Ooh"
This was my fav Bond song so far, not Adele's best song, but I did recognize her voice and loved the familiarity, probably the same way you guys feel with other artists you had known before you heard their song! I really, really liked this one. Seeing J and mums relationship evolve was so tender and you know I love a backstory. Also, Javier Bardem had no business being that creepy as a villain!!! Hope you enjoy!

2023-07-16 16:07:53 +0000 UTCLike Solace, I failed to stay awake for 6th time for Skyfall. Didn’t take long to black out, just 15min. I will try not to fall asleep again for Spectre. I actually loop Solace/Skyfall/Spectre without volume to sleep

2023-07-14 18:13:24 +0000 UTCSorry, my comment go split in two. Even though I have great respect for Albert Finney, having Connery and Craig fighting side by side 50 years after the original would have been one of the greatest cinematic moments of all time. The story didn't say why it never came to fruition,

2023-07-10 03:33:18 +0000 UTCFirst time "joining the conversation." I haven't read all of the Skyfall comments so I don't know if anything like this has been mentioned,. When the movie first came out 11 years ago, I read somewhere that the studio was trying to get Sean Connery to play the role of the caretaker that eventually went to Albert Finney/

2023-07-10 02:55:11 +0000 UTCIf you’re New here, just so you know, You shouldn’t read the Comments Section of the Reaction, until You’ve Seen the Film or Reaction. The Spoiler Free Zone is in the Upcoming or Poll Posts, which are usually posted Before Cassie has Seen the Films. If Cassie has posted Her Reaction, then She has definitely Seen the Film. Cassie and Carly are the only ones Most of Us are Afraid of Spoiling things for. Also, Nothings Formal here. I Like My Caps. I would’ve capitalized “They” instead of “are,” but that’s just me. I’m Not Judging. :-)

2023-07-09 16:35:14 +0000 UTCA Good Year is definitely a terrific "under the radar" rom-com. An absolute gem of a movie. Russell Crowe, Albert Finney and Marion Cotillard are wonderful and Cassie and Carly would really enjoy it.
Robin Craft
2023-07-09 14:56:03 +0000 UTCIn this Film, the Old James Bond and his Past is destroyed, such as his Childhood Home, Judi Dench's M dying, the Original Aston Martin blowing up, and even Bond himself "dying" in the beginning. The Government was also trying to End the Double O program. While at the same time, James Bond is Starting Over and returning to His Roots, such as having a Male M again, behind a Buttoned Leather Door (not seen since A View to a Kill), with Moneypenny at her desk on the outside of it. James Bond flirts with Moneypenny before entering M's office, where M will give Bond his Mission. Q is even back on the Team and arms James Bond with only a Gun and Radio. This is similar to Dr. No when Bond was only given a Gun. The Old James Bond is Destroyed and Resurrected in the same Film. By the Way... James Bond and Moneypenny Never "Hooked Up." Never in any Version of James Bond. Thinking otherwise is only Wishful. That is Not their Relationship. Moneypenny and James Bond playfully Flirt with one another, and that is it. James Bond thinks too highly of Moneypenny to "hook up" and then Leave her Alone. They both know there is a Mutual Attraction and that they could have something Big Together, but they also have too much Respect for each other to ever try to start something. James Bond and Moneypenny are just the Best of Friends, who like to Flirtatiously push each other's Special Soft Intimate Buttons.

Stick Figure Studios
2023-07-08 19:21:59 +0000 UTCThey gave M a bigger role in the story in THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH as well (indeed, many of the elements in TWINE almost makes it feel like a dry run for SKYFALL)
Stick Figure Studios
2023-07-08 19:21:15 +0000 UTCI wouldn’t call Kincade a main character he definitely supporting cast, but A Good Year is one excellent movie. It’s a real sleeper classic that I keep coming back to over and over! Albert Finney is a national treasure alongside Dame Judi. He has an incredible catalogue of movies and stage performances!

Aaron Ritchie
2023-07-08 04:25:46 +0000 UTCIntense movie. You could say that, Cassie. Good movie. Great Reaction ladies. Sad M died. She was in the Bond movies a long time.
Rick Williams
2023-07-08 03:33:26 +0000 UTCThis my favorite Bond-there is so much focus on character and story and they finally made use of having Judi Dench in the cast. When I saw this in the theater everyone gasped “oh no!” When they blew up the Aston Martin and you could hear sniffles when M died. Interesting story-before this film came out, I was in the UK for work for a couple of months and I went down to Beaulieu where they have a big car museum and they were hosting a 50 years of Bond exhibit at the time. They had a lot of vehicles from all the James Bond films including Goldfingers Rolls Royce and the Original Aston from the films. It was very cool to get to see. I think if Maid in Manhattan is the first place your mind is going when you see Ralph Finnes, we should add some more of his films to your watchlist-I saw him onstage once in London and he is a seriously talented actor. Maybe The English Patient will be Good place to go to next with him-it takes place before/during/ after WW2 and will pull you in will multiple love stories. If you thought Javier Bardem is creepy here(and he really is) you should watch No Country for Old Men-great Coen Bros movie and excellent performance from Bardem.

2023-07-07 22:35:46 +0000 UTCMy favorite Bond movie of them all, even though my surname is the Bond villain in Spectre. It sounds cooler with Bonds British accent.
Anthony Oberhauser
2023-07-07 22:34:46 +0000 UTCyes indeed also a great movie! I actually watched it on my laptop when i was in Bruges. Great paring as well replicated in the The Banshees of Inisherin
rakesh
2023-07-07 21:53:36 +0000 UTCAnother great Bond reaction! You really captured the excitement and nostalgia of seeing all the references to the classic Bond movies: the Aston DB5, the iconic music, the familiar characters and usual tropes. I think you really see now that knowing the history of Bond adds so much to these movies, that is lost to people only watching the Craig ones. If you would like to see some more Judi Dench, then I recommend THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL (2011). It is a charming comedy/drama I think you would enjoy.

Stick Figure Studios
2023-07-07 21:28:54 +0000 UTCAlso, given who Naomi Harris's character turns out to be, my guess is they didn't hook up in Shanghai. The movie never really tells you, but while she is certainly teasing him, she also seems to be softly rebuffing his advances.
Stick Figure Studios
2023-07-07 21:10:06 +0000 UTCThere was an earlier version of the script where Skyfall is a retirement lodge for former 00 agents. Apparently, Connery was slated to have a much bigger role than Finney did; one in which he would not be a groundskeeper but a former fellow agent that would have battled Silva with Craig's help. Tell me that wouldn't have been some epic s**t...! There is even a rumor that Connery actually shot rehearsal footage for this scenario, but his poor health ended his involvement.

Celeste McAllister
2023-07-07 20:54:41 +0000 UTCYeah, Silva's whole plan is absurdly complicated and doesn't make a lick of sense, but it doesn't really detract from what a ride the movie is.

2023-07-07 20:50:05 +0000 UTCPersonally, I'd put CR slightly ahead of this one, but they're both great.

Uncle Phoenix
2023-07-07 20:34:09 +0000 UTCMy favorite thing about this, especially having been raised on the Brosnan movies is that for just a movie they did something different for a change. The villain isn't trying to start WW3 or steal billions of dollars, it's simply a revenge tale. It also doesn't end in a giant action set piece aboard a super submarine or skyscraper but in an intimate Scottish church. I prefer Casino Royale slightly I think simply because I find the part where Silva gets captured as too derivative and full of a lot of plot contrivance with his plan.
Choof
2023-07-07 20:34:07 +0000 UTC*Bang. Bang.* “Welcome to Scotland.” LOL.
Wes Stewart
2023-07-07 20:25:26 +0000 UTCMy favorite Ralph Fiennes movies is, oddly enough, “In Bruge” with Brendan Gleason and Colin Farrell. It’s so dark, then darkly funny; and then dark again.
Uncle Phoenix
2023-07-07 20:24:02 +0000 UTCThis is the best Craig Bond, followed by Casino Royale. Both movies have incredible well played bad guys (by incredible actors) Overall it's one of the best Bond movies imo. I'm glad you both liked this one and I am happy that we still have two movies to watch, before we have a break until the other Bond movies.
Earthwalker
2023-07-07 19:35:57 +0000 UTCBy far my favorite Bond film. Can't wait to rewatch this

Zachary K. (Verified Swiftie)
2023-07-07 19:09:30 +0000 UTCThe franchise took quite the gamble by comparing the morals of the main characters instead of just their trigger fingers. Both men suffered a crisis of faith with MI6, but where it broke Bardem's character, Bond was able to shrug it off and stick to his ideals. Good gamble.

2023-07-07 17:56:27 +0000 UTCI don't understand a lot of these responses to ROBERT CLARK's post. We've always discussed films here in the reaction comments in great detail. These are not spoilers. These are comments that we have made assuming that those who read them have also seen the reaction thus the movie in question. ROBERT CLARK created no offense whatsoever.

2023-07-07 17:26:38 +0000 UTCThe scene where James is running through the streets of London while M is quoting Tennison to the committee gives me chills every time.

2023-07-07 16:47:47 +0000 UTCI remember walking out of the theater saying to myself, “this was the best Bond movie I’ve ever seen.”
Brian Lowery
2023-07-07 16:40:44 +0000 UTCFor me, this is Craig's best entry after CASINO ROYALE. Directed by Sam Mendes (1917, AMERICAN BEAUTY), it was a fitting tribute to Bond on his 50th anniversary. Without adjusting for inflation, it's still the highest grossing Bond film of all time (even my wife, who is not a big James Bond fan at all, likes this one). if nothing else, it's the best-looking movie of the series thanks to the gorgeous Oscar-nominated cinematography of the great Roger Deakins (BLADE RUNNER 2049, SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION) and Adele's main title tune became the first Bond song to win an Oscar. So glad that you both liked this one. Figured that you would (even though Carly didn't like it the first time). Yes, SPECTRE is the next one and yes, that was the name of the organization Connery fought in his early entries.
Stick Figure Studios
2023-07-07 16:03:23 +0000 UTCBit of trivia for you. Both paintings contain literally the same ship: the "Temeraire." One shows it in its "youth" during the Battle of the Trafalgar, the other shows it in its old age being hauled away for scrap. The implication is clear: Bond is the ship. Near the beginning of the film, Bond is a relic, out of step and probably needing to retire. By the end, he's rejuvenated, ready for battle and wanting to get back to work "with pleasure." Like he said, resurrection is his hobby.
Stick Figure Studios
2023-07-07 15:30:48 +0000 UTCI loved this movie so glad you liked it. Can't wait to see the Lethal Weapon 3 reaction. I hope you have a great trip to NYC. I hope Ben is getting better. Still praying for him.

2023-07-07 15:28:27 +0000 UTCThoko, since there is very little we can do about spoilers, except ask folks not to do it... I'd just advise you to avoid Patreon until after you've seen the movie, I know that's a crappy answer, but, there it is. I would also advise you to join the Discord community. That chat system is more actively moderated, has both spoiler tags, and complete conversation threads with spoiler warnings. The bond chat is the most active chat on the server, we have some very enthusiastic folks there. Plus, Cassie pops on once in a while and chats with us! Hope to see you there... Instructions are in the pinned FAQ post here on Patreon.

ROBERT CLARK
2023-07-07 13:32:29 +0000 UTCSkyfall is the one Bond film where the villain's plan was carried out in its entirety. That never happened before. Javier Bardem making that "eating" sound was like Anthony Hopkins making the hissing sound in The Silence Of The Lambs. So creepy but I loved it! 🥶😱 BTW, given Cassie's past reactions to on-screen nudity, it was hilarious to hear "Where are the naked women? It's Bond". 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

2023-07-07 13:03:47 +0000 UTCThe role of Kincaid should have gone to Sean Connery.

ROBERT CLARK
2023-07-07 12:35:05 +0000 UTCMy favorite part of that last shot of James and M is the painting on the wall: a British ship of the line in all of its glory. Harkens back to the scene with Q in the museum where James is being compared to the old war ship being hauled off for scrap.

Andrew Hogan
2023-07-07 11:57:01 +0000 UTCSolid points, but you can pick apart most any plot, especially these days. I’m not sure a studio would allow a completely thought out film anyway.
Andrew Hogan
2023-07-07 11:55:08 +0000 UTCYep, made the same comment.
Andrew Hogan
2023-07-07 11:52:37 +0000 UTCThis was a really solid film. If you thought Javier Bardeen was creepy in this, check out No Country For Old Men, which you’ll either love or hate.
Andrew Hogan
2023-07-07 11:51:52 +0000 UTCI'm guessing Cassie's comment about Javier is because she has seen "Eat Pray Love"? 🙇 NCFOM is a definite must!
Robin Craft
2023-07-07 11:36:51 +0000 UTC"Not her best song". Hah, well, it did win an Oscar, so... This is, for my money, the very best Bond film. It grounds the whole franchise in reality. It gives James a bit of a backstory (more on that later), it has a villain that is absolutely realistic. This villain makes you actually think of the realities of espionage field work, the betrayals that are necessary, the grimy guts of it all. Plus, new (brilliant and active) Q, the surprise sting of Moneypenny, Voldemort being a genuinely good dude and the new M. The death of Judy Dench's M really hit hard, too. Just an excellent film overall. The next two are... satisfying.
Ian from wine country
2023-07-07 10:41:46 +0000 UTCWell, I guess if you have to believe the entire plan was set forth in advance... Then there are loads of plot holes. But if you look at it all as though Silva was constantly monitoring everything and adjusting his plans on the fly, in order to get face to face with M... Then it is all a little less outlandish.
Jon Johns
2023-07-07 10:40:17 +0000 UTCI wouldn't read the comment section in that case.

Thoko
2023-07-07 10:34:31 +0000 UTCCassie, although we know that bond cannot die before the opening credits, I think that kind of plot development is to gauge how the other characters react, it's not to give us pause, it's to measure relationships, and character. Also, Moderator duties --> I am preparing for all the glove / no glove comments. 😂

2023-07-07 10:24:12 +0000 UTCNice! Though I'm not to big on the Daniel Craig Bond films, I still need to see Spectre and No Time To Die, but Skyfall was probably my favorite of the Daniel Craig ones so far! Glad to hear you liked this one, hope Carly did too! You think Javier Bardem is creepy as a villain in this movie, you should see him in his Oscar winning role in No Country For Old Men, his performance in that movie will make your hair stand on edge lol! Once again I gotta say, I'm so happy and relieved Ben is doing well! I'm glad my prayers and many others who prayed helped him out big time! But really, I think it was your love for him that really helped him out the most! I might watch this at some point, I don't know when exactly, cause it's possibly the longest Bond film I've ever seen, so when I get a chance I'll watch your reaction to it, oh and BTW the new Moneypenny in this film is Naomie Harris, you would recognize her from Pirates of the Caribbean, she played Tia Dalma the shaman priestess/Goddess Calypso in Dead Man's Chest and At World's End, thought I'd pin point that lol! Take care Cassie, glad Ben is doing okay, can't wait for your next reaction, love and support always, you and Carly are the best, and as always [snaps fingers & winks] stay classy Cassie🥰😁😉👍🌹

2023-07-07 08:04:59 +0000 UTCApparently Ralph Fiennes (New M A.k.a Voldemort) was one of the actors who auditioned for Bond in the 90's but was beaten by Brosnanman. One of his best movies worth watching is The English Patient. Have to also go with the previous recommendation of No country for Old Men with Bardem. Great Movie. Funny you've got Dantes Peak and Skyfall. Back to Back Bonds!

2023-07-07 06:51:20 +0000 UTCI was blown away by this movie when I saw it in the theatre. It was my first time watching 007 on the big screen and I loved it. Right then I've also considered it to be the best yet. Now I think this is a movie that works best during first watch when you let the plot just carry you with it. But after watching it again, you start noticing its flaws and inconsistencies. Unlike Casino Royale, which is equally good if not better with every rewatch. Still a great one and consider it among my top 5-ish (on second thought maybe only 5-10) on my Bond list. I had some hopes to begin with regarding this reaction and Cassie's recent remark during Die Hard 3 about liking a good villain with a plan just made me even more excited. Can't wait to get home tonight to watch this one. 😀

2023-07-07 06:34:03 +0000 UTCThis was a huge hit but I’ve always had slightly mixed feelings about it. I thought it was a great movie, I’ve just never been convinced it’s a great Bond movie (if that makes any sense). Perhaps Bond does Home Alone was a bridge too far for me. That said I loved the way they reintroduced the old characters. This is probably the one ‘stand alone’ movie Craig did. The timeline is odd compared to the others. He goes from being a new 00 agent to a has been in one movie. Despite the above, I always enjoy, it but it doesn’t quite make my top tier Bond movie list.

2023-07-07 06:27:14 +0000 UTCOne of my favorite Bond movies. The director originally wanted Sean Connery to play the old guy in the Skyfall house.

2023-07-07 06:26:30 +0000 UTCI am not sure if the Mum was deliberate, but I am fairly certain it is just an English guy pronouncing the abbreviated version of Madam (Mam) in a typical English accent . So glad I have something to watch for the start of the weekend in good company.

2023-07-07 05:59:30 +0000 UTCWhat about Silvia’s plan being entirely based on pure luck and it doesn’t make sense. He does all these intricate things that rely on pure chance in order to get arrested to escape and then kill m in the hearing. Why not just blow up her car. I guess I know why, cause the dark knight came out before this and the James Bond films tend to just rip off what’s popular at the time. Just saying casino royale is better in every way though this is still entertaining if you turn your brain off.

2023-07-07 05:52:29 +0000 UTCI love this one (as I love all Craig's Bonds), but it has the most infuriating plot hole. If Casino Royale was a reboot, then how does Bond have the Goldfinger DB5? Yes, he won a similar car in CR, but I'm pretty sure it was gadget-free. Anyhoo, minor quibble, this film is amazing. The gritty Home Alone sequel we never knew we needed.

2023-07-07 05:43:31 +0000 UTCThis is for sure my favorite Bond movie. It's the first one that actually gives James Bond a backstory. I love how much the Daniel Craig Bond movies flesh out the character

2023-07-07 05:43:16 +0000 UTCYes! Been waiting for this one. My absolute favorite Bond film
