@yoji lol you culled all that from wikkipedia right? I read that too when I was not sure it was skyfall I had just seen at the cinemas. That was initially my first mistake I trusted the review and rating of the so called "renowned critics" before seeing the movie and when it ended I had the puzzled look on my face like O_o that's it? Maaaaaaan! From that day onwards I took a solemn oath to never ever trust the words that come from a movie review before seeing a movie. Besides I don't really think CNN should count. Their comment was just a show of appreciation for featuring their news studio in the movie

A movie can either really suck or suck this much but it can't do both wink.

@ brothers: i must confess, i really liked the movie sha that's y am at loss to understand where d negativity comes from. it was the negativity on nairaland that made me research the global attitude to d movie. For people that micro dissect a movie to make it look bad, just know that No movie will survive the same process.
That majority of fans and critics loved it is not in question, the question is why?

Its no surprise that this movie sucks everybody knows that it has been a fact for a while now,its evident as nobody praised the plot or storyline or dialogue. everyone just talked about the cinematography and the performance of javier bardem, daniel craig and judi dench. Micro dissecting is just our way of having fun if you want to love a wack movie nothing do u its your choice na.sad pele see wetin una don cause, yoji don turn researcher because of una sad

Pls pls pls. Nobody shut bring storyline into this matter. Since when was bond known for its story line. All of them no b 1 madman that either wants to cause war or blow up sumtin?
That 1st scene Chase for me was exhilarating, the scene on the Indonesian boat too was beautiful and Daniel Craig was finally commanding. No doubt bond has been toned down now, that y i liked it. So if skyfall was so bad, that means most bond movies wud b rubbish cos i can't understand anybody wwould like brosnan 's cartoons or roger Moore's comedies.
Last last i think it's a racial thing. Blacks didn't like it but whites did.

So in other words you like skyfall because of indonesian boats and the opening chase scenes. AMAZING!

yoji: i can't understand anybody wwould like brosnan 's cartoons or roger Moore's comedies.
.

grin cartoons? I'm glad you said that cos as u knw, that is one of the numerous problems with skyfall. Its so hard to believe that one bond movie could emulate
1. Biker mice from mars(bonds unrealistic rooftop motorcycle stunt)
2.Superman(bond surviving a shot from a high powered snipers rifle,drowning,train crashing,ice glacier fight,explosion debris from the skyfall gas explosion)
3.Batman(silva's character and bonds so called background)
4.Spiderman(bonds unrealistic hanging under an elevator stunt)
5. Dexters laboratory(silva's unrealistic hacking which can open MI6 prisons, blow up MI6 on demand and even get information to laff at james bond)
6.Tom and jerry(silva living without teeth after a failed suicide attempt by a cyanide capsule that works like acid rather than normal poisonous cyanide capsules)
Then you mentioned roger moore comedies,like you didn't notice the dumbass forced witty oneliners daniel craig was dropping during serious situations like: waste of good scotch,enjoying death, always like to make an appearance, last rat standing, brave new world etc, which made the movie look like a childish comedy than a spy thriller.grin continue the posts continue to jabo

Bond isn't known for its storyline? Why are intelligence agencies in existence? For counter-terrorism and counter-espionage so 1 madman wanting to cause war or blow shiit up is kind of logical in every movie. Since you like to research so much let me give you an assignment read the storyline of the following bond films
-on her majestys secret service
-from russia with love
-live and let die
-the world is not enuff
-casino royale
-quantum of solace
Read the plots to these movies and tell me bond plots don't matter *SMH*

Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by severee(m): 10:25am On Aug 23, 2013
forreelinc: My fellow nairalanders, finally someone has told me why skyfall is the best bond ever
1. Daniel craig really. Stamped his print on the franchise with this movie
2. We got to know about bond's childhood which is new
3. The villain is the most unique and realistic
4. The movie is deep and passes a deep message
5. M's departure from the franchise was moving as it was shocking
6.The return of Q, moneypenny and Male M
7.The action scenes are very realistic
8.It is the highest grossing. Bond movie till date
9. Truly original story
10. Mad ass soundtrack
11.Perfect storyline
12. MI6 was the focus this time
13.Breath taking scenes
grin as tempted as I am to shred this review in pieces I will love it if one of you could help me tell this guy why his views even makes skyfall worse than it was before

LMFAO you boyz are hillarious
I saw skyfall like last year december at shopping mall or e center can't really remember but I remembered however that the movie was not a good one to be quite frank it is the most terrible bond movie I've seen in a while. it was so rushed, under financed even though it had a big budget and the actors looked bored and uninspired almost like they were tired or not being paid enough,the storyline was a mess and the plot was implausible.it was bad enough that they strayed far away from the quantum of solace realism they now brought two unattractive and untalented actors to play that tech guy and secretary from pierce brosnan's bond films, and javier bardem as the villain really?he wasn't even that good in no country for old men they now brought him into the bond franchise to further damage a movie that was already in ruins. WTF, The cinematic experience and the 50th anniversary was quite enjoyable I must confess afterall it shows in the movies turnover but I know I will never get that movie in DVD because garbage no dey stay my house I always throw it out. The point this guy posted above is he serious? Or is he just trying to pull our legs?

3. The villain is the most unique and realistic

LMFAO. dee person dat told u dat was he high skyfalls bad guy realistic and unique? He first blew up MI6 with his computer( cheesy) he then shows up and tells a tale about two rats that made no sense and had no relation to what was at hand( rolling eyes) then he starts to caress bonds chest and threatens to rape him(turning me off) puts a glass on the french gals head and proceeds to shoot her in the head for no reason(perplexed)he then shows us his dental work (ew! Didn't he know some of us were eating) he bursts out of prison remotely using his laptop?(Its official this is the dumbest idea for a bond villain ever) then silva planned all of this?(FLUSH) hands down the worst idea of a villain not just a bond movie but any movie could come up with, his character was the combination of a rogue agent(similar to 006 golden eye), a techno terrorist(henry coupter, tomorrow never dies) and a deranged man out for vengeance(joker, batman) that's not unique in any way. His character carried no weight,was poorly written and he didn't even pose any threat if MI6 wanted to take him down they would have done that in an instance:
. Moneypenny cud have easily put a halt to silvas hard drive theft plan if she quickly reloaded her gun and fired again or she could contact MI6 turkish allies or her fellow colleagues to stop patrice at the train station or stop him at the airport, if that didn't work the Q branch could re-route the hard drive serial number and discover its current location afterall if they can track someone with his office printer in real life they definitely can track down a hard drive containing the list of NATO agents embedded in middle eastern terrorist organization
.When they saw they couldn't get the hard drive back they could have destroyed and redesign the decryption codes which will be useleSs in decrypting the file should a hacker try to get the codes they could even set a trap for the hacker and trace his address ,they could have cleared those agents out in time before their fotos went viral, they could have called youtube and every news agency to take down any videos they received concerning discreet MI6 files, they had 3 months what were they doing didn't they know that
.Bond was sent to interrogate and kill patrice but why didn't they ask him to question and kill silva it would have been more convenient and quicker that way its called damage control
When silva broke out of jail they should have sent a batallion of MI6 agents to chase after silva and deploy special tactics squad to evacuate the subway and seal silva off
. Bond had like a million chances to kill silva, he cud have shot silva on the island, he had his chance to capture silva or kill him during their stand still on that train, bond could have shot him when he was climbing out of the tunnel,even in the courthouse both bond and silva climbed out the same tunnel came into the courthouse through the same door if but bond conveniently skipped the door silva burst through into the court room if only bond took the same boy he would have had a clear shot at silva from behind but noooo they just wanted silva to keep running to extend the movie length and when silva got away they could have used all their resources and allies to track and kill silva he is just one man.the only reason silva was so great was becos the script moved logic aside and defiled the law of physics, chemistry and even biology to make him last longer. They even picked the wrong actor for the role javier bardem seriously?
There's johny depp, there's jude law but javier bardem really?his villain portrayal was very poor he tries to be scary but its barely believable, he tries to have a pathetic background but we don't feel sorry for him, he tries to be so skillful and like able failed silva is by far the worst bond villain ever
