Just finished watching it. Quite enjoyed it, though I admit the setup to the last act was pretty  swamp poop. I liked the little nods to the fanbase throughout, and thought it was appropriate that Craig not stray too far from the morose character of the last two. How he used the girl, and her very predictable fate, worked for me in establishing Bond's misogyny, and general indifference to human life. So did the scene where he waits until after the sniper takes his shot - because it was more convenient.

I hated QoS, and Skyfall confirmed why - a good Bond movie needs a really good villain.

After reading this thread I was going to jump on Eldaec for his crappy opinions, but then I saw he ranked From Russia with Love as his number one and for that I forgive all the rest. Even the Dalton love.

Just saw it, without reading any spoilers or reviews beforehand. Then browsed the thread and found that the perfect summary had already been posted. So, QFT:

I thought the first half was great, but that poem onwards it wasn't a bond anymore and sucked.

Also the plot was even more absurd than any of the otherwise recent ones, which is saying something!

I thought the first 5 minutes and the last five minutes were good.

Eager for it to start and then eager for it to end?  Ohhhhh, I see.

Yeah, this was rather boring.
