Haven't felt that amount of hype since TDKR!

Both films were hyped, and both didn't live up to it.

Saw Skyfall during the Sunday that past and hate me if you want, but I thought it wasn't that great. I was bored during certain scenes and the plot wasn't that interesting. Seriously?? Skyfall wasn't a BIG deal like they made it out to be in the trailers and if you take our a line of dialogue and change the location of the finale, it could've been called 007 Rises for all I cared.

The shots were great and extradionary in IMAX but the action was never heart-pounding. It felt like the script wasn't even finished and was for a different 007 film unpresented in this. Speaking of the script, it's essentially The Dark Knight Rises… And definitely done better. Bond in a lot of ways was a mixture between Max Payne and Bruce Wayne. Having been drinking in a slow depressed-type state while being broken and having to rise up and take down the villian wanting to destroy his agency.

Actors were great and Javier Bordam was perfect, wishing the film was more of him. Saying that, his motivations weren't that compelling nor interesting. And the hell?? You're an agent of MI6 wanting to kill your handler because you were being tortured because again, you're an MI6 agent? Whatever.

The soundtrack… I don't have much to say about this since I don't even remember a particular track. Perhaps one from the trailer, but that doesn't count.

Tried to love this film, but sadly couldn't. It never passes the bar Casino Royale set, feeling like an unworthy successor in a lot of ways. While in everyway better than Quantum of Solace, it's certainly not the best that Bond has to offer.
