Apparently the hype machine achieved its objective in making Skyfall successful commercially. Still that does nothing to correct the impression the movie had on me; a waste of my time.

Lol advert for skyfall:
If you hate quantum of solace, wait till you see skyfall, bond is back and when I say bond I mean the childish, obnoxious bond from your childhood complete with his childish sense of humor,the stoopid gadget that he coincidentally needs eventually,his car that shoots bullets , his killing a billion ppl without without taking a hit or breaking a sweat,the one liners that can get any gal in da world to jump into bed with him, the clumsy secretary moneypenny who is now licensed to kill,the same grumpy Q. Judi dench is a rather old lady and yall shd be tired by now so we decided to put a new M who is young enough to be daniel craig's younger brother.with avengers and spiderman making james bond look like a wimp we decided hey, its time to give bond superhuman strength to survive water logging,two gunshots, a train crashing in a room,or a house crashing on him and surviving an ice glacier water fight.(He shd be called superbond or bond man).we wanted to do something new with skyfall's villain so instead of making bond go after bolivian dictators or ugandan freedom fighters, we decided to borrow joker from batman and we named him silva warning I think this dude will be gay. We ran into financial problems in the past so we decided to share a character into a bond girl and moneypenny,we all don't really know much abt bond's background story so batman was once again kind enough to lend us bruce wayne's sobb story and even gave us alfred(how sweet of them) I know you bond fans must be tired of villains who want to cause war or want to hold governments to ransome so we have decided to charter a course that we don't know anything about which cyber terrorism(yay!)Skyfall you are guaranteed to do three things , sleep,vex and ask for your money back

Bless me father for I have sinned I contributed to the 1bn that skyfall made. It feels like I just sponsored terrorism

@kobosmart loooool you didn't finance terrorism na u were just loyal its a good thing it shows that you remain a bond fan whether the movie is as horrible as skyfall or as good as QOS. Its loyalty that brought the franchise this far and will keep it going. I think skyfall was the way it was cos of the bond golden jubilee and so was trying to homage older bond movies for nostalgia sake besides with fans now trashing the movie and reviewers reducing their ratings, bond producers will be more careful with what they bring out in bond 24

@kobosmart you actually hate quantum of solace? That's wierd quantum of solace is the best bond movie I have watched so far , infact let's even compare skysuck to quantum of solace

Movie title:
Quantum of solace is a better title cos it describes what bond went through just to get over the death of vesper lynd and the name also relating to the villains secret cell was just brilliant, skyfall on the other hand is never mentioned till like the last 30minutes of the movie it is not properly explained and I truly still don't know why they named the movie skyfall
James bond:
Quantum of solace has bond acting like a real spy/assasin,he is cold with a dark sense of humor and elegant and depressed finally bond is human .skyfall however features bond trying to ripoff the depression act from QOS except this time he was brooding for no reason at all, one moment he is sad next moment he is dropping lame cracks and smiling like a clown and is too plus he was being too rogermoorish/steven seagal(1 blow 7 die) he was nt human anymore
Gadgets:
Quantum of solace, the gadet display are very few very realistic and bad ass I mean bonds phone has a GPS tracker. And cutting edge megapixels not to mention M's video calling and briefing table but skyfall has a 2012 film feature a gun with lousy fingerprint scanner and a fatasss radio that was supposed to be inconspious. Not to mention his silly car from goldfinger that shoot bullets and ejects people out of their seats. At this age and time? Jesus
Villains:
Dominic greene shall be remembered for his unique human elements his cold creepy smile, his business sense that is similar to powerful utility companies of today and who can ever forget quantum. But skyfall? What do we remember silva for? His teeth?his unrealistic computer skills?or as the man that was more lucky than an irish rabbit?(I mean the dude couldn't even kill M his henchmen had to riccochet a bullet to kill her)
Iconic scenes:
- the heart pounding car chase in the beginning
-the big ben fight in sienna
-the opera scene
-plane fight
- bonds capture and escape
-miss fields death scene
Skyfall nko?apart from bond tearing the back of a train and fightin some dude in the shadows, what other iconic scene does skyfall have
Soundtrack:
QOS tried something new which was rock music and it soothed the movie perfectly but skyfall even though I love adele and think skyfall is a good song, doing a ballard in the 20th century as well as hiring adele for commercial purposes was simply cheap and desperate and of course skyfall had to steal the title sequence from QOS
I don't even want to get started with the moneypennyQ blunder or implausible plot.anybody wanna compare skyfall to moonraker

Guys guys! Its okay to like a wack movie. U don't have to prove it cos u'l loose credibilty and appear aloof! Imagine comparing skyfall wit QOS that almost wrecked the bond franchise! U even went as far as comparing adele's amazin oscar winning ballard to some rock track I can't remember anymore! Now dats desperate. Normally most films polarize, its either the fans love it and d critics hate it or its vice versa. Skyfall belongs to a rare category of movies where both love. Skyfall was in d top 10 of a lot of critics and fans. QOS that turned bond into universal soldier! Wen I heard adele belt out that ballard wen bond fell into d water, I knew I was in for a treat and I wasn't disappointed.

loooool you violated the rule of the game now you shall be sentenced to 72 hours of skyfall viewing, have fun!

Nobody wan help me compare skyfall and moonraker abi? No worry I go do am by my self
Movie title:
Just like skyfall, the title moonraker is also mentioned twice in the movie and makes no sense as to why they gave the movie such a lame title and of course as usual there was no proper background surrounding both names

James bond:
Both bonds were lame and had a really disgusting sense of humor especially when they kill people, jeez who drops a joke over someones dead body?then both bonds were so eager to not be stealth when spying they just loved being found out,not to mention they both practiced the most silliest pick up lines in movie history that anyway still got the shameless biitches to jump into bed with them, a supermanish bond that survives free falling I mean moonraker bond even fell off a plane and he still survived although skyfall is worse sha then of course both bonds saved the day without breaking a sweat even tho a million bullets were fired at them by a billion henchmen, not to mention both bonds engaged in senseless flirting with moneypenny and dropped stoopid jokes when Q showed up with his grumpy self not forgetting his lame stunts like tearing the back of a train and jumping into the train(skyfall),and the falling off a plane but still being able to snatch another guy's parachute in mid-air(moonraker)
Gadgets:
Both bonds had a wide variety of lame gadgets like
Moonraker:
Exploding wrist watch
Boat that shoots mines and has an ejector glider
The skyfall had:
A car that shoots bullets and also has ejectors
A stoopid handgun that recognizes only bond's fingerprint
A gigantic radio "transmitter"
A radio phone that can transmit all the way from london to turkey without turkish soldiers noticing
Not to mention a laptop that can hack into a military bunker
and a long range snipers rifle that can pass through airport authorities and a stoopid handgun with double barrels


villains:
Both villains had access to space
Both villains ruled the world
Both villains had a million henchmen at their disposal
Both villains had stoopid objectives
Both villains had so much money that they didn't know what to do with it, although in moonraker the villain had a source of wealth unlike skyfall where the villains source of wealth is left for us to figure out on our own
Both villains had stoopid island hideouts
Both villains had pet reptiles that were just to slow for bond
But unlike the villain from moonraker skyfall's villain has magic powers and can hack computer systems and blow up tunnels with his mind

Iconic scenes:
Both movies had none
Soundtrack:
Both ballards but unlike adele's skyfall, it was not gay and uncomfortable to have a ballard as a soundtrack for a james bond movie in the days of moonraker

There I said it didn't need your help

@leverage,@yoji don't get me wrong o quantum of solace is a beautiful movie I just dey flow for that post wack ke,to me quantum of solace even beats casino royale even tho casino royale was a remake. #skyfallhaters for life

@leverage you forgot to add that while moonraker ripped off star wars skyfall ripped off,batman, mission impossible,die hard and home alone

leverage:

loooool you violated the rule of the game now you shall be sentenced to 72 hours of skyfall viewing, have fun!

You monster! How can you subject a human being to 72hours of skyfall watching when he can't even stand 15minutes of it anything but that

@yoji ROTFL "quantum of solace almost wrecked the bond franchise?"Sorry for laffing but Are you serious? Let me tell you some facts about quantum of solace
1. Do you know it is actually the second highest grossing bond movie after skyfall it even surpassed goldfinger in the year of its release.
2.Do you know it actually boosted skyfall's sales, about 71% of bond fans expected bond to go after quantum in skyfall which means if there was no QOS skyfall would not have made so much money
3.Do you know that the people see QOS as the most realistic and deepest james bond movie ever, even the people who don't like it just go "it was too real and too dark" sounds like positive criticism to me
4.Do you know QOS is actually the first bond film to be based on a true story
5 QOS is also the first movie to be written on set

@leverage please try to reconsider yoji has been thru enough already watching it the first time

U know what's real?nobody loves skyfall not the critics, not the "fans" not even the analyst its the truth everybody hates skyfall but at the same time everybody loves james bond, that's what I just discovered,@yoji I've heard the pleadings of your friends. To leverage so your sentence has been lifted @leverage good job with the analysis as in I dey do baale as I dey here keep it up #skyfallhaters for life

My take on why skyfall sucks:
A. Implausible movie plot
B.unrealistic storyline
C. Boring scenes
D.fake fight scenes
E. Too many characters that made no sense to the plot
F.too much CGI e:g the motorbike chase,train fight,shanghai building fight,komodo dragon,silva's teeth,helicopters etc.
G. Lack of character development
H.the silliest villain in bond history
I stealing from batman?really sam mendes?

Besides I heard skyfall was among the top ten movie of 2012 guess what? QOS was among the top five movies of 2008 not bad for a movie that"wrecked the franchise" lool
Abeg. Boys enjoy the links jo.

I hate skyfall. No long thing quantum of solace was quite tasteful

Daniel craig is the best actor to play james bond he is even better than sean connery and Quantum of solace was the movie that showcased his supremacy, he was really intelligent in that movie, he fought good and his stunts were insane Quantum of solace is a really good movie.

Skyfall sucks man but like yoji said it alright to like a wack movie so skyfall fans, you're in the clear @leverage @33117 *thumbs up* una try for my body those linx were LMAO amusing

Nice one man no one could have criticized skyfall better

@33117 lol on point man out of all the three bond movies the only movie that got the reception it deserved was quantum of solace, marc foster was hard working and creative, the story was written on set by both marc foster and daniel craig but he was still talented enough to make the most thrilling bond story in history. All the accolades it got for original story, effects,scores,action scenes,soundtrack etc plus its gross earnings being the second/third largest in bond history as well as being the gate to skyfall's success is just what QOS deserved but casino royale was like a breathe of fresh air to the franchise but. It got nothing but a stoopid award for score, people criticized it for getting rid of bonds stoopid elements then the baba skyfall not only brought back the ridiculous. Bond elements but also invited the most stoopid action scenes and forced emotions not to mention the supernatural elements it dazzled on both bond and silva but then they not only.gave them 1bn dollars but gave them so many praises and accolades it didn't deserve . I mean the movie went down to hell from the part where gay-asssss bond finds a casino chip that continued his mission

Lol for me the movie was ruined when bond winx at mallory during a gun fight then shoots a canister of fire extinguisher to ruin silva's 11year plan to kill M are you for real?

Loooool una dey fall my hand o! U don forget that lizard wey chop person as in when I saw that scene I just knew that skyfall was doomed and I wasn't suprised

From the part where bond gets shot and falls off the train I knew it was gonna be one of those bond fake-assss movies cos for sure I knew he wouldn't die and there is no logical way he could have survived that of course they didn't even bother explaining how he survived which even made it worse
Yeah and you're right adele is a fantastic singer and skyfall is nice as a song but as a bond movie soundtrack, it just bored me to sleep no wonder skyfall didn't win best soundtrack unlike quantum

Adele won grammy for skyfall i think

Brisingr: Adele won grammy for skyfall i think

Yep she won a grammy , an oscar and a golden globe but that was adele winning for the single "skyfall" but did the movie win best soundtrack or any other award for soundtrack or theme? NO it didn't cos skyfall sounds too gayish for a bond soundtrack

For me man when bond got on that bike and started racing the other guy on rooftops that's when I knew that skyfall was going to be fuuucked and of course I was right
Thief!thief!thief!
Rooftop chase: stolen from QOS
Train fight scene: octopussy
Silva blows up M's office: die hard 4.0
M getting more screen time:QOS and TWINE
Bond and patrice fight the second time: killbill volume1
Bond hops on the back of a komodo dragon:live and let die
Silva's rat story:dominic greene's ant story from QOS
Silva's detention cell: hannibal lector
Silva runs through london tunnels with bond behind him:bourne ultimatum
Bond shoots fire extinguishers for smoke screen: rui assassins
Skyfall: batman
Silva: batman(joker) and law abiding citizen
Battle at skyfall: goldfinger(bonds shooting car),home alone(setting traps round the house), cliff hanger(bond shoots the floor and falls through the ice with the other guy),casino royale and QOS(M's death which was similar to mathias's death in QOS and bond's tears similar to vesper lynd's death scene)

well you can't really expect much when a boring-assss drama director is hired to direct a james bond flick.

@lanreajirobaju yeah, I noticed M's death scene was too cliche, the good guy battles like a billion bad guys so clinically he doesn't even have a scratch on him then he holds unto his dying friend and cry I've seen that a million times especially with steven seagal, it wasn't a bad idea. To kill off M but how they did it was just fuuucked if M died earlier in the movie or something shocking happened like bond killing M or allowing silva kill M or having to let go of M in order to save the world or something. Even if silva killed M as he intended would have made more sense,c'mon when bond deliberately created a vulnerable situation for M only an iidiot would have been surprised by M's death

friendlyadvice:

Yep she won a grammy , an oscar and a golden globe but that was adele winning for the single "skyfall" but did the movie win best soundtrack or any other award for soundtrack or theme? NO it didn't cos skyfall sounds too gayish for a bond soundtrack

Skyfall sounds too gayish for a bond soundtrack? When you begin watch bond movies? Listen to diamonds are forever and live and let die soundtracks and compare them..skyfall soundtrack is a typical bond track.

Brisingr: Adele won grammy for skyfall i think

i meant oscar

Let's see I have been watching james bond films since I was 7years old and I started with jimmy barry's casino royale(1967) yes I'm familiar with shirley bassey's past ballards but GUESS WHAT? Adele's skyfall still sounds gayish. Compared. To chris cornel's casino royale(2006) theme "you know my name"besides live and let die wasn't a ballard it was a rock theme

You see? You still compared it with a new age bond movie..who said that cornel's theme song is the yardstick for bond soundtrack? Live and let die is a soft rock yes,diamonds are forever nko? Is it rock?

@friendlyadvice hehehe you're so crazy do you know I never noticed the adele theme thingy you're right if they wanted. To make skyfall theme a ballard at least they should have included the silhouette naaked gals like usual but having a hard asss man like daniel craig walking through a graveyard with a gun in his hand and wound in his right shoulder while skyfall theme plays is kinda gay
Its been a while since I saw that movie but anytime I hear the name one part comes to mind.the part where silva is captured and interviewed by M then he breaks out of his cell by some miracle courtesy of his sony vaio laptop and Q's stoopididty then Q goes further to say one of the dumbest thing I've ever heard"silva had this all planned he wanted to be captured" ARE YOU SERIOUS? Just how daft do you think we are?
Just imagine so silva planned that:
1. His henchman patrice would rob some english dude off a hard drive with such vital information(how did he know where to find this hard drive, what is it doing on the english dude's laptop to begin with)then he will make it out alive even though the whole of MI6 would practically run after him and of course they won't be able to shoot him on a bridge, at a market place or perhaps off a train and when he stopped at the train station or went through the airport to leave the country he wouldn't have been tracked through the serial number of the hard drive and apprehended
2. Silva also planned that patrice will be skillful enough to shoot bond once in the shoulder even though he fired like a billion shots in istanbul that bond can track then incase moneypenny accidentally shoots bond and bond lands in a lake, bond shall be rescued by the mermaids in the opening theme and send him to shore with a bullet wound in his shoulder.of course the bullet patrice uses would be so rare that only 3 people in the world use this bullet and of course patrice would be coincidentally wanted for so many crimes that they can easily find him
3. Silva planned to blow M's office so she could see it cos he knows she was out for that day(if they caught him hacking for the decryption codes then why didn't they catch him when he was hacking to know M's time table?)Then he would expose the content of the hard drive on youtube and keep his fingers crossed for M to be dumb enough to NOT order youtube to take down that video
4.Next patrice now has to carry about a poker chip from silva's casino about with him so when he encounters bond again and doesn't kill him, bond will judo flip him out of a window then pick up this poker chip and continue his mission
5. Then bond will find some prostitute in silva's casino. Who will coincidentally betray silva to bond and bring him to silva's "secret lair" of course after surviving silva's couriers and komodo dragons
6. Then silva will tell bond he knows M but still hope that bond doesn't figure out that he wants to be captured deliberately
7. After meeting M for hopefully the last time silva's laptop would then hack into an MI6 bunker to set him free he would use his mind power to kill the guard closeby and have a train crash through a tunnel when bond runs after him(also with his mind)
8. Then finally just stroll into a heavily guarded courthouse with Englands top dignitaries and simply start shooting at everybody there till his bullets get to M
I remember seeing black right after that scene I didn't even care what happened next

sarutobie:
You see? You still compared it with a new age bond movie..who said that cornel's theme song is the yardstick for bond soundtrack? Live and let die is a soft rock yes,diamonds are forever nko? Is it rock?

*confused* bros na wa for u o I dey A u dey talk Z. Who is talking about new age bond themes or bond theme yardsticks? Don't get me wrong I love adele and skyfall as a song is pretty good BUT doing a ballard for a so called "action/thriller" movie with a violent protagonist is so so so GAY! You feel me? Lol live and let die na soft rock for ur house abi?

Brisingr: i meant oscar

*hug* I know son, I know
