Saw the movie, thought it was fair. 3.5 out of 5 stars.
*SPOILER ALERT*
Did anyone else notice that Bond utterly failed every single mission he was given in this movie and the bad guy got exactly what he wanted?
Retrieve the HDD: Failed - He was shot by his own support.
Pass a Fitness For Duty Evaluation: Failed - M pulled a lot of strings to get him approved.
Interrogate the Assasin: Failed - He killed him before getting any questions answered. It was only by pure luck that he happened across a clue that let him later fall into the villian's trap.
Stop the HDD From Being Decrypted: Failed - Names of NATO agents were released on the web.
Capture the Villian: Failed - (Actually tricked into thinking he'd succeeded and playing right into the bad guy's hands--even worse! I thought 00's were supposed to be clever spies who can smell traps.)
Protect M: Failed - She was killed by the villian despite Bond having hours to prepare and fighting on his (literally) home turf.
Recapture the Villian - Failed. Bond killed him; which is what he wanted--to die along with M. Instead he died a few seconds before M.
Based on his performance in this movie, 007 should be fired.

Agreed,
I'll probably draw fire from MI6 but I wasn't overly impressed with SkyFall. I mean it had some interesting parts, a little Bond family history for example. Anyhow, I still suggest the movie for th simple fact that it still has explosions and fighting and Bond girls.
It was a very different James Bond film to any I have seen before. As said, everything he touched in this movie was a fail. I enjoyed it very much, he was portrayed much more as man instead of superman.

And that is what I liked about this film. Superman is boring. I like the flaws. It made Bond more interesting.
I saw this yesterday, and was entertained by it. I do miss the comic dialogue of the old movies and there wasn't much of that here, but overall I thought the story moved along quickly. i give it a 7 out of 10.
I did not like Bardems's character. He was too much of a caricature, almost cartonish. He would have been perfect 30-40 years ago (the Roger Moore era), though.
Casino Royale is still the ultimate modern Bond movie.
Just saw it, and liked it very much. Enjoyed most of the action, unlike in the previous Bond movie. Also loved the references to previous Bond movies (car, exploding pen).
