Everything GREAT About Skyfall!

I always thought the "waste of good scotch" line was him suppressing his emotions so that he could move on as quickly as possible.

I think Adele singing the theme song should be just like 25 wins 😂

Skyfall was such a great movie, I can't wait to watch No Time To Die

I love that this movie doesn’t have a main “Bond girl”. In some way M is the “Bond girl” of skyfall and she might be the best one

Even with more recent action movies raising the bar, Skyfall holds up so damn well as a solid action movie. If this came out today, we’d still be equally impressed

Idk I feel the „waste of good scotch“ was Bond trying his hardest to not seem affected, but he clearly is

Fun Fact: One of my college teachers and her husband worked on this film among a dozen other Hollywood films. She said that this film was by far her favourite film to work on as everyone she met on and off set were just lovely to work with and were really passionate about filming what I like to call the benchmark for all James Bond films to live up to, only No Time to Die and Casino Royale surpass this film in my opinion.

Bardem as Silva is THE quintessential Bond villain. No conversation to be had. He’s deep and complex, strangely charismatic while remaining terrifying and cold. Has to be one of the best castings of all time.

So, point ot intrest: a lot of people might hear the name "the troubles" and think it doesn't sound that bad. Then you remember that the Irish name for WW2 was "the emergency". The Troubles was absolutely brutal. Even at the exact opposite end of the country people would be legitimately scared about what was happening up there.

It always bothered me that M never mentions how Bond breaks into her house again even after she warns him to never do it again in Casino Royale

Why is this being recommended 2 years later?

There's just something I have trouble putting into words, about how great the sound effect of the single gunshot when Moneypenny shoots Bond on the train. For a movie/series that has so much gunfire, there's just something so visceral, so impactful, about that one single shot.

My personal favorite bond movie. That entire last act is masterful - the premise, the cinematography, everything

Lee, I think every thing that Bond does can be called an "interesting choice". Just like in Casino Royale, jumping onto a construction crane is an "interesting choice".

I truly love how there are long stretches of silence in this film. It fits so well and builds tension

The cinimatic precision of this movie and how beautifully shot each scene in this movie provides, placed it amongst my top five favorite movies of all time. It's a truly spectacular bond flick.

"Which farm animals your favourite?" "Macau" Damn you CinemaWins I spit my iced tea all over my keyboard!

Fun fact: Adele wrote the title song 'Skyfall' with Paul Epworth when she'd finished reading the movie script, even drafting a few verses that were used in the final recording. And we all agree it's a win ding

Skyfall was probably my favorite out of the Craig Bond pentology. All the actors are top notch, the additional screen time with Bond and M together was deserved and welcomed, and the opening credits music is just astounding. Seriously, I have not stopped listening to "Skyfall" by Adele for months now. Incredible film.

10:25 i feel the colour is specifically used to show bonds own talent, a major theme of the film is old vs new with bardems character focusing on the modern world breaking apart the old world of M’s ideal. the blue in shanghai is modern and futuristic and bond messes up, the assassination goes through and he drops patrice without finding out his boss. then in macau it goes to the old bond, casinos, shaken not stirred and going more into the ‘bond girl’ and he manages to pull off what he needs to. great cinematography in the colouring of it all.
