It was an okay movie, don't care much for Daniel Craig but I was a bit heart broken that Judy Dench(M) was killed. embarassed
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by forreelinc(m): 3:25pm On Aug 06, 2013
You know what would make sense in risico or devil may care or what ever bond 24 is going to be called:
New director:
Sam mendes obviously sucks as a bond director get someone new he doesn't have to be british suggestions are james cameron,quentin tarantino(minus the blood and gore),,zack snyder or even martin campbell they are more than capable to balance drama,thriller and action to give that right feeling
Soundtrack:
Rather than hiring the fat lady from the opera to sing a "ballard" try something new with the soundtrack get aerosoft or maroon5 for the soundtrack , it doesn't even have to be a british slow singer do something new and challenging get rick ross or john legend to do the soundtrack afterall their sample on django unchained was very neat

James bond
Nothing personal but daniel craig is getting really old and ugly really fast at this rate he could even pass for the new M's uncle so I'm thinking why not change the actor fine they can make him british but twist it a bit I'm thinking idris elba or some black english dude this way bond can look fierce but at the same time handsome. It will be a big change in the franchise

The bond girl
bond should have a steady girlfriend fine he can still have those girls he sleeps with or work with but make una give bond a steady girlfriend even if it means him dating moneypenny just something new and regular at least that should make the movie more realistic and more matured

The villain
Drop the criminals and focus on the real life targets like middle eastern, african or asian military just like the real MI6 does.tell the story from the eyes of the villain who can be a spy or a spy agency director so at least we could see the evil in MI6 so that for once we can see M as the villain and bond as the evil henchman

No gadgets
Please please and please stop with the gadgets nobody finds that charming anymore james bond is not bruce wayne so just stop the gadgets please

More on bonds background
Apart from office duty and womanizing. Take out about 30minutes to show bond do something else like watch tv, or garden or grocery shop even show us his apartment just show us what bond does when he is not killing bad guys

And please more brutal violence from bond I don't mind if you have to steal from jason bourne or ethan hunt or even jack bauer just don't make the action scenes be a yawn like skyfalls

If they try things like this on bond 24 ,the mortal sin called skyfall might just be forgiven grin plus they would make money and they won't need to bribe people to hype their crappy movies

Gerald butler would have been a good choice but he was already in tomorrow never dies so perhaps another good actor would be collin farrell bond girl emily blunt
Villain/hero karl urban the story should be based on bruce willis jackal only let the jackal be bond, the mission a secret assassination plot on gadhafi or fidel castro. Of course his mission should be foiled and have bond sent on exile or hidden or something just make bond have a non-happy ending like skyfall
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by kobosmart(m): 10:15pm On Aug 07, 2013
Eh? Black james bond if I hear? Like. Those raacist brits will let that happen besides people like being lied to they like to believe in a flying car than in solid reality. It will shock you that upon how creative and real your ideas are, everybody will hate it.R.I.P bond reboot I guess the dumb ways are the best
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by leverage(m): 11:08pm On Aug 07, 2013
Hmmm tasteful suggestions
Bond actor: tom hardy
Villain: morgan freeman
Bond girl: natalie portman
Villain henchman: chiwetel ejiofor
Soundtrack: usher, david guetta
Story base: remake of live and let die
Now tell me you are not mind blown
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by Nobody: 1:10am On Aug 08, 2013
Or what if 007 goes under cover as an astronaut in an elan musk like facility to uncover a conspiracy between a rogue asian nations military general and a.courier services owner and interrupt the unveiling of a cutting edge stealth satellite technology.which spies enemy countries, download sensitive materials from their computers and send it to mobile decoders to avoid detection

or perhaps let bond fill the shoes of jack bauer and assist an american counter terrorist agency in foiling a probable WMD transition bond is involved as a key agent in this transit is a current MI6 junior agent. Of course faceless till bond discovers him in the end

If they are to change daniel craig I will suggest christian bale as the new bond
Jude law should play villain
Bond girl should be diane krugger
Soundtrack can be done by smashing pumpkins

Try as much as possible to sideline moneypenny and Q to avoid nausea and shed more light on bond and felic leiters relationship, more intense action scenes, no stealing and no gadgets please

Skyfall is a baffling situation the movie has daniel craig,judi dench,ralph fiennes and javier bardem the movie has an academy award winner as its director and a grammy award winner for the soundtrack the movie also has a juicy budget of 200million and had a box office turnover of 1bn highest in bond history. So with all these how does such a movie happen to be one of the worst movies in 2012 and of course the worst james bond movie in 50 years I will tell you how

1. THE GENRE
They should have been more certain
This was the same mistake that killed roger moore's bond career
You actually can't take it seriously cos one moment its action packed the next moment its laugh out loud comedy. Of course skyfall took it a step further when they mixed action, comedy,thriller,crime even romance with some horror elements and a splish splash of fantasy so one moment bond falls a hundred feet and survives but the next moment patrice falls out of a window but dies and then you wonder what's going on does bond have special powers or what?

2 REALISM
Skyfall was too unrealistic you can't blow an office using a computer okay I understand silva turns on the gas but how does he light the gas with an internet match and how come no one in the office could smell gas in the air was it a work free day
How is it possible for silva to evacuate an island with a chemical leak hoax wasn't any professionals there to ask questions and why did they leave instead of fixing the problem
How is it possible that bond survived that shot in istanbul becos from the look of things it is as if bond just woke up swam to shore, dusted himself and continued with his life I don't think he visited a doctor like at all
Then how does silva hi jack a military safehouse with a computer? Is that possible? Then there is the part of him blowing up a tunnel and having a train fall through it just in time to stop/kill jame bond
How do 3 thugs dressed as police men walk into a court house heavily guarded and start killing people but is difficult to kill them
Then silva who exposed MI6 agents to their enemies, blew up MI6 HQ and killed people in it not to mention blew up a subway tunnel and crashed a train into a tube of course with all these he is like the number 1 most wanted man in britain but however he is able to just stroll out of england without anyone noticing to get a helicopter military grade and head back to scotland how is that possible?
Bond broke protocol and put the life of a high ranking officer in danger and got her killed not to mention he failed his tests and all his assignments but he is reinstated?even moneypenny got suspended for just shooting bond of course which was M's fault cos moneypenny warned M before following M's orders of course Q,tanner and mallory also kept their jobs even though they were accomplices to bond's skyfall idea
Is that possible?
3. BORING
Okay fine a movie doesn't have to be realistic most bond stories are usually unrealistic and even when marc foster tried to make a realistic bond movie, everybody hated that idea but at least could they have tried to make it interesting? NO I could remember falling asleep twice the scenes involved lousy dialogue,dull actions like either they are seated or standing nothing like walking into. A helicopter or engaging in some pulse pumping activity, they were always stationary even the casino scene bond isn't even gambling he is just stationary as usual then the action scenes MAN! Apart from his long istanbul chase, bond just throws like three punches and in like 30 seconds someone is dead and bond leaves the scene without a scratch BORING!
4.FAKE and INACCURATE
The portrayal of MI6 was ballz man
- you can't steal a hard drive containing a list of agents because you won't even find it on an agents computer. It will be on MI6 central computers which even some of their agents don't have access to not to mention outside forces hacking in to steal it
- you can't hack into MI6 servers whenever you like to pick up information to humiliate their washed up agents on your island
-MI6 would not send a washed up agent and a suspended field agent to retrieve such a sensitive document
-you can't hack into MI6 servers and then block the root from where your signals came from
- you can't escape from an MI6 holding facility
- you can NEVER assassinate an MI6 spy director
- An empty train in rush hour not true
-was silva's helicopter big enough to blow up the whole of skyfall?
-do komodo dragons act like crocodiles?
- if chinese military is onto someone they won't come and ask a spy director to give up their agent so M's reason for giving up silva was quite inaccurate
Bond's portrayal. Is also inaccurate
-why does he standby and let innocent ppl get killed before he springs into action
-he is supposed to be washed up, one moment he can't shoot, he can't pass his cardio evaluation the next minute he can take out three assassins with a briefcase or take out four armed escorts. With his bare hands
-skyfall really? Bond isn't scottish bond's parents aren't rich and how come he doesn't have any uncles or cousins in this skyfall? Bond's death scene did they know he was alive and just allowed him to run away or did they plan a fake death for bond's retirement? Cos M and moneypenny sure don't look surprised to see him moneypenny even goes to flirt with him immediately she sees him and why was he crying when M died to me that was inaccurate and made no sense bond and M aren't that close, bond was mad at her and he is naturally cold hearted if M didn't cry when she thot bond died then bond shouldn't cry for M dying
MOVIE LENGTH and USELESS CHARACTERS
In casino royale and quantum of solace we had seen bond interact with computer analysts so Q showing up was totally irrelevant as he was just another computer analyst and why is he a geek like the old one?why can't they for once why can't he just be normal or even be an elegant and stylish guy like bond? moneypenny and bond's interaction in skyfall was like bond's interaction with miss fields in Quantum or vesper lynd in casino royale so moneypenny showing up was highly predictable and was completely useless to the plot, mallory was also useless to the plot whether his first appearance was at the beginning or the end,it made no difference. the movie was too long with many useless scenes like the association test scenes,the bond silva island scene ,the casino scene, the moneypenny shaving bond scene,the hearing scene was way too long afterall it was just for silva to show up so why lay emphasis on what they were talking about in the hearing,the bond island scene(why didn't he just show up at M's apartment and start rolling?) Bond swimming and waiting for patrice bond showering with severine even the part where bond finds ronson wounded and tries to revive him. too many useless scenes which made the movie so long and boring

THE VILLAIN
Oh he is different alright he is. The most confused villain in bond history who is he? A hacker? A spy with computer skills? A rogue MI6 agent?a casino boss?a mercenary? Who is silva?why is he mad at M?he brought the wrath of the chinese on himself.how did he even know that M betrayed him I don't think he had access to TV or internet and he can't take the chinese word for it they tell lies all the time and what really is his plan?did he expect bond to find him or did he expect MI6 to find him, cos he blocks the link to tracking the signals which he used to blow M's office and he tries to get bond killed several times only for him to want bond to capture him, was severine in on silva's plan? I don't get it I don't even know what he wants one moment he wants to kill M the next he wants to commit suicide I DON'T GET IT and when he dies that's it M's death has no consequences, the disk is never recovered or talked about.
THE SURPRISING DEPENDENCE ON CGI
You think die another day depended on CGI? What do you think about skyfall? the motorcycle chase scene, the car chase, the train fight,the helicopters,the explosions, the komodo dragons, bond's fight with patrice,silva's island,silva's "deformed" face,silva's holding cell,the train crash all CGI almost like the movie was trying to exhibit its horrible Imax technology
ITS PREDECESSORS
Casino royale and quantum of solace were really really good films,but they had done it all brought all the element of surprise and the memorable stunts that skyfall doing all THAT again just made us yawn it brought nothing new to the table instead it just recycled scenes from other movies including old james bond movies. Just keeping my fingers crossed for bond 24 and 25 cos there are rumors that SPECTRE is coming back. if that happens that would be awful

But before you brag about skyfall making 1bn as that's its only defence for it being a good movie ask yourself,do u really like skyfall? Cos like sebastien faulkner says if you really like skyfall you are either a liar, bias about bond movies or you are just plain stoopid(no offence)

Darthmaul: Wow, Casino Royale seems a really good film now. When it was released it got a lot of negative reviews. Fast forward, it is a really good movie.
I bet before september 11, most people thought you couldn't attack the pentagon.
Talking about hacks, where did wikileaks come from? The chinese constantly hacks USA's defence.
No security is as secure as they make it feel like in movies. Even if MI6 was hacked today, do you think you would hear of it?

Hi babe :*
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by lechiffre: 11:27pm On Aug 09, 2013
@darthmaul really so
- casino royale was criticized for being unrealistic,boring and fake like skyfall?
-pentagon was attacked by a computer?
-wikileaks buys his information but if you think he hacks for information well.............
-the chinese people that hack us defence networks are they deformed jobless gay spanish dudes that stopped being spies like 11years ago
and now rules the world with his sony vaio laptop?
- and hacking MI6 is so frequent that they don't even need to parade the culprit in court and have journalists take his pictures like wikkileaks, manning or that NSA guy in russia?
Well...........okay if you say so

In casino royale and quantum of solace we had seen bond interact with computer analysts so Q showing up was totally irrelevant as he was just another computer analyst and why is he a geek like the old one?why can't they for once why can't he just be normal or even be an elegant and stylish guy like bond? moneypenny and bond's interaction in skyfall was like bond's interaction with miss fields in Quantum or vesper lynd in casino royale so moneypenny showing up was highly predictable and was completely useless to the plot, mallory was also useless to the plot whether his first appearance was at the beginning or the end,it made no difference. the movie was too long with many useless scenes like the association test scenes,the bond silva island scene ,the casino scene, the moneypenny shaving bond scene,the hearing scene was way too long afterall it was just for silva to show up so why lay emphasis on what they were talking about in the hearing,the bond island scene(why didn't he just show up at M's apartment and start rolling?) Bond swimming and waiting for patrice bond showering with severine even the part where bond finds ronson wounded and tries to revive him. too many useless scenes which made the movie so long and boring

THE VILLAIN
Oh he is different alright he is. The most confused villain in bond history who is he? A hacker? A spy with computer skills? A rogue MI6 agent?a casino boss?a mercenary? Who is silva?why is he mad at M?he brought the wrath of the chinese on himself.how did he even know that M betrayed him I don't think he had access to TV or internet and he can't take the chinese word for it they tell lies all the time and what really is his plan?did he expect bond to find him or did he expect MI6 to find him, cos he blocks the link to tracking the signals which he used to blow M's office and he tries to get bond killed several times only for him to want bond to capture him, was severine in on silva's plan? I don't get it I don't even know what he wants one moment he wants to kill M the next he wants to commit suicide I DON'T GET IT and when he dies that's it M's death has no consequences, the disk is never recovered or talked about.
THE SURPRISING DEPENDENCE ON CGI
You think die another day depended on CGI? What do you think about skyfall? the motorcycle chase scene, the car chase, the train fight,the helicopters,the explosions, the komodo dragons, bond's fight with patrice,silva's island,silva's "deformed" face,silva's holding cell,the train crash all CGI almost like the movie was trying to exhibit its horrible Imax technology
ITS PREDECESSORS
Casino royale and quantum of solace were really really good films,but they had done it all brought all the element of surprise and the memorable stunts that skyfall doing all THAT again just made us yawn it brought nothing new to the table instead it just recycled scenes from other movies including old james bond movies. Just keeping my fingers crossed for bond 24 and 25 cos there are rumors that SPECTRE is coming back. if that happens that would be awful

But before you brag about skyfall making 1bn as that's its only defence for it being a good movie ask yourself,do u really like skyfall? Cos like sebastien faulkner says if you really like skyfall you are either a liar, bias about bond movies or you are just plain stoopid(no offence)

You forgot to add that adele almost tore her vocal chords screaming the title of the movie like a billion times so we. Wouldn't forget the name on the fence of superman sorry superbonds parents estate in scotland

@lechiffre man ur analysis is not complete if you left out the part where bond sneaked into a yatcht to boink some call gal in the shower even tho her armed guardians were outside her room, did he hold any cash with him cos that's the only reason why she would agree to jump into bed with him that quickly I mean they only spoke for about a minute and she was ready to betray silva and sleep with bond jeez
I know he did it in casino royale but that was understandable they already shared glances when bond was swimming and she was a lonely wife besides his pick up notes were captivating QOS even had miss fields regretting her choice in jumping into bed with bond to show that they were both infatuated and of course bond sleeping with fields in QOS was so she would warm up to him and allow him continue his investigation. When I saw the severine bond shower scene I just burst into laughter

THANK YOU man I thought I was going crazy when everybody else liked that movie God that movie was a mess daniel craig didn't even own this one he was just acting like roger moore and God knows how much I hate that guy,

The bond girls are forgettable, too young and had no chemistry with daniel craig,

It had a stellar cast but that couldn't still save the movie, somehow their acting was not believable and they looked more like they were doing a broadway play especially javier bardem I don't know if the directors did it deliberately

It was too unrealistic c'mon. Sliding down an escalator without falling off, riding a bike of a rooftop, hanging under an elevator, fighting atop of a speeding train tearing the back of the train and jumping in after which you adjust your cufflinks and the passengers just stare like its a normal thing
The villains were all iidiots the guy from the beginning uses rare bullets when he knows it can easily be traced why?, he is also a ghost but they know what plane he is on, where he would be seated and they know ahead of time his business at shanghai if u ask me dat is one lame ghost, and how did bond know that the briefcase had €4million in it what he had a gadget in his head that calculates money upon sighting it? Then there was the casino baddies who cud have waited to ambush bond in a dark alley or shot him from long range but just walked up to bond like sorry please we would like to kill you so do follow us to a quiet corner to avoid any embarrassment then the casino had komodo dragons in it but they didn't put a cover the cave and one of the dumbass guys threw caution to the wind and tackled bond into a komodo dragon pit. When he knew there were komodo dragons in it and as usual everyone just stared when the oddjob wanna be is been mauled by two komodo dragons like it was normal for people to get eaten by komodo dragons, next were the bright sparks on silva's island that thought it was a good idea to NOT search bond cos if they did they wud have found the gigantic radio in his pocket then of course the police who escorted silva to a court house to take out the boss of one the world's greatest spy agencies even if it was possible to carry that out,they were policemen and with the cameras in the court house don't they think they can take a picture of them and track them , then let's not forget the zombies that followed silva to bonds house they just loved getting shot, walking into traps and the guy that fell into ice with bond, why was his gun pointing down why wasn't he pointing the gun at bond then of course there was silva I don't even know how to describe this dude initially he was dumb enuff to hack the chinese without thinking that they could find him and arrest him for that, then his cyanide capsules in my opinion rather work like acid I thot cyanide capsules intoxicates the victim till he chokes on his own vomit(sorry for gross detail) and this takes less than a minute so how did silva survive it cos even if anyone came to his rescue it would have been too late and it burns his teeth his cheek bone but leaves his tongue and his lungs intact?that must be one crappy cyanide capsule, and why did M even allow the chinese take silva when she knew they were unto silva she should have hidden him or asked him to flee or given him up then later after getting the other agents back, she cud have bargained to exchange a chinese criminal for silva like they did in Die another day cause silva was quite valuable with a strong personality(even tho he was shown in like 5 scenes and died screaming like a biitch)then how did he even get out of. A POW camp I don't think anyone frees POWs and I doubt if he escaped cos if he did he wouldn't be hiding so close to china and of course MI6 had nothing to do with it cos M tried to look surprised when she saw him, after getting out he went back into doing the same thing that got him arrested and he did it in the same place but perhaps the chinese weren't interested in him so they didn't bother keeping tabs on him, now he controls the stock market, has access to space just like the other lame bond villains in the early years and he rigs elections which he sells to the highest bidders I mean the dude literally rules the world and he is still upset that M betrayed him its been over a decade since that happened get over it you big cry baby, then first he wants to humiliate M out of office, then he wants to be captured, then he wants M to feel sorry for him,then he wants to kill M then he feels sorry for M and wants them both to die (you get my point) what was his plan really?I knw he was supposed to be a demento but hey even the joker and clyde he was trying to emulate knew what they wanted and knew how to get it guess what they were also dementos, so any way silva begins a plan that relies solely on chance the bullet, the casino chip, severine I mean there was a chance bond would have been killed before finding any of these clues what would he have done if that happened? Cos he. Casted some spell that stopped MI6 from tracing his attack on MI6 HQ. And was it in his plan for bond to be. Caught in the mix cos there were a million times that bond cud have died already but silva and his goons kept being sloppy and letting him get away ESPECIALLY when he stood like 7ft away from bond in skyfall that was silva's moment and he still foked that up? Man M should have sold you to the chinese earlier,what were bond producers thinking when they made silva call M mom it didn't make him creepy u knw it just made him silly and childish then he had a plan for everyone and everything but he didn't have a plan for bond and a fire extinguisher? This is a man who knew his way around the subway better than bond and Q combined, he knew his way around a bunker he has never even been to he knew just how train stations worked cos he just knew exactly what room to walk into and what time to walk into that room and he had an explosive in the right place for the right impact so how cud he have screwed up his plans for M the plans sef had so much drama and so much blood and it even involved him killing his errand gal(who cud pass for his daughter can't believe he was bannging the poor gal) for no reason. Just to be captured and break out of jail to find M? That didn't make any sense if he wanted to kill M so badly cudnt he break into M's apartment like bond does and kill her there or ask patrice to do it(grin afterall he did steal an MI6 agents list and killed 3agents in the process he can handle that)or even work on making bond turn on M afterall bond had gone thru the same shiit that he did and bond was a heck of an agent. Man it was like all the villains in this movie attended the same school of stoopidity and graduated top in their class.
Then there was james bond. I don't know about you but It didn't really look like it was a daniel craig bond movie,he was all laid back making jokes and being cheerful all the time like roger moore and all the horrible bond movies except skyfall came from roger moore then there's the part where bond is naked all thru the movie like in an hour run there were many scenes with him being nude it might have worked for him in casino royale but this time it was too much and being a homophobic guy it just creeped me out and the shower scene with a prostitue without a condom Is going to scar me for life.there's really no logic to why he is depressed in this film and I hardly noticed becos he wasn't even acting like someone who was depressed he looked like he was having a heck of a lifetime thru out the movie, then there was the part where silva says that bond has pathological rejection of authority becos his parents died that was weird I just imagined an old asss man like craig going stop telling me what to do mallory you aint my dad I hate you and I'm going to my room(bangs door) good thing he didn't do that tho then they made bond so lame at being a spy so as to extend the movie length like at the market place bond had many chances to kill rapace but he just. Didn't shoot kk he had a clear shot at silva both on the island and in the subway but showed restraint pretty lame bond then bond who knew ahead of time that rapace was showing up in shaghai to kill someone follows him into the building why? its not like he was going to stop the guy from killing anyone he cud have just waited in his car for patrice to come out or wait at a corner to ambush rapace as he steps out of the building then he knew silva was unstable and would kill severine but just sat back and let it happen only for him to spring into action 4 seconds later why? Severine was good to him why repay her with nothing? Then he takes his lameness further by endagering the life of M,he snatches M and then told Q to lay traces to his family estate did M had to be with him cudnt he tell Q to lead silva to a military unit as for the church where M and. Kincade hid why didn't he send them there or somewhere further before silva came, then M died, initially I was glad that I won't be seeing her ugly asss in the next bond movie but daniel craig just had to make us laff so he holds M up and starts crying , I found that funny and unconvincing it looked more like a scene from a sehakespearan play jeez craig cried in casino royale, he held back tears in QOS now he is crying again?
Then there is skyfall so all that show with bond walking out on the therapist all that screaming our ears off by adele(who should have been rihanna or jesse j cos adele is too boring and such a downer) was just bonds family home?. it was completely pointless what's the use of going to bonds childhood without knowing what his parents were like were they good parents for all I know they could have even been a gay couple and had bond from a surrogate , and bond grew up in scotland but doesn't have a trace of scottish accent even kincade doesn't have one either, its comfortable to say that bond grew up under the guidance of kincade and he acts nothing like kincade and why does the house look like something from the 17th century highest house was built in thirties?and what is the deal with bonds death I'm really curious first bond is shot twice and falls off a train presumed to have drowned next we see him on some island and not in the intensive care unit of a hospital okay when he shows up in london M isn't surprised to see him, moneypenny isn't surprised either and worst of all even kincade isn't surprised that bond is alive did they know but didn't care to look for him it confused me a bit.and why did bond run away if he was so pissed why not head back to MI6 yell I QUIT to M sell his skyfall estate and retire in a much upscale resort unlike the shabby island we found him in the beginning that was really illogical mr. Bond then there are many things that happen to bond like when a train crashed into a room with bond in it or when his skyfall house came crashing on him or when he crashed into a zero degree ice pond but bond still miraculously survived without a scratch which made bond look like a wolverine mutant, and where is bond in this story is he still in the beginning of his 00 career is he in the middle is he on the verge of retirement cause it didn't look futuristic or too far from his quantum mission yet they are comparing bond with technology? Now is not the time guys qos was just 4years ago.

Then the action scenes were WACK with a capital W the chase scenes were boring the fight scenes were so short that I swear if you blink by the time you open your eyes the scene is done, then there is a shootout scene which is nothing out of the ordinary then skyfall's duel in which bond isn't bothered when silva is tossing incendiary grenades in his childhood home but when silva blows up a car which he won off a guy that finances terrorism bond is pissed off? Seriously? That was not lame that was just laughable. And there was a part where bond snaps a guys neck in mid air what's bond now iron man?
I must confess I'm not a bond fan tho I've watched all the movies and out of them all the only movies I thot were good were from russia with love, casino royale and quantum of solace. But now bond is back to its lameness and has sent me heading for the hills anyway I thank bond producers for making me laff my head off and I thank you my fellow nigerians for not joining the world in skyfall's hype. I know I can always count on you boys peace
