If i hear na only small children , old timers and middle aged people with low IQ wey fit like dat kind film

Quite the contrary, one needs a higher IQ than the average to appreciate the new bond movie. It departs from the norm you've come to expect from bond, ie lots of shooting scenes, car chases, extravangant display of gadgets etc, and instead actually made a movie that you actually need to sit down and listen to the dialog to appreciate it. In my opinion, I think the movie was great because it showed bond in a different light. It used to be Bond that took the fight to the villain and not the reverse. Heck, even 006 went rogue, he never brought the fight to Bond. But this dude is crazy, he acutually came personally to take out M, not sending goons to do the job. He planned everything out like a master tactician and he kinda looks like The Joker with Oedipus complex. Then Judi Dench's portrayal of M is the best so far. This is the 1st time an M is actually acting like a real Head of Department and not a figurehead. She not only takes the toughest decisions but she also defended her actions admirably. I think one can liken her to Dumbledore in Harry Potter especially in part 4 when he had to answer a public enquiry. Then come in the Quatermaster, another deviation from the norm. This is kinda a nod @the current trend where younger people are leading the pack in technology. You can see this with his statement of doing damage from bed on his pyjamas but he also admits there are times when a trigger has to be pulled. The other Qs were just a Here-are-the-gadgets-bond-and-bring-them-back-in-one-piece kinda guy and once the gadgets switch hands, that's the end of their roles but this one's role was expanded due to the villain bringing the fight home and in fact, almost everybody had an active role to play and the movie for once didn't center on just one fellow shooting at people, and using gadgets but it actually is a movie that one can get to sit down and watch and appreciate all the major characters and not just the Main protagonist. So, ask yourself this, are you sure you aren't the one with the low IQ for not appreciatingthis movie?

@henryskywalker2003:
Loooool u forgot to add that 007's genre has been changed from action/thriller/adventure into action/fantasy where a person can survive a halo jump from a moving train or how a skilled assassin can become a secretary or how someone can turn on the gas using the internet, or how three mercenaries can take out all security(protecting dignitaries and politicians alike)@ a court house,or how one man can stop ur long term plan with two canisters of fire extinguisher , or perhaps where a man can blow up a tunnel and have a train come through it with his mind(no one can tell me he wired that place to blow and timed it exactly to drop when bond caught up with him) grin. kk lemme play ur game of writing long jargons to look smart now ur key notes: u said skyfall is a movie u need to concentrate and watch, u said it showed bond in a different perspective, u hailed the villain for taking his fight to MI6, then highlighted a young Q having long screen time as well as money penny and M kk now:
1.New perspective on bond: daniel craig was still the same violent, sadistic and arrogant agent he played in casino royale except u want to add his roger moore-ish behavior (laffin @ a guy being mauled by komodo dragons or winking @ mallory during a gun battle, or killing ppl and going "did u drop something?" To kincade)
2.Terrific villain and a movie that needs concentration:
Truly u don't be smart to understand skyfall hell u don't even need to be fully awake to understand this film why? Lemme explain
Hi, I am raoul silva, years ago I bit into a cyanide capsule which destroyed my teeth and cheek bone but conveniently left my tongue and throat intact hell I can even tongue kiss severine with it, I live on an island only accessible by a luxurious yacht I obtained it by lying to the inhabitants that there was a chemical leak so they all took off and never bothered to return or even check if the threat was gone it has no source of food supply but has tons of bad guys and bunch of computers which I use to point and click to create havoc in the world(convenient).my plan to kill M
- steal a hard drive containing the identities of NATO agents embedded in terrorist organizations and release it on youtube(if you are a so called cyber terrorist you don't need a mercenary to do the snatching of info stored on a computer) spelling security breach(so far so good)
- set a trail for bond to follow even if it means shooting @ him 1000 times patrice should be skillful enough to hit him just once in the shoulder
- next I must make sure patrice uses a rare type of bullet linked to only 3 bad guys in the world
- now patrice must carry a poker chip about with him and must be thrown off a window so bond can find this chip
- I now hire a pretty call girl to ask bond ridiculous questions about fear and death and warn bond to escape my courier/guardians
- I make sure bond has sex with this call girl. So I can kill her in his presence aggrevating him to the extent he will kill everyone on the island except me cos bond is a man of restraint even if his lover was just killed in front of him
- then I put a hi jacker on my computer and hope Q snoozes and doesn't check it out(RIDICULOUS)
- then I escape and shoot M
Of course back up plan will include leveling a house with a chopper canyon gun then hopping out of the chopper and yelling nobody touches M but me(what if he shot her by accident)
WHY did he give himself so much stress why not just kidnap and murder M that's a lot easier or just forget the whole betrayal thingy.c'mon I mean there's a crazy plot and there's a stupid plot what does this plot look like?
3. Q: kk Q is some computer wizkid(not a fresh but its kk) now if he was playing that chloe o brian(24) shit I would have commended him but he shows up @ an art exhibit to give bond a stupid handgun and a radio/transponder(perhaps he wanted bond to swallow the thing cause it was so conspicuous compared to his transponder in casino royale and it would have been the first thing silva's men would throw away but sam mendes didn't let em search bond)
Now about Q having longer screen time, I remember Q playing field agent by sneaking bond some equipments once in licensed to kill he had both longer screen time and sort of different character from the regular but that doesn't make licensed to kill the best bond movie ever does it?
4 money penny:
Money penny has also had a longer screen time in movies like die another day where she also played more than a secretary (including playing dead in bonds simulation) but still that doesn't make die another day the best bond movie does it?
5.M: she has been tackled before by the foreign minister(remember QOS?),I remember the world is not enough she didn't act like a figure head there, it was about her afterall she was the next target after her friend was murdered and the way they went about it was even more realistic and smarter than mr. Silva's master plan it included getting close to M under the guise of king's daughter and luring bond out to kill him and even taking M captive. see? the villains also took their fight to M, M had longer screen time and played another capacity order than being a "figure head" like you said. But still that doesn't make the world is not enough a terrific bond movie does it?
It's so hilarious you ask people why they hate casino royale and they have nothing, you ask them why they hate QOS and they go casino royale was just better but ask them about skyfall and they go unrealistic plot, boring,fake and so on.but ask them why they like skyfall and before they even say return of money penny and Q, death of M or that bond went to his old home(of course this is inaccurate as vesper lynd in casino royale made it clear to us that bond didn't come from money and attended oxford university at someone's charity cause he was an orphan but apparently in skyfall bond is a rich kid with a mansion which he blows up in scotland)you already know that's where they would go. What even baffles me more is that your friends saw lame yans like these and supported it(I just hope yall are pretending)SO I hereby change your tag from low IQ middle aged people to slow and shallow minded middle aged people and I hope I don't ever make the mistake of voting one of yall skyfall fans for president some day grin

Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by friendlyadvice: 7:03pm On Apr 22, 2013
Well I think skyfall was an okay movie not as good as the other two but it is a fair 4/10 kind of movie its just okay. However I came accross this link on twitter about a guy who claims this was actually the original plot for skyfall which was going to be called "carte blanch" I read it and I'm thinking this would have made a better skyfall don't you think?:PS any insults to be hurled at me should be directed at at 33117 thank usmiley




In Istanbul, MI6 agents James Bond and ronson chase a mercenary, Patrice who is possession of a stolen MI6 incendiary explosive. There is a brief but deliberate interruption of MI6 satellite which was playing spectator to both bond and ronson.ronson inadvertently shoots Bond, allowing Patrice to escape. Ronson follows the train which patrice and bond board to the train station where patrice detonates taking out the entire train station killing ronson and putting the brits and turkish military at a war of trust issues as the turkish security alliance think the missing weapon and its detonation is as a result of complacency on the part of MI6
In the aftermath of the operation, M, the head of MI6,in a public hearing is demoted by the prime minister ordering for a fresh transition and appointing Gareth Mallory, the Intelligence and Security Committee Chairman. On her return from the meeting, MI6's servers are breached and M receives a taunting message via computer moments which sets off a defcon 4 self destruction order. Causing the offices to explode, killing a number of employees. MI6 relocates to its emergency offices underground. A boy is seen running across a large field terrified by a person running after him and he crashes into a mine where he is choking on dried broken cement bond awakes from this nightmare in a hospital at the english embassy at istanbul. bond is mysteriously traumatized and when he fails a series of physical and psychological examinations bond tenders a resignation mail to london M is however considering to grant the request but mallory briefs M that the terrorist attack in istanbul was a distraction for an anonymous network to hack into MI6 servers and download a list of all the MI6 high ranking agents including james bond and hinted to the fact that if bond is captured and tortured that the information bond would let them part with will be detrimental to MI6 so instead bond is sent to a forest house in london where he is introduced to Q and beautiful but dangerous and extremely clever severine(008) who are working on tracing the mysterious signals that had hacked into MI6 servers in the mean time bonds restlessness is soothed by severine. Who provoked him into local casino fights and fast car chases defensively saying it was her own physical evaluation and that bond passed(amusingly)the signals bounces around and takes them to an apartment at york london ,bond is pulled out of the operation when he is asked to accompany M to an emergency security meeting with section chief of station H this bond reluctantly the meeting is scheduled quite unannounced and so M is rushed on some psychological composure and contents of the meeting. Via phone by eve from mallories office bond is being taunted with visions of the child from earlier experiencing a rather abusive father and further abusive treatment at an orphanage, bonds dream is however terminated by eve from mallorys office who is to evaluate and restructure bond via phone bond compels eve to stay longer on the phone saying"work is over now let's chat" and eve cooperated in having a rather amusingly flirtatious conversation with bond till bond sleeps again. In york,008 and several MI5 tactics agent infiltrate the house at york they exchange fire and killed its residents but could only rescue a laptop when the place is demolished by an automated wrecking ball
Q runs an analysis on the laptop and traces a conversation with someone at hong kong Q fears the worst and deploys a convoy to escort M to a secure location and bond was to walk with Q to track the signals. Soon bond is linked to an assassin who is supposed to kill a malaysian ambassador.bond violently confronts and kills the assassin but is drugged by an accomplice and returned to his hotel room at the same time M's convoy is attacked by a US drone and M is abducted and news about M's abduction is spread all over the media indicating a breach in MI6 security and an utter disgrace to british security history.bond is approached in his hotel room by a mysterious man who introduces himself as raoul silva and invites bond to his island off the coast of Macau which had been donated to his brotherhood by an unnamed government as payment for causing dysfunction to a russian military satellite.silva unveils himself to M on the same island revealing that he was a former MI6 officer who had previously worked under M, Silva has turned to terrorism for hire and was now developing cyber weapons for sale, and personally orchestrating the attacks on MI6. Silva tortures M and when bond is brought into the room silva tests bonds loyalty by handing him a gun and asking him to shoot M bond does so however the gun is not loaded and silva in good faith gives bond a hard drive containing all the information he had swiped from the MI6 servers , bond however secretly sends a distress signal to MI6 and is confronted by silva's men whom he kills secretly before help arrived however silvas brotherhood men including their intelligent techno terrorists which silva jokingly referred to as diamonds in the rough, abandon the island along with all their computers and equipment however silva is left behind and captured by british soldiers. Bond returns a hero but M however succumbs to her torture wounds and dies. When Q attempts to access silva's computer to find the remainder of his brotherhood, silva's computer hi jacks MI6 automated devices control and opens all the security doors bond and other agents run to block silva from escaping from his cell of course silva was not very interested in escaping and mallory orders bond to talk to silva since they sort of had a connection and that maybe they could be lucky enough to locate the members of his cell. Bond and silva chat at length and very soon silva influences bond to become quite paranoid of MI6 stating that he was sold to the chinese military by M because she wanted to save her political career however bond's paranoia heightens when mallory disconnects silvas cell microphone and just as bond is about to confront mallory, mallory receives a message saying that a british battleship encoder replica was in their possession and they threatened to tamper with this encoder and mislead the ship to enemy quarters unless mallory releases silva.mallory is given an hour ultimatum to respond to their request. At first Q traces the message to a barn in scotland then bond,severine and several MI5 tactical. Team are deployed to this location they engage a few cell members but find and apprehend only one of the techno terrorists distorted that the threat was still valid, mallory instructs a dispatch unit to deliver silva to his brotherhood, bond is not happy with this and he takes advantage of the less security upon the brotherhood instruction and with help from Q disrupting mallory a bit bond holds silvas man hostage asking him to lead bond to the encoder while silva is returned to his cell but bond's plan is foiled when silva kills the MI6 driver in charge and tries to kill the brotherhood person at the drop off. The brotherhood man and bond drive off with silva on their tail bond learns that the brotherhood had been disappointed with how silva had put their men at risk by his vendetta on MI6 and the exchange was so they could kill silva and tie that lose end silva kills the brotherhood escort and moves to kill bond but bond repels his attack and kills him instead.mallory is furious with bond and has him locked up for silva's death and when the threat of the encoder was over, they moved forward to interrogate the apprehended techno terrorist that identified the silva's brotherhood as SMERSH he released information of how the computer analysts on the island are deployed around and told them exactly where to find them including patrice who currently was recruiting and training rebel forces in angola he however disclosed SMERSH's latest operation to assist angolan corrupt government in selling their oil rights by dismantling angolan oil pipes and blaming it on the rebels. Angola was enemy territory definitely so mallory instructed 008 to take part in a secret ploy to assassinate patrice in angola severine tried to bargain to bring bond in but mallory paid no attention to her saying 0012 would be briefed by eve and would join her in angola. Bond hears about M will and received an british bulldog figurine from M,bond also gets a bit sentimental about her death when he sees the accolade and praise M had bestowed on him in an obituary draft when they feared bond would die in istanbul, severine and bond negotiate with some local but tactical angolan assents to infiltrate a hotel where patrice was accommodated and protected courtesy of the angolan government so much as to evacuate the premise of its residents bond and his team infiltrate the hotel and engage in a gun battle with the security forces severine is injured and bond's men and killed but bond uses demolition tactics to take out patrices security and when he is confronted by patrice he manages to throw him in a lake killing him.severine is inadvertently taken to a hospital where she passes out into a coma bond is withdrawn by british service agents painfully abandoning severine to the angolan security agents.
Due to financial constraints and pressure from the parliamentary mallory is forced to shut down the 00 section deploying the field agents to MI5 and SIS quarters as damage control bond is offered a job to train SIS field agents but the conflict between mallory and causes bond to decline. Bond finishes his shrink session with eve who introduces herself as eve"voice"money penny, she encourages bond to go back in time and confront his past and accept it to find peace and solace.bond is seen in an aston martin DB5 driving deep into the heart of scotland into a wide expanse of land called "skyfall" bond's late parents estate he walks through the house while recalling harsh memories about his parents conflict and the comfort he found in his fathers games keeper kincade, indicating that the boy from his dreams was bond as a child and skyfall reminds him of his greatest fear of walking in his fathers shadow and becoming like his father someday a memory which shape ned his entire life causes his disinterest in family, leadership and instead self sacrifice and a blunt sense of discipline and order.bond is seen at a grave yard with three tombs one reads adam bond(father), carla bond(mother),brian kincade(gameskeeper) and next to it bond places M's bulldog figurine he opens a bottle of vodka where he toasts out "cheers

You can be quite silly you know.
During Mallory's conversation with M. Have a listen at it again.
Mallory said "...three months ago you lost a disk containing information about........."

So please next time always listen before spewing lies. You are so full of yourself.

I bet you would find another excuse this time around.

@dartmaul. Guy wats ur problem that's no way to talk to a lady its just a forum and she was just teasing u there was need flaring up and going all vulgar on her oya me self I hate skyfall and I think u're very stoopid for liking it, are u goin to beat me up now jeez. And to top it up ur information is even wrong mallory was referring to 3months prior to bonds accident it was extracted before ronson recovered it and transited with it to istanbul and stored it on his computer hard drive he was not even an MI6 agent he was just a contact which country calls for a hearing three months after an incident use ur head.I bet u feel fooolish u shd, nigerians #SMH

Skyfall is d best bond movie ever and among the top 5 movies of 2012. The problem naija fans have is dat d advent of nollywood has warped their ways of judging movies.
Rarely do u see critics and fans falling for a movie. 99% of critics loved it and fans loved it cos they contributed to it makin over a billion dollars in d box office. Only 15movies have made over a billion dollars.
Another problem was havin to wean these naija critics off the cartoons brosnan was dishing out and make them appreciate a real movie. All these nairaland critics wanted to see was the personification of inspector gadget and either ignored or lacked the capacity to appreciate things like the beautiful malay scenery, the realistic fight scenes, a villain to remember, a simplistic plot we coud relate to. Instead dumbheads wanted inspector gadget battling a bad guy who wants to take over the world lol!

33117 did say yall have low IQs but I don't want to believe that I want to relate with you skyfall is not a good movie don't deceive urself infact it is a terrible movie
Why?
Shallow storyline:M is targeted by a former MI6 agent whom she betrayed years ago but is being protected ironically by another agent she betrayed in istanbul that's it?casino royale has bond and M investigating how a terrorist organization is being funded and he is to bankrupt a terrorism financier in order to gain his cooperation in taking down these terrorist organization in exchange for protection from his clients,Quantum of solace bond continues his investigation on that same terrorist organization when his lead from casino royale is killed and his new target happens to be the boyfriend of bonds late lover od which bond has to track down this boyfriend with the help of the terrorist organizations leader who has a diabolical plan of helping an exiled bolivian soldier back into power but at the same time has the intention of controlling bolivia's water supply, of course bond confuses the viewers when we don't know if he has gone rogue if he is still on MI6s side or if he is simply out for revenge,now honestly tell me, does skyfalls story measure up to any of these two.
Realistic fight scenes:bond chases a guy on a roof top with a motorcycle are serious? A lizard eats a guy in a movie shot in 2012? Seriously?a guy blows a tunnel like 60ft above him and has a train crash thru pls how are these scenes realistic? U can't compare them with the stairwell fight scene between bond and steve obano(casino royale), or the bone crunching hand to hand combat between bond and slater(quantum of solace)
Box office:casino royale made 500million +
Quantum of solace upon the "dislikes" made 600million+ skyfall could only do better it had a stellar cast two blockbusting predecessors and all the hype in the galaxy so u can't judge the movie by box office returns besides rotten tomatoes gave it a thumbs down even one of EON productions writers called it "distasteful" I mean its no longer news that real bond fans are very disappointed with skyfall
Cartoons: why do u people keep going pierce brosnan cartoons all the time have u actually watched roger moore's james bond movies? I don't even need to speak any further besides skyfall is even cartoonish a villain who wants to be captured then escape,a hero with a tormented past with dead parents with healing abilities to survive gun shots or free falls or to even leave bullets in his body and still take shots with scorpions on his hand,I mean the bond practically killed M and broke protocol but he wasn't arrested instead he was reinstated sounds like a spiderman or batman comic to me so give it some thought and quit the brosnan cartoon excuse if u're talking realistic we are talking about casino royale,tomorrow never dies, licensed to kill, live and let die and quantum of solace(hell it was even based on a true story)
Villain: the villain is a sample of the cyberhacker from diehard 4, joker from batman,renard from the world is not enough and to me that is one villain I would forget in a hurry he comes straight out of a comic book and hopped around like a character from teletubbies nothing you can relate with at all.
I don't expect the brits to hate skyfall afterall bond is an english movie but we are nigerians we speak the truth despite the consequence don't worry you won't look stoopid if u say the truth don't be dem don't be a low IQ movie viewer.*sigh skyfall 0/10 Fail

Hmmm skyfall had
1. A motorcycle rooftop chase scene plus a hand to hand combat atop of a speeding train over a river
2m a bond with superhuman strenght to survive a shot from a high powered rifle that should have severed bond in half
3. An assassin who uses a bullet so rare it is used by only 3 people in the world
4. A komodo dragon ate a man while james bond smiled
5. A washed up bond attacking and killing 4 armed men even though he was unarmed
6. A villain who wants to be captured so he can escape for no reason but just fun fun fun
7.A computer remotely hacking a military bunker
8.A man killing about a 100 unit commandoes with crude trap a hunting rifle two old-timers and two gas cylinders
9. Then a criminal who put the life of a high ranking military officer and went beyond protocol but at the end was not court marshaled or even fired instead he was reinstated
These are cartoon attributes but guess what? "nigerians" still didn't like skyfall. So then why do we hate skyfall?
- becos I cudnt help sleeping through out the movie cos it was boring
- I couldn't help cringing at how unrealistic and shallow the story was
- I couldn't stop raising my eyebrow at how fake the movie was and how much plot holes the movie had
-i couldn't stop rolling my eyes at how the producers were desperately stealing scenes from other successful movies( no originality whatsoever)
So bros we aren't stoopid we have genuine reasons for not liking this movie on the contrary, its even you people who don't have a genuine reason for liking skyfall apart from the fact that it made "$1bn" please I'm gettin sick of hearing that come up with something fresh

Hi nairalanders I just saw skyfall don't bury me yet I was saving it till I got a work free day and my home theatre.I can't belive you ppl are even arguing abt the movie being good or not, skyfall is not a good movie it is not even an okay movie it is a terrible movie by all standards the movie explored no new depth so M is a biitch who betrays her agents "big deal", moneypenny is a clumsy shot and a lady who doesn't knw what she wants "big deal" Q is an iidiot who cud not only trace the hacker that blew up MI6 but he also aided the villain in escaping"big deal" and bond is an orphan "big deal", all the director did was to twist the plot anyway he cud just so it wud follow the script thereby causing confusion and leaving every single scene in the movie with an exclamation mark and a question mark the dialogue was dry and NOT intelligent the emotions looked force all the action. Scenes were either weak or unrealistic. Every bond actor is remembered for something, sean connory was the bond for the cold war, roger moore was the comic bond, george lazenby was the bond that got married, timothy dalton was the boring bond, pierce brosnan was the sexy bond, daniel craig would have been the badass bond but nooooo sam mendes had to do the lazy adaptations and end daniel craigs unique run as well as demolish.the reboot and the new direction it was going.thumbs down skyfall, thumbs down

@E.apps honey just leave nigerians alone they are myopic by nature.its so amusing u see them slamming nollywood movies for being lame now skyfall arrives as the lamest movie of 2012 and it is. The best movie ever? What? Just becos a white man said so?it is also ironical cos they always go pierce brosnan's bond was so cartoonish now the real cartoon shows up I mean the last time I saw a living man with no teeth and a damaged cheekbone was in a tom and jerry flick but nigerians say its good that it is the best bond ever lol someone even went as far as saying the most realistic bond film ever I mean its ppl like yall that make me ashamed to be a #nigerian
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by Eapps(f): 9:57am On Jul 02, 2013
Lol you are so right nigerians can be quite myopic sometimes.anytin the white man says goes with them no mind of their own whatsoever I remember when they released die another day, there was nobody that didn't hail that movie if u hadn't watched then, you were a learner. But as soon as the white man criticized its heavy dependence on CGI. Automatically it became the worst bond film to nigerians. Its so irritating.jeez the bad guy actually walked into a hearing and tried to assassinate M how stoopid is that? How did he even knw that she wud be called to a tribunal if he released the agents names?here is a tip for bond 25 get either james cameron,micheal mann or even martin campbell to direct, kick neil purvis and robert wade out of the script department, cut it out with the bond depression routine it has been exploited too many times already,don't ever try that batman joker shiit on any bond script u were only lucky this time and nigerians have a mind of your own yes skyfall is the commercially successful,the cinematography was good I mean it was designed for imax studios, it had the highest number of accolades especially for its score which it didn't deserve. But that doesn't make the movie the best or even an interesting movie where was its thrills, where was its storyline? Lol someone even said it is better than quantum of solace please where is that person let my pastor pray for him. #nigerians *SMH*

Still on Skyfall?
Being the best ever?, dont know about that but that's the price you pay when you live in the UK and their hypes.

I really enjoyed the movie....I think probably it is the best Bond movie ever made. The acting was amazing, the story line intriguing.

Skyfall critics should jus b patient. Hopefully in d near future, u'l get ur wish of a bond movie with a megalomaniac bad guy plotting to take over the world possibly with a nuclear weapons angle and bond without takin a hit saves d day wit a gadget he borrowed from inspector gadget. Lol
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by 33117(f): 8:37pm On Jul 05, 2013
@darthmaul grin lol my myopic nairaland bf don't worry honey meaning you have a low iq and suffer from psycho myopia doesn't mean u'll be like dat forever aww!*hug* and what's ur deal with nollywood did u try to get in and got rejected? Lol take am easy its only a friendly match and oh by the way skyfall is still the worst bond ever and for those who think its a brilliant movie, well yall shd get ur heads examined
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by Eapps(f): 9:25pm On Jul 05, 2013
Darthmaul: Still on Skyfall?
Being the best ever?, dont know about that but that's the price you pay when you live in the UK and their hypes. But come on now, it wasnt a bad movie. what did you expect when they are celebrating is it 50 years or so?
I guess you remenber when casino royale was released people criticised it massively but the movie proved most wrong.
About the scene where M was attacked at the hearing, that isnt unusual. Remenber The Living Daylights, The world is not enough (a bomb beat the MI6 security).
@33117
cool off on the nigerian stuff, no generaling, you dont have to get personal on a movie. Dont let the white folks mess with your head ooo. I can bet you dont watch nigerian made movies. You can sit there and criticise all you can.

Dude are you comparing the lame courthouse shootout scene from skysuck to the attacks carried out in the living daylights and the world is not enough
The attack in the living daylight was obviously a premedidated attack carried out by a sector of the russian military which is quite as clinical and professional as MI6.in The world is not enough the money was immersed in syntex and if you noticed when mr king went to count the money, they were actually examining the money so they wud have discovered that it was boobitrapped see? those scenarios are very realistic but who walks into a court house surrounded by armed security guards with nothing but a handgun and start shooting expecting to take out his target that is very silly abeg they shouldn't try that shiit again
