disturbing and intimidating performace but he just looked goofy to me.

    Nevertheless, great 50th anniversary celebration of James Bond!...

      Editing … Not nearly as compelling as in Casino Royale, but still great.

      Editing … I wasn't keen, he looked too old. Bond should be more, he should be what every man wants to be.

      Editing … He was 43, I mean yeah a bit old but I thought he still looked good for the role. In fact that's one of the weaker plot threads of Skyfall, it spends a good chuck of runtime telling you Bond's getting old and he's losing his edge, when in fact immediately after he becomes as awesome as ever. Doesn't make sense, or factor into the story at all. I still thought he was great, and he's still definitely a guy many of us want to be.

      Editing … He looked older than 43, he looked 53! I just didn't like him as Bond in this, I wanted somebody younger. Older guys can pull off the cool suave thing but there must be a young British actor out there that can do Bond. Tom Hardy is a brilliant actor, and my first choice, but I dunno if women like him enough. Idris Elba is smooth as fuck, and women love him, but he's getting on a bit too.

      Editing … Yeah, I wonder who's gonna play Bond next. I always thought Christian Bale would've been an excellent choice, but he's also getting old.
