Yarrr matey, there be ghosts in the house
Seriously now, gerard 123, are you ok mate? Your replies seem to be poem shaped, is that intentional? because, mate, it´s as if James Joyce decided he was gonna drop the novel act and start typing poetry. Honestly, no brainwashing, no M detonation, ..., chill man And welcome.

i was always kinda angry that dalton was under rated
but look at craig
and the angry cold way he plays 007

more or less the same character

everybody loves craig
they were not too in love with dalton

wwwhhyyyyy

I'd say Dalton was simply ahead of his time. He adored the Bond of the books, the memory of which had been stamped out for a lot of viewers at that time. That sort of darker, more realistic and damaged hero is much more acceptable now - in fact, all similarly current and successful franchises feature them. Now is simply the time for a Fleming/Dalton/Craig Bond. Who knows? In another 10 years, the Moore-style Bond may be back en vogue.

Dalton never seemed to have "it". His serious Bond wasn't the problem. He just didn't seem big enough for the role.

You're likely right. That would e a big part. Especially after the world was expecting public favourite Pierce Brosnan, only to have him unwillingly back out and replaced by Dalton.

PS: Dalton RULES!

[FutureJamesBond]

Dalton was ok in my opinion. One thing I didn't like very much about him was the way he did the gunbarrels. He was acting like he was just on a stroll in the park, and then fired in this weird pose.

Sorry, haha not trying to be all nitpicky or anything, otherwise, I think Dalton was a fair Bond.

Well, at least his gunbarrels opened the films.

What?! Had to say it

Now, back to the reviews...

[Single-O-Seven]

One thing I have to say is how nice it is to, so far, see the reviewers avoiding any major spoilers. I'm not sure if any independent reviewers have blown the top off the film but as someone who is avoiding major spoilers while at the same time reading the reviews as they come, I haven't been devestated by anything I've so far read. I feel I can go into the movie and still be wonderfully surprised by what's to come!

You must face the severe wrath of the Daniel Craig fans

[007jamesbond]

here a thought.........the gunbarrel at the end could simply mean the end of 50 years from Dr. No to Skyfall, and the start of 50 years of Bond starts with Bond 24 that restart the gunbarrel at the beginning

[JCRendle]

I'm starting to think that Silva''s

Spoiler

psychical disability is something hidden under his skin.

wouldn't that be a

Spoiler

mental disability

?

You know, that's not a bad idea. I think they should follow through with something like that.

[Shrublands]

ha ha ha

in my opinion
they would never cast an oscar nominated actor like fiennes on the 50th anniversary
just to have him play a minor character
judi dench is on the way out
they want her to step down from MI6
or else bardem probably shoots stabs or detonates her

(or maybe bardem flips a coin to decide if she lives friendo )

tee hee hee

I think that
this style of writing
Is more fun than a bag of monkeys and
a right
barrel of laughs let’s
All start doing it from now

on

[QOS4EVER]

Ha ha ha
I
Think
that to be a
splendid idea

Ah, Dean Moriarties you all are. Bonkers all of ya.

[univex]

Gerard, please, less "enter" button, ok? We all like new members and welcome them with open arms and laughs, but please, for our eyes sake.
An I´ve yet to watch "On the Road". I like the Kerouac book though, good psychological constructs there. Be sure to write a review And remember, no "enter button"! Cheers.

[univex]

do you want to watch it ???

Thanks old chap, but I´ve got the film. Still haven´t found the time to watch it though. But I´ll be sure to. Don´t forget to write that review. It´s a Walter Sales , so it has potential. As a writer myself, and an examiner of the human psyche, many of the themes on it interest me. Good to see you´re keeping a lighter trigger finger on the "enter" button. Welcome again to Cbn, you´ll have a blast here. Cheers.

Isn´t it wonderful that we got this extremely positive reaction to SKYFALL?

Imagine if the reviews had been bad (or worse: mediocre)...

Yeah, and we´ve been there: 2008 - mediocre. I´m so glad I´ve been to RT twice today, jut to see that 100% red logo in there. Good times.

It´s interesting that every single critic seems to love Adele´s song. Hey, I know I do.

Thanks for that BBC article Mark. Good to witness the exposition the good reviews are having.

That Xan Brooks is clearly and idiot. Even what he states is wrong with the film doesn´t merit a 3 star rating. Pompous and cantankerous.

The Times's Kate Muir called it "a great British bulldog of a movie". What is it with this bloody bulldog?! He crops up everywhere! -_-

Mate
Dont you think you are over reacting a bit considering the fact that we haven't even watched the movie!?

[JCRendle]

I'm just taking a wild guess here. But I'm betting you're not going to like Skyfall, and your review will be one of the few negative ones that show up here.

[JCRendle]

Really? Smart or not, I disagree with his opinion on both, I thought You Know My Name was good, and while I wasn't a fan of Another Way to Die, I didn't think it was bad BAD bad!
