"Honest Trailers" is an enjoyable YouTube channel making fun of questionable Hollywood flicks. Now, it is Skyfall's turn:

Haha! That's brilliant and annoyingly rather true!

 

"Gollum...Santa Claus...." 

 

Thanks for posting - I'll check out the others in that series for sure.

Very funny and very accurate.

[JohnnyWalker]

Accurate isn't the word for it, but it's okay.

Accurate isn't the word for it, but it's okay.

I usually like these honest trailers, but found this one pretty weak and basic.

Must admit I did snurkle at the trailer fella's reaction to Severine's death.

 

Lucky them to get the DVD early!

Their Hunger Games trailer is spot on, their Avengers trailer is funny but irrelevant considering the silliness of the movie. But I think this time they just got a lot of stuff wrong (e.g. all countries have CNN in English; they take all of Silva's stuff so we don't need to hear about the drive anymore).

Very funny and very accurate.

I agree entirely but there were so many things they missed out on

[Mr Teddy Bear]

Most of it seemed to be reaching a fair bit, but they were on the money about the train sequence. Never occurred to me at the time, but I'm sure I'll still be able to enjoy the scene in the future too.

Of amusement.

[007jamesbond]

very well done...........I see they modify it to make funny from the movie 

[Iceskater101]

and sexy voldemort, can't forget about that..

[JimmyBond]

That was pretty funny.

and sexy voldemort, can't forget about that..

I think "private-school-stiff-necked-bureaucrat-who's-really-ex-SAS-Colonel Voldemort" is nearer the mark, but "Sexy Voldemort" is snappier.

"word association...office politics...art theory".   Surprised they didn't make more fun of Q. 

[archer1949]

The "Judi Dench Frowning.....a lot" montage was amusing.

 

 

But the "Home Alone" thing again? That's not even accurate. There are plenty of action movies that feature the outgunned, outmanned heroes improvising weapons and booby traps to even the odds. I thought it was pretty cool and shows that Bond doesn't have to rely on silly gadgets.

Hilarious! As much as I love the film it's always fun to see parodies or trailers like this that actually make sense yet succeed at being incredibly funny.
