anyhoo, so i've watched this bond 2x so far and while i'll certainly watch it many more times, as it is very entertaining, it does deviate from the bond formula right? no gadgets? dang. re-introducing the db5 from goldfinger doesn't really count.

and the new q certainly didn't make a fancy introduction, especially letting his computer getting hacked.

I also wasn't sure about the gay innuendo going on between silva and bond....javier could have played the villian closer to the vest, imo..or just left that out as he actually does a good job overall.

it also has a couple of serious blunders, but that's never gotten in the way of a good bond flick before so i hope they don't here either.

it seemed weird to me too that they portray bond as close to done, perhaps i am worried the franchise is coming to an end. although that is maybe something a good trip to a weekend spa bond can sort out ;-)


just thinking out loud..........i did queue up goldfinger and watch it after watching skyfall the 2nd time and it certainly stands the test of repeated viewings, i've watched it dozens of times. i hope skyfall does too.
if you read the books bond is 'shot out' in some of them by the experiences of doing what he does... and in the book the character is very cold blooded from what I remember.. to me Craig plays the character closer to the books than the other bonds... and after the first bond flick the 'bonds' were based on then film, that not the book....

like porn portrayals are all based on a TV writers experience of watching a TV show written by a guy that saw a TV show etc ect ect...

and at this point I'm not sure what I think about skyfall other than 'wow!!! what a great looking film...' and I loved the villain... so unusual looking..
