Just once, but I'm going to see it again today. I went to see both CR and QoS twice too, seeing the new Bond film twice theatrically is my own tradition. Only film I've seen over 2 times theatrically was The Exorcist re-issue in 2000.

5th viewing tonight. I'm having a great time. Two of those times with Mendes and Craig in attendance.

[x007AceOfSpades]

I feel obligated to see it for a third time this weekend.

[Yellow Pinky]

Once last weekend (opening weekend here in the US) and I'll be going again in just a few hours. Saw it in IMAX the first time, but today will be at a regular cinema. I'm going with some friends who haven't seen it yet, and my fellow Bond fanatic 17 year old daughter, who was also at the IMAX showing with me. I'm so proud of her!

[Iceskater101]

I am going to see it for a third time today at 4!

Me too! I'm going to see it for the third time tomorrow.

[thecasinoroyale]

4th time for me this coming Tuesday... and then I'll bow out so I can keep it fresh for Blu Ray!

[sharpshooter]

I hope to see it at least two or three times.

I see it for the first time in one week. Really excited now!

[byline]

Twice. I hope to catch it a third time before it goes to DVD/Blu-Ray. I would love to see it in IMAX, but it would mean a long drive to Halifax. Past Halifax, actually, going to the airport. Not sure I'm up for that.

[JimmyBond]

Had my third viewing today. While the film is still fun the third time around, it might be time to call it a day with Skyfall. At least until the Bluray. In the meantime if I need a Bond fix I still have the 22 other films to rummage through

[Goodnight]

Seen it twice now. Interesting the bits I'd noticed second time round.

[WasteOfScotch]

Twice.
And Twice is the only way to live.

[Iceskater101]

Ha! ^ I am actually going to see it a 4th time this weekend because my mom is making me go see Breaking Dawn Part 2 with her and we are going to see Skyfall again also, so 4 times..

[MarcAngeDraco]

Will be departing shortly headed out for my 4th. This one a late night showing (11:40 PM) in IMAX

[thecasinoroyale]

For my final viewing, I really honestly think I enjoyed it the most lastnight. I don't know why, I didn't fight it..I don't know, I just really let go and fell into the film.

I let the soundtrack take main stage this viewing and let it wash over me in every scene, and really I have to say Newman is growing on me with what he's done for 'Skyfall' - it's never distracting, he has crafted a score that compliments every scene and tells the story without dialogue needed. An exceptional score, very mature for James Bond and very well done. I think stand out tracks are 'The Bloody Shot', 'The Chimera', 'Silhouette' and 'Skyfall'. Beautiful.

Also, the framing of shots and cinematography really stood out for me, not by choice, but as I knew what to expect and what was happening, other things stuck out to me. Nearly every framing shot of Bond is something spectacular - wheter it be high angle, low, close or far away. Every shot he is in, he emits a deadly air of sophistication but also a human being and thought Craig really shone. Lots of 'hero' shots too of 007, with great backlighting and shadow use which I found very geeky - Craig certainly has this 007 role bagged up.

And I fell in love with the final act. I think having seen it 4 times, and each time being caught up in the blistering pre-titles, the espionage story and action pieces, seeing the final act stripped back, laid bare and simply use diegetic sounds, neutral colours, a handful of characters and a great humane story, I relished it more than ever. I actually left the cinema shocked how much that for me was my favourite part of the viewing. I fell in love with James Bond as a character, as a human and as a real man and I'm not ashamed to say it! I could finally see the boy in him who lost his parents all those years ago, and the boy who knew the moors like the back of his hand. Seeing and hearing Bond and Kincade, I finally tapped into the character, and Craig looked to me as if he'd actually grown up there as Bond just for this role. The chemistry is magical between these two who've known eachother all their lives, and it shows on screen from the sly cheeky smiles, the knowing looks shared and warm conversations. It doesn't need to be loud and in your face, but even the Skyfall battle isn't very grand when you look at it - once the gas canisters are brought out, it's all over and 80% of Silva's men are taken out before they get to do anything. It's brutal, but it's real, and it hooked me from the minute the Aston took the long drive through the moors.

You'd think this was my first time review, and in someway, it felt like it was for many parts - and that's the magic of 'Skyfall', and James Bond films, in that without knowing it, things can surprise you without you thinking twice and you see things in a whole new way that makes the experience that much greater. The film has rocketed up in calibre for me now, and I can't wait to share it again on Blu Ray/DVD.

...the end!

Got in viewing #6 today. A smaller auditorium, very small and disappointingly subdued audience, hardly any audible reactions to anything. But the movie was still great.

[bill007]

# 4 today. Yes, audience is thinning out, with all the newest releases. But, I remain loyal, defiantly so. I've waited 4 years for this, and I will continue to enjoy it as long as I can.

[The Dove]

Just returned from my 3rd showing of Skyfall..keeps getting better and better with each viewing!! I am planning on seeing it probably one more time in the theater before calling it a day until the film is released in March on DVD..

[Iceskater101]

I wasn't able to see it a fourth time this weekend.. :/ oh well I have seen it three times that's enough unless I know someone else who wants to go and see it.

[archer1949]

Twice so far. I'll probably check it out at least two more times while in the theater.

[Forward Look]

Five times already, the most recent being the day after Thanksgiving Day in the U. S,, and it was difficult to get a seat this time around because the theater was packed. At least I never got bumped.

[The Dove]

Just returned from my 4th and most likely final time of seeing Skyfall in the theater...The movie certainly has NOT lost any of it's flavor and I keep discovering little things in the movie each time.. I can definitely say that Skyfall is now my 2nd most favorite Bond film of ALL time (after Casino Royale of course)!! Smaller theater and only about 30 or so patrons...somewhat subdued..only a slight ooh and ahh at the Aston Martin DB5 reveal but still an overall positive reaction to the film. Think I'm quite content to let the film run its course and sit back and let the anticipation build for the March 12th DVD release!!

[JB007YH]

3 times- twice in Imax (within 24 hours of its release in the US) and this past friday(normal projection film). Love it every time I see it

[jamie00007]

Twice. The first time I saw a movie in the cinema twice since Casino Royale. Its funny, my initial reaction on first seeing the film, despite LOVING it, was that, like another favorite, FRWL, it wouldnt be one I'd rewatch a lot. But I've since seen it again and feel like going back for a third!

I've seen it twice as we'll and only saw QOS once as we'll. Plan on seeing it again next week, and agree that the movie has really good replay value.

[Yellow Pinky]

I'll be seeing it for the third time tomorrow afternoon. The first viewing was in IMAX with my brother and 17 year old daughter (both of whom are also bonafide Bond fanatics), the second in a digital projection standard theater (with my daughter, again, and some friends). Tomorrow's viewing will again be in the same digital projection theater, this time with my wife as we head out of town for a couple of days to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Can't wait!

Twice now, first in a regular showing and last night on IMAX. I really liked the IMAX--this was the first feature film I've seen in that format. You really get to see the nuances of the performances, as well as being really immersed in the action. I'll probably go back a third time to see it in regular format--don't think I'll be able to get back to it before The Hobbit replaces it. Then the wait for March!

[Matt_13]

Four times now.

[Baccarat]

Just back from a second viewing. Waited three weeks since seeing it on opening day and it was perhaps even more enjoyable this time around. But that's it. Next will be the DVD on my faithful old tube TV. I know it will look fantastic!

[sharpshooter]

Twice. I'll see it at least once more.

Something I picked up before but the re-watch reminded me of. In the film, Silva notes its about him, Bond and M. Interestingly, all three get a scene sitting in a car, viewing them through the side window.
