Could Skyfall be the one to remember Daniel Craig's era as Bond?

What are your thoughts on this? Am I alone on this one here?

(Do not think I am belittling your comment Ace. I am also very excited. I am just commenting on the general atmosphere.)

Still hard to decide if it will eclipse 'Casino Royale', but I feel it will as everyone loves the debut Bond, but as we know, others are often loved and remembered greater for the right Bond ingredients, and 'Skyfall', with the plot, villain, music, titles, THE line and hopefully gunbarrel, could be the perfect mix and Craig's standout Bond film!

No more of that teasing stuff like 'Quantum Of Solace' had. That did the job as a tease for the man himself, but we're on Bond territory now so god hoping we have the music back!!

Skyfall's success as a Bond film hinges on three things (in my opinion, of course):
1) Whether or not Silva will be a classic, worthy, iconic villain, (fingers crossed, but he does look a little silly so far, but the story will make it work or not. We may have a performance on par with Heath Ledger's Joker.)
2) How M's relationship with Bond will change, move forward, or whatever happens, and
3) Whether Craig's performance is classic or just a bunch of clips of the latest technology that will be dated in five years the way much of Brosnan's movies felt. I think Bond's jump into the train car as he adjusts his cufflinks has settled that debate for me already.

And I say that as a fan of Moonraker.

Either way, the core of what we know about SKYFALL's story and composition can certainly give it sufficient grounds to ultimately be known as the best piece of cinema to feature James Bond. Time will tell.

does anyone know if Quantum will appear in Skyfall? Or will Skyfall be the Goldfinger of the Craig era and be the one that omits it?
I remember Craig said that he was done with that storyline and organization and wanted to move on to another new adventure. Since the four gap between Skyfall and Quantum Of Solace, I like to say that, yes, Bond is done with that and in the four year period has done other missions. Maybe in the future they may try to conclude what was started, MAYBE. As for now, Skyfall is here(almost haha)

Note also, that the longer the time period between Bond films, the better the result seems to be. The long wait from LTK gave us Goldeneye, from DIE they delivered Casino Royale... and now they have had plenty of time to arrange everything properly for Skyfall.
So yes -- the stars have aligned for this one to be a truly epic Bond.
And that, I believe, was my 1,000th post on CommanderBond.net . How time flies!

I believe they've learned their lessons from Quantum and are doing everything properly this time.

Congrats, friend! Here's to 1000 more.

This, I hope, as said in other threads, could be the 'Goldfinger' or 'The Spy Who Loved Me' for Craig's run.

I hope 'Skyfall' will NOT be Craig's 'Die Another Day', because that film was hyped no-end, but then on face value it was a horrid Bond film and the fall-out afterwards pretty much helped stop Brosnan's run of Bond and usher in a new direction for the franchise.
This, I hope, as said in other threads, could be the 'Goldfinger' or 'The Spy Who Loved Me' for Craig's run.
And that's why the release of every Bond film were switched from odd to even numbered years since 2002. Bond 23 supposed to be released on 2007, which would become the perfect year for Bond.

Who knows. Since Craig may still do a few more (I'm hoping for a total of five, myself) Craig's defining Bond film could still be a ways off. Or...it could be Casino Royale.
Only time will tell.
I was actually going to say just that, and then realized I probably already said that in this thread Judging from all we now know about Skyfall, I think it very well could be his "Goldfinger." I still think Casino Royale will be the one to remember since it was so different, and also because it was the first (and so far only) Bond film that received almost unanimous praise.

Skyfall is on my mind so much that I found myself humming the theme song on and off through the work day today.
But as much as I'm waiting with baited breath for it to open, I would be pleasantly surprised if it tops CR.

The longer gap after TMWTGG also delivered TSWLM.
That being said, the theory doesn't always come off... we had to wait 3 years to get DAD.
