The Sweeney has a sense of humour unlike some of the Daniel Criag fans we get on here.Mazer Rackham wrote:Not exactly damning. Better than Quark, not as good as CR what the hell kind of mixed bag is that!
I'll say this for Slick Jet Set Willy/The Sweeney he can dish it out and he can take it too. Last time he had to take his lumps with that piss poor film masquerading as a Bond movie. This time it could be our turn, a draw, or a come back. It's how the game is played got to be prepared to take the lumps as well as give them out.
Problem with our buddy is he gets carried away in the euphoria of the new release.

I've got a question. The critic rates Skyfall 4-3-3 in three different categories and it's rated "rotten". But the same critic rated The Avengers 3-4-3 and it got a "fresh" rating. Is there any logic to this?

Beats me. I looked at the icons on the Rotten Tomatoes page and this review was the only one without a "fresh" icon (a full red tomato).Gala Brand wrote:bjmdds wrote:Watch it go under 90% and lower as the film is watched by REAL people, not paid off Eon robotic critics.Napoleon Solo wrote:This appears to be the only negative review on Rotten Tomatoes (Skyfall score is still 98 percent):

Re: Skyfall Reviews
I don't know the rotten system is a mystery. I've read reviews mostly positive listed as rotten, and the other way round. I think they only read some of the reviews or only accurately list those reviews in line with their own system.Napoleon Solo wrote:Beats me.

Ok, ok.....I'll calm down over all these glowing reviews. I can see this is in bad taste for most of you on here. I have to be careful to be not carried away too, as my expectations are absolutely sky high right now for this......
Come next Friday, my expectations may be on a sky fall............

Re: Skyfall Reviews
BJ, there is still only 1 negative review on RT. This is hardly conclusive that any truth is coming out at all. More likely a reviewer tryng to make a name for himself by going against the tide. He's even receiving the customary backlash from Bond fans if you read the comments below his review.bjmdds wrote:The truth is now getting out about this junk.

Love it charlatans making a name for themselves and crooked lackeys paying for their daughters dental work by taking a dive. Are there no heroes left?

I know. I feel sorry for reviewers now. If they praise this film they've been bunged a crisp £50 in their top pocket by Babs personally, if they slate it they are name-grabbers looking to make a headline by going against the tide.

Re: Skyfall Reviews
Backlash from "Bond fans". More like a backlash from the lunatic fanatical Craig as Bond fans who always turn up expressing outrage at the merest hint of criticism of their hero.The Sweeney wrote:BJ, there is still only 1 negative review on RT.

I saw my first Bond when I was 7 or 8 -- Thunderball at a drive-in theater. That was the Imax of its day.
