TV/MoviesRe: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by brothers(m): 12:32pm On Aug 19, 2013
@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

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
