mr.magoo: phew! Finally I understand where you are coming from. you are just another one of those movie viewers that condemn a movie simply becos they don't understand it, I battled a lot of people like you when inception was receiving fire so I know your angle, for a second you had me worried when you said skyfall was a classic why didn't you identify yourself sooner? |

I think you're right skyfall is classic garbage , this movie was unoriginal,unrealistic,poorly financed,poorly performed,poorly researched, poorly written,poorly narrated this movie is so bad that the plot holes happen to be really important plot point yes! its that bad, omo you're on your own with that opinion o "classic" you no even find better word use |

Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by forreelinc(m): 5:03pm On Oct 22, 2013 |
mr.magoo: Totally disagree with the so called dreadful casino royale and quantum of solace(especiall)) are two movies that don't have a single dent, oops I forgot you don't understand those movies do you? |
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by mrmagoo(m): 5:34pm On Oct 22, 2013 |
forreelinc:I deliberately started a nairaland account because of this topic, of course I understood both casino royale and quantum of solace those movies have so many holes like QUANTUM OF SOLACE: 1.Casino royale ended with bond standing over mr.white with a gun all of a sudden at the beginning of quantum we see bond in a high speed chase with two assailants that weren't in casino royale and M who was in england is now in italy 2.How did bond know he would find the main villain in haiti? When mr. White escaped without saying a word 3.When bond went on a killing spree how is it that M is updated about everything even when bond isn't talking to her 4.How does the main villain even conserve so much water in a country that isn't his 5.Camille is supposed to be killed yet she walks angrily to the man who tried to have her killed to confront him like she just saw him with another woman 6.How does bond know that camille is bolivian secret service 7.Speaking of which how did find bond during aeroplane fight Don't even get me started on the movies yeye camera movement and terrible editing CASINO ROYALE: 1. Bond shot a man in front of a camera and yet M still keeps him as an agent, how did they even know bond was MI6? 2.How did they know that bond was with solange in the carribean beach house 3.How did they know about bond's mission to bankrupt lechiffre 4.Why is bonds mission to bankrupt lechiffre rather than to kidnap him and torture him till he reveals who his friends are 5.How did they even know who mathis is afterall he hardly showed up at the poker table 6.How the hell did bond sink a 7 storey building house in venice 7.What was bond even doing near lechiffre's room before he was attacked by that nigerian rebel man 8.You people keep talking about. Bond shot twice and plunges into a river in skyfall oya explain how bond survived a car wreck in casino royale 9.Why did mr. White even kill lechiffre instead of joining him to make bond talk Oya now answer me |

mr.magoo: You're welcome. |
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by forreelinc(m): 9:32pm On Oct 22, 2013 |
And oh mr.magoo perhaps you could try explaining a few things about skyfall 1. How does M have a complete list of NATO NOC agents on a hard drive that her "allies" don't know about? 2. What is bond and this hard drive doing in turkey 3.If silva claimed to be a computer genius and is aware of the situation why didn't he lift a finger to help patrice in turkey 4. Perhaps you've heard this a million times but I want to hear your view how bond survive two gun shots, free falling and drowning 5. Why does M still have her job after one of the biggest security breach in espionage history 6.I don't think bond had a passport on him in that island want to explain how bond returned to england 7.Why is bond failing his tests he has only been absent for 3months and has been active for at least 7years 8.Of which what is everyone doing. In the 3months what is silva doing what is MI6 doing cos everyone seemed to have been on hold before bond came back 9. Bond however fails his tests but M puts him on the most critical mission which he initially failed why? 10. How was bond so sure that patrice would lead him to silva or his stoopid poker chip 11. How come patrice uses such rare bullets 12. Uranium metal bullets do those even exist 13.I will pay you a billion dollars if you can tell me what the hell was happening in macau and silva's island it was just people talking then severine is taken away and shot in the head why? What was going on? 14.How did severine know that bond would take patrices poker chip 15.Moneypenny is suspended yet she is in china with bond 16.Q shows up hands bond a gun and a radio and then now quips about not going into gadgets anymore care to explain? 17.Why didn't they even search bond for the radio? 18.Okay so silva planned to be captured why? What did he seek to achieve? 19. Silva's plan to kill M how is he so knowledgeable about things he can't even control like bond catching up with him or like Q breaking into his computer just in time for silva to escape take a train and head for the courtroom where M was having a hearing? 20. What was even the point of the hearing in the first place? 21. Bond chased silva for miles and miles only to end up not doing anything when he caught silva why? 22.When M learns that silva is on his way why didn't she leave the court room or at least arrange for proper reinforcement?it wasn't only her life at risk you know? 23.Where does silva keep getting all these henchmen from? 24.How does silva blow up MI6 with a computer 25.Why did M give up a valuable agent like silva to the chinese? 26. How does bond take a standard issue gun pass airport authorities in china cos I know english/chinese relationship is nothing close to friendly 27.Why is Q playing computer geek when he supposed to be I dunno making inventory of weapons like a normal qurtermaster should do? 28. Bond claims he doesn't want to hurt anybody in his quest to kill silva yet he uses M as bait but hides so that backup can't reach them 29. Of which what is even the deal with bond in this movie why is he so cold and distant always frowning in CR bond's was a rookie and his arrogance demonstrated his inexperience in QOS bond was heart broken and confused as well as fighting the urge not to make the mission about revenge. But here is he depressed cos he is said to be obsolete? Is he sad that M ordered him shot? Is he sad that he is an orphan these are basically theories but non of them answers the question what is with bond in this movie? 30.Is skyfall bond's ancestral home or where he grew up? Or his family home? Really what is skyfall? 31. How did bond's parents die? How was bond like before they died? 32.How did his parents death change him? All the sketchy talk up and down didn't really make things clear 33.Does kincade know what bond does for a living? 34. Bond shows up and says he wants to kill some people and kincade just jumps in and chooses to fight just like that 35.With an MI6 cyber-attack,a security breach, a terrorist subway bombing and an attempted assassination on the life of one of the world's most powerful women silva is now the most wanted man in england yeah? So how does silva conveniently stroll out of the country to regroup and get a military grade helicopter to lead an assault on skyfall 36. How does CNN even know the explosion in MI6 is a cyber attack 37.How come M can't take down the video from youtube 38.Why does mallory,q and tanner agree to such a dangerous plan without objection 39. If silva was so smart how come he fell perfectly for bonds skyfall trap 40. The aston martin can shoot now? When did that happen? 41. How come Q can still trace bond to scotland when he ditched the company car that has a GPS tracker 42.Bond just mastered learning how to shoot for a while it seemed to not be a problem to him 43. Moneypenny shooting bond accidentally is called friendly fire do people get suspended for friendly fires 44. Mallory said if bonds plan doesn't work we are in trouble yet bond's plan doesn't work but they aren't in trouble how come? 45. What ever happened to the NATO NOC agents list which was a major plot point no one cares about it anymore These are only a few things I can remember so try not to hurt yourself thinking of answers cos they aint any. There goes your classic |
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by Eapps(f): 10:11pm On Oct 22, 2013 |
mr.magoo: Skyfall is a wannabe classic this movie was so forced and rushed with cheap cheap gimmicks every single bond ritual didn't go un-performed they forced in big shot scenes from every successful movie you know then gave it some kind of pretentious realistic gritty feel with fine camera abeg anybody can do that jare not particularly a classic not even qualified as a good movie |
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by mrmagoo(m): 10:28pm On Oct 22, 2013 |
forreelinc: And oh mr.magoo perhaps you could try explaining a few things about skyfall You might have seen all that but this is what I saw 1. A bond with human feelings 2. A talented Q played by ben whishaw 3. A story that didn't just center on bond alone 4.A story that did a creative back story on every classic character from back in the day 5.A bond movie that was more than shoot outs and car chases I bet this is what the critics saw and this is what the fans saw that made the movie the success it is today its really pathetic that you all are too shallow minded to look beyond the plot holes to appreciate this movie #choi |

Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by friendlyadvice: 11:03pm On Oct 22, 2013 |
Are you kidding? What human element did bond exhibit? Punch bond he no longer bleeds,after hearing that the list has been exposed on youtube the next thing he did was to try to straff moneypenny,people die in his presence and he makes stewpid cracks about it A talented Q? Q just made a full of himself from beginning to end cos silva had to be supreme so Q had to be a foool and a foool he was and ben whishaws performance was terrible and what was even more puzzling was the fact that the Q here wasn't in fact any random Q but the same Q character from thunderball which confuses the timeline and totally destroy the foundation CR and QOS built Story that didn't center on bond? The name of the movie was skyfall of course the movie was about bond M only took center stage temporarily. Was after the court hearing before then it was pretty much about bond Creativity is one word that is totally missing from skyfall. The script is like a rejected batman script + a recycled bond story Q is supposed to be lucious fox(morgan freeman) from batman Moneypenny plays robin who is initially on the field but in a rushed scene decided field duty is not for everyon and introduced herself rather like how robin did at the end of TDKR Bond is like bruce wayne his house boy is alfred its so creepy bond even did that thing where batman stands at the top of a high building with his cape billowing to the wind Don't deceive yourself there's nothing interllectual to gain from skyfall please don't deceive your self On the other hand watching skyfall this what I saw -poor script decorated with plot holes -lousy dialogue which even creates more plot holes - random violence and unncessary scenes which just made the movie longer I don't know what movie you think you watched but I know its not skyfall |
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by 33117(f): 8:25am On Oct 23, 2013 |
mr.magoo: Apparently the person giving out the plaques at the academy awards was also shallow minded cos skyfall didn't shiit @ the oscars ROTFL Besides don't listen to the critics they know what they saw and liked roger egbert for example actually liked the fact that Q,moneypenny and mallory came back and bond was back to inspector gadget status again plus the movie paid homage to older bond movies of which I think they weren't paying homage they just didn't have what they could put in the script other than a stunt from older bond films |
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by Nobody: 8:33am On Oct 23, 2013 |
@mr.magoo besides 2012 was a good year for movies think about it all the high grossing movies were crap The avengers- 1bn full of crap TDKR- 1bn full of crap Harry potter- 1bn tons of crap Twilight breaking dawn- 1bn also tons of crap Skyfall- 1bn crap dispenser The hobbit- 1bn trash You see these were all terrible movies but they hit the all time high you think they can try any rubbish like that this year? Wey boys eye dey tear see all the blockbusters plummeting into box office flops. years differ abeg spare me like skyfall is the first movie to make a billion hell it isn't even the first bond movie to make a billion dollars |
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by leverage(m): 9:32am On Oct 23, 2013 |
mr.magoo: Quite the contrary my frnd you're the shallow minded one who can't look beyond the cheap gimmicks and cliched plot To see that this movie is actually crap |

Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by mrmagoo(m): 6:06am On Oct 27, 2013 |
@forreelinc it is not weakness I'm not just going to argue with you anymore, what really irritates me is the way you all immaturely nitpick on plotholes and not give the movie a chance, for me the plot of the movie doesn't contribute shiit to my liking the movie / not there are other more relevant things like how the movie was shot I.e camera angles, cinematography, texturing etc. What about the acting? That was out of this world, the action scenes? Is something you would watch over and over again its the perfect mix of thrill and fun skyfall remains a classic anyday anytime and non of your pointless and irrelevant ranting would change that. |
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by forreelinc(m): 12:26pm On Oct 27, 2013 |
@magoo You don't care about movie storylines,plot or script? Are there really people like you?Wow no wonder you are a skyfall fan. so you think skyfall's action scenes, cinematography and theatrix was "out of this world" yea? So where is the oscar? Where is the golden globe? Acting is acting to me only three people who stand out in acting, are jack nicholson,al pacino and robert deniro apart from them, no acting catches my attention |
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by yoji: 12:28pm On Oct 27, 2013 |
mr.magoo:Am wit u on that. No movie will survive the intense level of nit picking they subject skyfall to. It's just selective nitpicking to prove a poin that's all. Skyfall was classic with a refreshing retro feel. As good as gravity was, profs wanted to attack it on d grounds of scientific details nobody cared about but they were reminded it was a movie not a documentary. So no b today. |
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by forreelinc(m): 12:42pm On Oct 27, 2013 |
yoji: Zzzzzzzz tell it to the oscars dude |
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by friendlyadvice: 1:01pm On Oct 27, 2013 |
forreelinc: . so you think skyfall's action scenes, cinematography and theatrix was "out of this world" yea? So where is the oscar? Where is the golden globe? Abi o, there were some classic bond stories like casino royale, goldeneye,from russia with love or even the spy who loved me. Didn't win an oscar or golden globe. But at least we can cling to the excuse that academy awards are biased towards pinewood movies especially bond movies even live and let die as hot as the soundtrack was didn't win jack , but what is skyfalls excuse? This was a bond movie with hollywood written all over it, afterall sony took over production MGM is just a figure head now, skyfall was like an american movie about james bond and britain shot in american style, american theme and so on, so where are the accolades and the crappy scientology awards or diced pineapples or whatever doesn't count. |
