Superb film as well as best bond film

You can buy a collection of the blu rays for about £50 (minus Spectre). Old reviews from the collection previously listed on the Apple Store suggest they used sell this for roughly the same price but then doubled it. Now they no longer offer the collection and want roughly £9 for each film!!!!! I have no idea what the distribution company is playing at but this pricing is absolutely insane and is stopping me from purchasing these films. Avoid until the price drops or just buy the hard copy.

Probably the best bond film in years

The Bond franchise rescues itself from the atrocities of Quantum. Brilliant performance from Daniel Craig, stunning locations and action - plus a plot we can actually understand. Always a good thing.

It's nice to see they're echoing back to the original Bond more, with Moneypenny and Q. It makes it a better film overall. Granted, Skyfall is not perfect but it's a worthwhile watch.

Great movie

This must rate as the best Bond movie of all time. Magnificient!!

I am so looking forward to Spectre which if it is as good as this will be an all time high....

I really enjoyed this film. If you like action and adventure films than you should watch this. I personally think the new one is better though

I never write reviews, but I had to balance out some of the great reviews for this film. I am not a James Bond fan, and it has been years since I watched a Bond Film. My wife suggested we watch it as it promised to be modern and engaging. We expected something innovative and plausible (I know its a high expectation).

But oh dear. Pastiche, predictable and weak. It seems like old guard have got hold of Bond as a formula and will not let go, under any circumstances. So its the same old lines, the same old antiquated language of innuendo. And whats worse is the same scant disregard that its all impossible. The kind of things they were doing made no sense in the real world and I do believe these guys have been left behind…We are in 2015 now guys!

And as for the idiotic propaganda half way through about the enemy within, its banal and idiotic.

You really have to be a Bond fan to tolerate this garbage..And to you its great. To the rest of us its puerile. If you are not a Bond fan, be warned..My apologies for kicking off but it got under my skin..

There are two James Bonds. There is the literary character created by Ian Fleming, and the film version kicked off by Sean Connery in Dr. No in 1962. The literary character has always been the more fascinating. Book-Bond is not some oversexed, tuxedoed, martini swilling superhero with a quip for every occasion, but a blunt instrument of the British government - a hired killed on the side of the alleged “good guys”, who is frequently beset by moral doubt about his profession. While many people think Connery was the definitive Bond, Fleming thought he was ‘a thousand miles from my idea of James Bond”. I agree. And for me, Daniel Craig embodies Fleming’s Bond like no one before him. That makes his three films (to date) the best of the series for me - and Skyfall is the best of the trio. It is fast, furious thriller in which the people and the emotions matter just as much as the action. Skyfall peels back the layers of the Bond character, but not in a pretentious way. It both celebrates the series and redefines it. Intelligent blockbusters like this are very rare beasts indeed. It is a triumph on every level.

Skyfall is not a great film it is one of the worst bond films . I thought it was going to be great but I was wrong .

The worst of the new Bond films. The villain was terrible and very unlikely. So too the girl. The ending was awful. The journey to it dire. The theme tune however was great and the best song in years. Badly written plot.

Not the best 007 film, not classic as gold finger or casino royal and not a 007 plot. Although, it is still a decent film,not at all the worst bond film,one of the best bond songs and villains. It was very disappointing though.

Amazing film but a 4 star because the credits at the beginning were too long and didnt make sense so.Who cares its just a awesome film.Buy it.You will probably love it

You wait along time for a stand out timeless Bond classic, and what a wait it has been for Skyfall. This will stand out in history with Goldfinger as being iconic Bond. Also what a way to celebrate 50 years of Bond, thankfully the producers learnt from the over indulgent in-movie celebration they did for the 40th in DAD and went onto make a classic Bond movie with a modern and unique feel to it. It was said that Connery was in mind for the Scottish games keeper role, but despite that being a dream coop and nice way to celebrate the 50th, it would of knocked a little of the good work the rest of the film does. Its also good to have a weird and evil villain again especially after the tame ones in previous outings. As for the Bond girls, Dame Judi is one of the best (she would of fitted in nicely with Moore in AVTAK) and offscreen you’ve got Adele’s killer theme tune, reminiscent of the 60’s themes. The future now looks promising for Bond after this, i doubt any films soon will reach these heights of box office records, but they will be brilliant as we’ve got a new M, Q, Moneypenny and Craig still has a couple of more outings left before we go searching for new talent again…JamesBland will Return

An all round incredible entry to the longest running film series in history.

Craig's third outing does not disappoint. Directed by Sam Mendez, the twenty third Bond film has all the elements that we have come to expect from this re-booted franchise with the film being primarily set for the first time in the UK.

The cast is superb with Javier Bardem's performance as the villain being one of the greatest, hell-bent on revenge against Dame Judi Dench's M.

A fantastic nod to the fans provided by the sixth appearance of the iconic Aston Martin DB5 in all its original glory which we have not seen since 1964s Goldfinger.

Fleming, Broccoli and Saltzman would be proud.

Best film ever

Loved the film at the cinema, but Is iTunes going to offer this in HD in the 21st century. I love apple, but starting to find their total control over everything they sell & make, boring and suffocating..

I know people praise this film but I just found it awful. Maybe it's because I like the classics and some fun, But where was the TOPICAL places!

I like seeing some beaches, jungles, deserts e.t.c

It was just set in London City then some country house in Scotland. The story just seemed to be dragging, it needed a faster pace.

For me too I need some good one liners and some comedy!

😒 😭😭😭😭 😒

I really enjoyed the film but why is not available in HD?

Ok. I accept that this was a setting up certain things and I found it very enjoyable overall and appreciated the attempt to be a little different to the usual formula. However …

What kind of computer ‘expert’ plugs a master criminals laptop into their production network. He’s clearly an idiot and he’s supposed to know what he’s doing and the whole plot hinges on the assumption that this will happen. Seriously?! At that point I couldn’t suspend my disbelief anymore which is a shame because the film is excellent in many respects. Of the three Daniel Craig films I think it’s the least worthy.

I couldn't wait to watch this movie but when I saw it I was very diss pointed with this movie it's not like the other bond movies at all and the fight scenes were rubbish not for me

Best bond ever a must buy film I've watched it about 10 times and each time it gets better 5 star.

Going in with the high expectations fit for any Bond film, I found this to be a complete and enjoyable drama, if a bit too predictable and left me ultimately feeling a bit flat. I remain somewhat conflicted when trying to consider this as a Bond film as it didnt tick the usual boxes one would expect. In short I do think that the script was the main flaw and Casino Royal, although very different from the older Bonds still remains well ahead of the three Craig Bonds.

The third episode of the re-booted 007 franchise, Skyfall is the darkest of them yet. Little confused by the title until we learn what it is late on in the film, which has very little to do with the actual plot. Still, it intrigued me enough to make me watch it so it did its job I guess.

Great acting of course from all those involved. What would you expect from a director like Sam Mendes, and the film sees the welcome return of two central characters that have been greatly missed: Miss Moneypenny and Q. Both are more three dimensional in this film than they have perhaps been in the past, when they provided the light relief to quite often a fast paced action adventure. The new Miss Moneypenny and Q are still lighter than those around them but their comedic role is much less stated too. Skyfall is Drama with just a hint of comedy. Very British humour, dry and understated.

What I like about the rebooted version of 007 is that it relies less on big, over the top sets to carry the story, like a volcano that doubles up as a rocket launch facility or vast underground complexes that are supposed to be secret, even from the host country? The escapism has been more believable, to me at least, because it is based more in how we live our lives now. Long may this new franchise continue.

Skyfall is Dame Judy's swan song as M and I've been left wondering if there wasn't a kind of love between Bond and Dench's M that could not have occurred between the two characters in the past. Anyway, watch it make your own mind up.

Ahh so Bond is Scottish. I wonder which way he'll be voting in the referendum ?? This film has some truly terrible lines, silly put on accents and a villain from Batman. What it doesn't have is a plot, suspense or anything resembling chemistry between Bond and the leading ladies. It loses any momentum it may have initially built up through it's overly long and very dull middle period and is cringingly unfunny ... That said, it does boast one of the most emotive scenes since Mr Hanky died in South Park - it'll have you in tears. If this is the best Bond film ever, I don't think I'll be rushing off to watch the others.

Amazing.

Absolutely amazing everything about this film went above and beyond, stunning visuals epic fights and epic sound, if you have surround sound you can truly appreciate this film absolutely amazing.... Now to check out the extras

This film is a must see! One of the best bond films, perhaps THE best, and brings a breath of fresh air to James Bond. It's brilliantly written, directed and acted. Full of action, suspense and even humour just like the original bond films. Enjoy!

The best thing in the world I would rather be Watch this than be king

I was really looking forward to Skyfall after Casino Royale and Solace. However sitting through this in the cinema I was completely uninterested. I found the story rather dull, the movie was dragged out and characters lacked appeal. Some of the script was dreadful and the villain hyped up only to be let down. I won't go as far as saying this is an awful movie, it was just really lacking something the last two had.

I'm not sure what film other reviewers were watching, but Skyfall was just plain bad. In fact, I would go as far to say that it has to be one of the worst in years.

I've been a longtime bond fan, and have seen them all numerous times throughout my life. Skyfall I will probably avoid watching next time round.

Predictable

Boring

Stupid plot with big gaps

Cheesy in places

Only good thing I can say is that the actors made a bad script watchable, just, and once.

No. No. No.

Brilliant film. Has to be the best so far wish they could have made 1 this good before. Great acting from Daniel Craig, Judie Dench and all the other actors. Hope they make more like this

Same old, same old. Weak storyline.

I wasn't a huge fan if Daniel Craig being James Bond, but this film has completely changed my mind. It's everything that Bond film should be and more. Definitely taken Bond into the 21st Century, just wish there were a few more gadgets.

Skyfall is amazing

Daniel Craig at his best

Good story

Loveable characters

Not a fault with it

Great best yet

Best film ever in the history of the universe!!! 100000/10 5 star

2 and a bit hours of epicnessness!

But over all its a good film.

Best film I ever see when will there be sky fall 2? I really what to now what next.BEST FILM EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This felt more like watching a made-for-TV-movie, where the peril and visceral qualities of recent 007 movies and Craig's far more physical Bond had been censored for a pre-watershed audience.

It was evident where the budget had been cut and I'd agree the success of this movie has more to do with lack of competition on release, the departure of xxxx (spoilers), the rumours it would be the last Bond movie and the general love-in for all things British in 2012. More Bond movies with this tempo / lack of threat and Eon can kiss goodbye to the franchise.

Skyfall was meant to be the best Bond ever. Well It does have a great bad guy and a great song. But Bond was trying to copy the Dark knight trilogy and the the Bourne identity! And the story is not a Bond like story! This was not a good way to celebrate 50 years of Bond!!!

The story was fairly blah

Less is sometimes

More.

Shocking film not sure what film everyone is watching. Filming was bad, stuntmen and actors looked nothing like each other, lots of plot holes and mistakes. Return of the Jedi pit rip off, dark knight bad guy turned gay rip off, home alone ending rip off, Toy train crash effects, and just so boring plus turned M into a cow u wanted dead all the way through. How people say this is the best bond you need to watch the old ones again cause this is down there with Rodger moore's worst.

This has to be the best James Bond yet. The acting is brilliant. The story line is very good. And the acting is amazing. Also the bad guy is your classic bond evil genius.

Great I would recommend it to any one

I had sooooo longed to see this film after thououghly enjoying Daniel Craig as Bond but I just found myself rather bored and waiting for the action during this film. Such a shame! And I hear this might be his last one - lets hope not - but please give him some good material to work with next time!

Absolutely awesome! I love the blend of "old" & the "new".

a very frilling way to celebrate 50th anniversary filled with action pact, sad and shocking scenes. And my god best villain ever "you heard me Silver"!!!!!! :D

This is a great movie and a classic British film unlike the Bourne films which tried to to rip off the James bond franchise and the the typical brain dumb Americans gave the same initials JB, however they fail to capture a true thrill of a movie and struggle to understand decent humour, WHATCH THIS CLASSIC BRITISH JAMES BOND FILM!!!

i saw it in the cinema and was shocked by how the effects were so detailed and daniel craig is awesome

Best bond film ever! Best film of 2012. You can't miss this film!
