If you were to take any one frame of that trailer, put it under glass and on a gallery wall, it would not look out of place. I've rarely seen a better looking movie, and the people behind the flat, TV like blockbusters that litter today's cinema landscape just found a new reason to wake up in the morning and hate themselves. Deakins has shot what will have to go down as one of the most gorgeous motion pictures of all time, right up there with Days of Heaven and 2001: A Space Odyssey. When stacked against Skyfall, the rest of this year's studio slate looks as if it should premier this fall on the CW, rather than a movie theater with aisles and ushers. This will be the best Bond movie we've ever gotten. Craig is at the top of his game. The look on his face when the psychologist asks him about Skyfall is shattering. You want to find out what could possibly get that reaction from a cold bastard like Bond. It pulls you right in. The only problem I had wasn't with the film it was with the trailer cutting to the beat, and then using footage of Craig firing his pistol in sync with the taiko drums on the soundtrack. It was a bit much, sort of gilding the lilly in an unneeded way. Otherwise this looks like the most stylish, effortlessly cool flick on the film horizon. It's clean, crisp and deadly. It looks like a blast, and I bet it'll open huge.

It really wasn't. It was flawed for sure but its nowhere near the worst Bond.

Personally I'd go for View To A Kill or Die Another Die for worst Bond, both daft and unneeded.

I'll defend A View to a Kill anyday: honestly one of my favourite Bonds.

The worst would have to be either Die Another Day or For Your Eyes Only.

Skyfall, despite the stupid title, looks brilliant. Yes Craig will pout like there's no tomorrow, Yes it will be a bit too serious but on the basis of the cast and director alone: this has to be great...right?

FYEO brought 007 back to earth and set the tone that would be followed by dalton and craig.

DAD loses its way in iceland but rallies for the big cargo plane finish. great sword fight too.

its was TMWTGG and MR that let the side down.

but then there's never been a truely dire bond film.

CR '67 doesn't count.

What's wrong with "Skyfall"? Is it any more 'stupid' than Octopussy/Moonraker/Goldfinger/Thunderball/Goldeneye?

'the story of you and i, moneypenny-close but no cigar'

TMWTGG is one of the very best and dear old Moonraker is fun.

The worst has to be Quantum of Solace, Die Another Day, followed by OHMMS and then The Living Daylights. But I agree I love them all.

quote:

ORIGINAL: Private Hudson

Yes OHMSS is pretty bad due to Lazenby being a diddy as we say here in Scotland. It would have been so much better with Connery in it, but again so different.

But hey, I still love all the Bond movies. I don't think any of them are rubbish, just on a scale I'd put the ones I said at the bottom. I do like Living Daylights, but it just feels like it doesn't quite fulfil its promise I think it has possibly the best pre-title sequence of any 007 (with the exception of The Spy Who Loved Me).
