I really, honestly wish I liked this movie.

Rating: 4/10 (11 November 2012)

I am a HUGE James Bond fan. There hasn't been a single Bond movie that I haven't liked, from Dr. No straight through to Quantum of Solace. All of them have had their place, even if they weren't my favorite of the franchise. Daniel Craig has become my favorite Bond of all of them. He brings real energy, dimension and heart to the role. I loved Casino Royale (I actually think it's my favorite of all the movies), and I really liked Quantum Of Solace. I was really, really looking forward to Skyfall, but wound up being sorely disappointed. So many plot holes, unexplained outrageous happenings, cheesy moments, *witty* banter lines that wound up flat-lining and a reversal in evolution for the Bond character, that I wound up leaving the theater feeling extremely disgruntled.
There were a few things I did like about the movie, including Ralph Fiennes' character, and how he was brought in. I liked learning about Bond's past a little bit, and I loved the Astin Martin.
I'm glad the movie is doing well, and I'm glad that many people seem to be liking it. But for me, it seriously missed the mark. Something ran amok, and I am sincerely hoping that the next one is better.
