Daily Mail's Skyfall review

[Dr. No]

I don't mean to say I mind Sweeney posting them he's a good guy and someone i respect

[FormerBondFan]

Henry Cavill, Michael Fassbender, and all other handsome profile actors should stay from becoming the next Bond. If the Age of Madness continues, then the Age of Freaks & Weirdos should be a follow up. BJ, are in agreement?

I am not at all convinced these reviews matter for repeat viewings. This film is a disturbing take on a Bond film and I think after seeing it once people will not care to spend money to see it again and again. The media superhyped the Oh-bama being up by 6-12 points in polls UNTIL the great debate and people saw him for what he is not, and now have left him quickly in droves so much so that he could very well lose. The same will occur with Bond 23........FBF, do not give up....yet...trust me.......if the minions decide this garbage is what they want, send in every type of weirdo you can find to play the Bond role for it just won't matter any longer.

Not many 5 or 10 star reviews.

The weirdo shall be send regardless whether DC leaves or not, and that's only if Bond 23 breaks box office records (worldwide and especially here in the US) and/or receives big American movie awards nominations.

Where is Hellboy when you need him?



In fact, Hellboy films are little more Bond than DC's Bond will ever be.

I don't really care if the good reviews get posted here..I don't necessarily read all of them, it must be said.

[FormerBondFan]

katied, do you plan to skip Skyfall altogether no matter great the movie is?

[Kristatos]

I don't mind the reviews some think we should I don't care to dignify that.

We're not afraid to go against the flow here.

Quote from the Daily Telegraph's review:

Skyfall shakes together familiar elements of the Ian Fleming canon - the cars, the guns, the exotic locales with the dames to match - into a blistering comic book escapade that the old Bond, and one suspects Fleming too, would find altogether alien.

This is a good thing, apparently.

I think a few negatives ones are bound to crop up soon enough. It's currently showing as 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, but I expect that will change in the next few weeks.

This one from Daily Mail suprised me a bit though, as I don't often remember them going overboard about a Craig Bond like this before -

Yes, it's the best Bond film ever! - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/ar ... -ever.html

No. And I said I probably wouldn't read any of the reviews..so far I haven't,

ALIEN? That's what we have been saying for 7 years now DC looks like he's from another planet any way.

Excuse my disbelieving this is better than Dark Knight, Dark Knight Rises, The avengers.

I don't think the question is can they make a decent film, it's can they make a Bond film. Then it goes in to what defines a Bond film which has been defined downward since LTK. Too many reviews are this isn't your daddys Bond OK but does that make it still Bond?

I did say this was their 3rd attempt at making Batman Begins looks like they were more successful this time.

its our bread and butter. What I should of said is to me the reviews don't matter one way or they other, I appreciate Sweensters reassurance but I was upset by someone else coming here to try to start a fight by posting reviews.

[FormerBondFan]

Where is Hellboy when you need him? It would be nice if Hellboy 3 was made and ready for release this November combating against Bond 23.

[Dr. No]

Hellboy why would I want Hellboy feel like I need to go to church just after typing the word Hellboy

Everything is preferable over Bond these days.
