Okay, who's seen it?
I'll admit I'm a total Bond geek and just woke up after getting home at 3:30 after the midnight showing.
Long story short, see it. Perfect movie to celebrate 50 years of 007. Gives a nod to 007 of old, while moving forward.

Well, someone besides "the book was better" people.

I love Daniel Craig in this role. He's the closest actor to Ian Fleming's James Bond.
And Mike, the books are always better, but the movies are still great! Ian Fleming's writing is just that good!

And yes, Daniel Craig is the first Bond to challenge my belief that Connery could never be topped. They are neck-and-neck in my mind.

Skyfall is a Bond movie. | That's good news. I am loathe to go to theaters in this modern age of convenient home delivery of digital entertainment, but I may have to go queue up for this one, as I did for Casino Royale.

Everyone I know who has seen it has loved it, best DC Bond film, and as has been said, it's apparently a bond film, not an action film, like his last one was.

Even better the second time around!

Gives a nod to 007 of old, while moving forward. | Gives a nod to Bond of old and sets us up for Bond of old.. ... and I thought the ending was interesting..I liked all the Crasig movies.. Craig is the most believable Bond ever IMO. Connery will always beBond to me.. just as Shatner will always be Kirk.. but Craig is very believable.

I just saw it and think that there wasn't enough "bond girl and the black girl wasn't good looking enough. Bardem steals the show.
