You know what you people are? You guys are foooools
Fooooools for not being tasteful enough to appreciate this movie
Fooooools for picking such a failure as quantum of solace over skyfall
Fooooools for actually paying attention to an even bigger foooool like 33117 that's right I've read her posts on this topic right from the start, it is so pointless and pretentious and it makes it obvious just how desperately she clamors for attention and when a core bond fan stands against her you fooooools all gang up to scare them off well it is not working for me I am ready to defend this movie in any day and any setting what is "I belong" na? Mtchew rubbish!

Let's keep on dumping on skyfall if we continue maybe they may give us a refund as christmas gift*fingers crossed*
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by kobosmart(m): 8:11am On Dec 13, 2013
lanreajirobaju: When I think about quantum of solace I think art
- boat chase
-dog-fight
-tosca concert
-tuxedo claded assassins/bodyguards
-bond confessing his love for a bond girl openly to total strangers and after that dropping the last memory he had of her in the snow afterwards like one of those italian gangsters
-daniel craig almost as good as denzel
Haba! Respect na I don't even see that as a bond movie I see it as a movie about james bond that's well it stands out who gives a hoot about formula?
You can't compare that with skyfall na skyfall is like a mixture of abduction and tinker,taylor,soldier,spy.




Well with that said, my own question why is it that in the whole movie M isn't given the best of protection?
-when silva first attacked MI6 , she works home into her apartment with not a single bodyguard she was so vulnerable a drunk like bond cud break into her house
-her computer wasn't protected against malware becos hw was silva still able to send her another message? What if he blew up her house at that point?
-then when they found out that silva was heading over to the court room to kill her, they didn't even work on reinforcement or extra security Q just sat on his hands while bond chased after silva's SUV like a child
-then the ultimate bond,Q and mallory all voted on letting a failure like bond ALONE to isolate M and use her as bait in order to "protect her"
Why didn't anyone give a shiiit about M did they want her dead for some reason?


Simple M was not sexy! Think about it the script didn't give a shiiit about everyone who was not sexy
1.M: everyone wanted her dead cause she was short wrinkled had her neck folding in a really disgusting way and she kept nagging bond in istanbul who wouldn't want her dead
2. Severine: prostitute, who made up like heath ledgers joker and wore really ugly clothes yep they just had to killer even the scotch glass on her head was way more sexy than she was at least that's what bond said
3.Silva: largest head I've ever seen on a human being, his hair was bleached blonde and his bulging horse teeth and sharp eye sockets yuk! Kill him kill him now
4.Mallory: old assss man with horrible hair line and sharp forehead. With his horribly cut-out suit that kept showing us his bulging stomach got shot in the shoulder I hope the infection from the wound kills him though
5.Q: skinny motherf@#ker with gigantic ears and disgustingly pale skin and what about that silly haircut, a hippie working for the government? Nice try mr.mendes anyway he was an iidiiot all thru I hope silva left him an incendiary grenade in his laptop or something
6. Moneypenny: bulging eye balls, anorexic, stoopid hair style and really wierd accent anyway I guess the job of the BLACK secretary in a james bond movie kinda suits ur ugly asssss its kinda offensive but u knw naomi harris she will jump at any acting opportunity
just so we wouldn't forget her

Whatever happened to these bond movies? The characters were always so cute
Anyway my question

Did anyone notice that the NATO list was never recovered? Which means that NATO was still in trouble. Why would they dump such an important plot points

Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by mrmagoo(m): 12:05pm On Dec 13, 2013
You know? I just saw this movie again yesterday with a frnd of mine who isn't a bond fan and is barely familiar with the bond traditions and still I found nothing wrong with this movie it entertained me all thru even my frnd found it entertaining as well he said it was the first bond movie he actually enjoyed you skyfall haters have issues I swear

How you go dey ask that kind question don't you know he is james "motherfucking" bond if mallory told him hey james you fucckked up james bond might just start crying again so mallory just felt sorry for him and decided instead to send him to buy rice grin
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by mrmagoo(m): 1:04pm On Dec 13, 2013
@skyfallhaters well to answer that question, mallory and bond finally connected as they both agreed on dragging silva out of the city was the best idea and bond earned his trust when he single handedly took down silva and his mini-army not to mention mallory was once a military officer whose ideologies matched that of bonds. M is an adult cudnt anyone see that she also agreed to the plan it was the best they could do.

Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by forreelinc(m): 1:33pm On Dec 13, 2013
@magoo undecided and the fact that:
1. MI6's director was abducted and taken off MI6 radar just after a hearing about englands national security
2. Bond failed to retrieve the list that got them in the mess to begin with
3.The foreign minister was attacked by an.ex00 agent in a hearing where shutting down the 00 section was still under consideration
4.Bond deliberately chose to not involve MI6 in his skyfall runs which points to reckless disregard
5.Bond was also guilty of insubordination
6. M DIED does that look like bond succeeded
Anyway all that doesn't come to mind with fans like you the bond franchise is doomed
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by mrmagoo(m): 1:41pm On Dec 13, 2013
@forreelinc my dear frnd didn't your father teach you. That micro-dissection doesn't make you a good. Movie viewer but just makes you a common hater
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by forreelinc(m): 10:51pm On Dec 13, 2013
Micro-dissection? Lol yoji don teach una english hmmmmn let me make this clear there are the facts that make skyfall suck which are:
1. Lack of creativity: you have probably heard it a billion times. But however skyfall is a combination of batman,die hard 4,TWINE,goldfinger, Never say Never again and so on it stole its storyline,plot points,characters,action scenes blank and simple the movie was uncreative
2. BORING: the movie had no intrigue, we know silva wants M dead we know he will break out of jail what else? No spying, no intelligent investigations like stepping on a cat's tail so it can dive at his owner to determine the real criminal from the clone(diamonds are forever) this was just a bloody chase movie for a moment I thot I was watching one of those. Willem dafoe cyber terrorist chase movies from the 90s only more shitty
3.Unrealistic: 1 man can't steal a complete list of NATO agents,1 man cannot bring MI6 down to its knees so easily, james bond and monepenny. Won't be sent to retrieve such a sensitive material that they carelessly lost initially etc

Why I hate skyfall.
1.It threw away all the hard work casino royale and quantum of solace laid down for the new generation bonds
To return to the horrible days of moonraker. And octopussy
2.It was hard to follow cos they kept being such lazy writers and abandoning important plot points. At first it looks like MI6 betrays bond(abandon), then it loox like bond is having a hard time getting fit for duty(abandon), then it loox like M is under fire for losing the list(abandon), finally its silva wanting to embarrass M no I mean kill M no I mean to commit suicide and die with M
3.Daniel craig. Was at his worst in this movie he looked like a mexican prison toilet brush and his acting was so fuccked and un-inspiring almost like the negative comments were getting to him
4. It was fake and silly: the whole istanbul shooting thing no matter how you try to explain it still doesn't work, bond getting reinstated instead of arrested at the end of the movie is also fake, MI6 not even providing M with at least one bodyguard is fake
I can go on forever baby

Then micro-dissecting would be:
1.The ward drobe sucked: bond was wearing a 3 piece suit under hot sun in istanbul while playing agent, moneypenny's. Peddal pushers were shitty as well then there was bond. Wearing a tuxedo to a gambling joint that's like wearing lace to NYSC camp, mallory's suits were awful tight and the trousers were awful short, then there is silva with his horrible cream suit just to fit into the stereotypical spanish lad and his. Trench coat at the climax of the movie to signify hey! He is the bad guy
2. Bond didn't look his part: he was supposed to play an aging MI6 agent who is coming to terms with being an orphan as well as. Surrogate son to M....... Long story short I just saw the normal. James bond the kills men bangs women and drinks lots of liquor. It was sam mendes that told us what was really going on
3.There was never really a story to begin with: if the list was really important to M. She wouldn't send an aging james bond and adolescent moneypenny to drag it out of an assassins hands.instead of having aerial surveillance and possible retrieval and MI6 won't give up such a valuable agent like silva to the chinese to begin with the chinese won't even ask M to give him up if they knew who hacked them they would simply just snatch him. See no grounds for the silva having no teeth and bond's bullet holes and waterlogging no story
4.Then there is the part of MI6 moving underground after a cyber-attack instead of upgrading their operating systems
Its a cyber-attack I thot they were too old to be dumb
5. Bond was struggling to be relevant in this movie: this was the first time I ever found bond to be quite useless to the plot , he was always struggling to be relevant like traveling to china when Q cud have easily traced silva's signals to his island or chasing silva into the subway where as the police could easily pickup a guy in prison uniform or when bond played shooter at the courthouse when the security guards on duty could have taken silva out there really was no part for bond in this movie
6.Poorly written character development: bond being a rich orphan in scotland didn't amaze us but had us asking questions, silva turning to cyber terrorism becos of M's betrayal also boring and poorly suggested, moneypenny demoting herself made no sense and was never explained, severine's importance to the plot was also poorly written
7.Desperate: I understand there were some objections to QOS, but they were in the minority and they only needed to get accosted to the gritty realism style of shooting a bond flick , sam mendes didn't have to do a 360 back to the silly bond of yester-years jeez at first when adele bored us to death with her "ballard" I was abit puzzled when bond got to the casino OMG it was like their apology for casino/solace every bond tradition didn't go un-performed. He wore the *TUXEDO*, he ordered the *MARTINI*, he did the introduction *BOND JAMES BOND*,he smoozed the *BOND GIRL* he fought the hefty *HENCH MAN* and the hench man got eaten by an *EXOTIC ANIMAL* even tho none of that made any sense to the plot I cud practically see sam mendes feeling so proud of himself *LOSER*
8.Bond's wasted stunts: three times bond does some insanely dangerous stunt to get closer to his target and when he does get close he shuts down and does nothing
First it was when bond tore tore the back of a train and hoPped in only for him to get to patrice and start forcing the drive off of patrice's neck before moneypenny put bond out of the embarrassing scene
Secondly was when he caught the under of an elevator to stalk patrice only for him to just stand by and watch patrice take out his target, take a shiit , eat dinner, bang his wife ,take a shower and probably go to sleep before bond cud do anything
Then lastly was when bond chased after a subway train and launched himself at it in yet another dangerous stunt only for him to catch his breath once he sees silva wat wud it have taken bond to pull out his gun and halt silva? Afterall silva was unarmed and silva had seen bond already.

So u see my frnd whether its by facts, personal opinion or micro-bissecting,trissecting or dissecting this movie still sucks doesn't matter if you like it or roger ebert or obama or even the pope likes it still sucks
Just like everyone likes poooorrrrrnn but its still a bad thing abi?
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by mrmagoo(m): 1:52pm On Dec 14, 2013
@forreelinc hmmm dr.forreelinc creator of hollywood all these ones you dey talk na story it is a bond movie and I like it. If you want realism then take your asssss to your DSTV decoder and put channel 406
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by forreelinc(m): 2:17pm On Dec 14, 2013
@magoo are you a 5 year old or are you just lame? Its just a james bond movie?

I don't even need to call casino royale and quantum of solace,
- live and let die
-licensed to kill
-for your eyes only
-tomorrow never dies
-the living daylights
-on her majestys secret service
-you only live twice
-from russia with love
These were also bond movies I bet you also enjoyed and they were realistic.
Then there were unrealistic james bond movies which were still enjoyable
-the spy who loved me
-dr.no
-die another day
- the world is not enough
-diamonds are forever

But skyfall was unrealistic and still it was not enjoyable. I don't just watch out for the realism of the plot,@ least even though it is unrealistic let it make sense. If you enjoyed it then you are dumb but I won't stop you from liking it though

Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by forreelinc(m): 2:28pm On Dec 14, 2013
@mr.magoo nah! Already tried that ,it didn't work, dumping on it however seems to be a better option
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by leverage(m): 11:34pm On Dec 18, 2013
Hey guys gotta question, could someone actually explain the shiit that went down between james bond, the french lady and that creepy island? Cos she seemed happy to go to her death and felt proud of her boss when she mentioned the silly way he obtained the island, but was worried about dragging bond in with her and the bad guys all of a sudden multiplied while the boat was still on transit and how slick was james bond to begin with that they didn't notice him get into that tiny-asss yacht.

Hey guys, I am giving my self a treat,I am watching skyfall again and I'm laffing my head-off that movie is so fuccked can you imagine when bond wanted to test the stoopid gun he never got to use, he had his gloves on how did the gun work? Wasn't it a palm recognition device

Still wondering how that assassin in shanghai got to his floor without pushing the floor button on the elevator.sam mendes? Are u sure ur 5 year-old kid wasn't responsible for directing this movie
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by 33117(f): 8:49pm On Dec 26, 2013
What of when bond tore the back of a train and hopped into the train like something from olympus, did you notice everyone on the train were so casual like that happens often
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by Nobody: 12:47am On Aug 09, 2014
Wow I did derail from this as I tought it was a lost course BUT I was wrong..so that's done and dusted..by the power vested in me for making this topic I hereby pronounce all those in favour 33117 and Co the winners of this debate *smiles* thank you folks.
