After the disappointing Quantum of Solace the Bond franchise really needed to get back to Casino Royale form again and from the reviews it appears that Skyfall more than delivered. As I expected, there are basically no Bond fans on blogger but here are the links to my reviews from the last two days.
After such stellar reviews for Skyfall, it seems that Bond has crushed Bourne this year. Also with all the amazing movies this year like The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, The Amazing Spider-Man and The Hobbit coming later this year, could 2012 be the best year ever in films? So far, so good.
Chris Stuckmann: A+: Stuckmann said Skyfall is one of the best films of the year and is one of only 16 movies to receive that rating.
Rotten Tomatoes: 93%: Rotten Tomatoes' reviews are holding steady at a an excellent 93%.
"Sam Mendes brings Bond surging back with a smart, sexy, riveting action thriller that qualifies as one of the best 007 films to date."
IGN: 9.0/10: IGN.com is not the best review website because of they are not consistent with their reviews, however from all the other reviews Skyfall seems to be a fantastic film. IGN even suggested that it might be the best Bond outing.
Schmoes Know: 4.5/5: Although they did not enjoy it as much as Casino Royale, they did say that Bond was to form after the disappointing Quantum of Solace.

I just saw this one myself. I have to say, it surpassed my expectations.
ReplyDeleteHard to believe it could live up to the already high praise, as you pointed out, but it does.
I have not seen it yet, but I am a very big Bond fan.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any Bond films yet, but I plan on to. Glad the movie has been getting good reviews, hopefully it will live up to expectations and you will like it :)
ReplyDeleteI agree, a lot of good movies have been released this year :)
