Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Ivanrosario247 I have have a huge problem with this film which masquerades as a "Bond" movie. Apart from the opening credits it really was laughable. In every way. Bad guy=about as cliche as it gets. Script=please Judi Dench=annoying and unconvincing Plot line=shockingly cliche Where the hell did he get the Aston from with ejector seat?? Q tells him "we don't do that exploding pen thing anymore??? HE HASN'T DONE ALL THAT YET Aghhh 'frustrating mess. Don't get me started on the "Home alone" nonsense at the end. And remind me never to be so stupid to run around with a torch in a dark field when the bad guys are a stone throw away looking for me. Ending..still in shock how awful it was. "Casino Royale" was fantastic so how did this go so wrong? The lovers of this film??did you have a different version of it?
betty dalton This Bond is suited for arthouse movie lovers too! Anyone ofcourse can enjoy it, but this edition is very dear to me, because for the first time adults that love acting are taking seriously and the acting by Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes and Albert Finney is to be thanked for that. Topped with the brilliant direction by Sam Mendes.This Bond really went out of its way to make it something really special: it is RAW and REAL. And it has got story twists never seen before in any Bond in all of its history. Really, all cliches went out of the window and everything was up for grabs. Young viewers wont notice ofcourse, but for all those adults who have been watching Bond since the sixties or seventies, this edition is really unique and special.Some highlights: 1 One of the best Bond themes ever performed by the lovely Adele. 2 Photography by mutliple Oscar winner Roger Deakins 3 The return of the greatest bond car ever: the old and glorious aston martin DB5 All in all this Bond has got a feel to it none of all the other modern Bond editions ever have had. The fighting spirit of this movie breathes the energy that it could have been the last Bond ever made. It wasnt the last, but it was one of the very best, if not the best modern Bond ever!
cinemajesty Movie Review: "007: Skyfall"Being in good hands at Columbia Pictures and slowly-recovering Hollywood studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Eon Productions Ltd. represented by producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson strikes the fine line of action and drama with Bond Production 23, engaging Academy-Award-Winning Director Sam Mendes to fulfill the 50th anniversary of the 007 movie series, sharing twists of suspense and elegantly-shot action sequences by cinematographer Roger Deakins, at age 62, with another original screenplay by Robert Wade & Neal Purvis, who get supported by screenwriter John Logan, known for the polished script of "Gladiator" (2000), based on Ian Fleming's life-time creation of the character of James Bond, performed by actor Daniel Craig in full range-playing bestform."Skyfall" builds a dramatized relationship between "007" and the MI6-agent's superior "M", portrayed for the seventh times since 1995 by Dame Judi Dench, who together with the leading man delivers an humanized as emotional journey of loss with respect to fallen, believed-dead spies in an high-precision driving pre-title sequence with a traditional chase sequence from a hotel room over Istanbul's streets by car and motorcycle with field action support by the character of Miss Moneypenny, here in an expanding coverage performance by actress Naomi Harris, who follows 007 to his train boarding towards a spectacular roof top fight with the train's full acceleration, when plot surprises sends the audience into a mysterious main-title-sequence with Bond looking, searching, digging and shooting himself into the past of a forfeited childhood under the nerve-striking vocals of singer Adele, setting the tone to one of the best 007 movies since "GoldenEye" (1995), establishing high-profile motion picture quality entertainment for any thriller-indulging audience.After tension losses with "Quantum of Solace" in season 2008/2009, this Bond movie presents itself in a total Zeitgeist fashion of Fall 2012 and beyond, standing strong and compact in its 135 Minutes editorial cut by Stuart Baird, who makes use of Roger Deakins' remarkable use of color, symmetry and long camera takes in the first ever fully-digital-received visual works for a 007 movie.

punkd_rapha Skyfall celebrates a long running franchise that spans 50 years and staples itself as one of the best so far. After the misfire that was Quantum of Solace, Bond is back in a form we haven't quite seen before. Director Sam Mendes anchors a brilliant script and adds meaning to what was previously a character without much layers. Mendes doesn't shy away from giving us a splendid variation of visual flairs, making this Bond the most aesthetic yet. This time around we see 007 face his own vulnerabilities after having been accidentally shot down by his own team. Bond retires the life of espionage, inducing himself in alcohol, with no purpose, only to be brought back by a mysterious hacker who has targeted MI6, more precisely, M herself. After a rigorous regime to get James back in shape, the agent is back as he tracks down this new threat. Enter the villain. With a superb one shot introduction, we meet Javier Bardem's Silva, a blond haired, weirdly camp and psychotic-in-a-fun way villain that delivers right from the start with a monologue that couldn't be better written for him to chew off. Him and Bond bounce back and forth like a pro tennis match, each trying to gage the other, Silva sometimes sexually. This is where protagonist meets antagonist in a perfect symbiosis. The action remains thrilling, relying in more realistic sequences rather than bombastic set pieces often seen in the Pierce Brosnan era. One sequence especially serves as Bond's best hand to hand combat. The Bond girl here is Judi Dench, as she owns the role one last time. She is as much a Bond girl as he is M's guy. The relationship between Bond and M almost mirrors one of a lost son and a mother without one. All in all, Skyfall delivers in almost all fronts. Sam Mendes has crafted a beautiful, intelligent and relevant film that brings James Bond back as one of the most iconic spies of all time.
