Saw it about an hour ago, thought it was brilliant. The one-liners were pretty damn good and I thought the plot was brilliant as well. Miles better than Quantum of Solace (admittedly, not hard) and better than Casino Royale as well.
So... Skyfall, eh?

I went in with a low expectation after that god awful bond film that was Quantum of Solace. However I was pleasantly surprised, compelling plot, excellent acting and the final sequence was all kinds of awesome. I was a little bit disappointed at the 12A rating on the grounds that in made some of the brutal deaths either not brutal at all or off screen. I also found the non-Moneypenny Bond girl to be kind of pointless, but ah well. Overall it was pleasant to see an Bond villain that felt like a Bond villain, the fantastic one liners and the overall return to form.
Wow... seriously, wow.
I mean I got a lot of flak from my mates for calling Daniel Craig the worst Bond ever and Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace not even Bond films. But I have to say I am really glad to say, he's really good and it was clearly just the movies letting him down. The only criticism I could say is that the introduction of the baddy felt a bit disjointed, though it ultimately worked really well. It had all the things that have been missing from Bond films; decent chase sequences (running ones don't count), Britain, iconic bad guy, imposing bad guy lair, banter, a DB5 and most importantly FUN.
If you haven't seen it, DO.
Oh, and I know new Q kind of sucks but he has a Scrabble mug so I guess I can forgive him, even if he's awfully dismissive of exploding pens.
