Skyfall

[El Dingo]

I haven't seen it yet (not released on Blu-Ray) but I have low expectations.

The later movies seem to lack the personality of the earlier movies.

'Goldfinger' was the 'fat guy with cat one' ("No Mr. Bond I expect you to die")
'Thunderball' was the underwater one
'The Man with the Golden Gun' was the three-nippled gold Autobot gun one.
'Diamonds are Forever' was the Moonbuggy one
'Live and Let Die' was the Mardi Gras one.
'Moonraker' was the Space station one
'The Spy Who Loved Me' was the underwater car one.

The later ones 'From a View to a Kill' to present are cliched action films. Entertaining but without the over-the-top comic-book style with Oddjob and Jaws villains, zany gadgets and ridiculous British-flag parachutes that told the audience they were in for a good time. I've seen them, but could not tell you who the key villains and plot details were on any of these.



Offered the choice between the latest Jason Stratham film and the new Bond movie I would take "Stratham, ...Mr. Stratham" over Skyfall.
