Ah yes, I know what you mean.

Although minds were blown with Eve. Would never have guessed.

HERE BE SECRETSShe was the greatest M ever, but thats because she was the first M that actually got more than just a few lines. She's a right fucker in GoldenEye too, and was really good in Tomorrow Never Dies. Really liked the younger Q too. Reminded me a little of Benedict Cumberbatch or whatever he's called. Dude who played Sherlock. Him.

HERE BE SECRETSyeah, I know exactly what you mean. His 'there goes my promising career on espionage' line was golden. Played the role with the perfect amount of confidence, too much and he would have come off as a right bellend, but he got it just right.

I decided to watch the Daniel Craig trilogy yesterday with my Godson/cousin. 6 hours.

Skyfall was great, same goes for Casino Royale. Quantum of Solace felt too Bourne Identity-esque. Damn camera was moving FUCKING EVERYWHERE in Quantum.

All 3 are choice films, but Quantum is probably on the bottom of the three.

HERE BE SECRETSI can't be the only one that enjoyed how the Javier Bardums character was such an engima for the first hour of Skyfall. There was this giant build up for a character that no one knew anything about and then he was something that was totally unexpected. I honestly didn't expect him to be so feminine, he was a creepy dude. The sexual tension between Craig and Bardum was crazy.

You weren't the only one. I spent an hour thinking this guy must be a badass, then he turns up and is all floaty and I was all WTF, then shit got so uncomfortable yet so awesome. And he's one of the few Bond villains I actually felt sorry for, with a slight pang of acceptance for what he was doing

HERE BE SECRETSWhen he says "This is what Hydrogen Cyanide does to you", takes his teeth out, puts them back in then starts half-laughing, half-crying. Fairly intense, and I was not expecting a scene like that in a Bond film.

I think where QoS was a reaction to Bourne's popularity, Skyfall is more of a reaction to stuff like The Dark Knight. When you think about it, it follows the same themes. Past turmoil, death, regret, anguish, retribution, and reconciling the past with the present and future.

Javier Bardem's Silva really is the Joker to Daniel Craig's Batman, aka Bond

I did not expect a Bond movie to be this good! I was interested in it but only saw it when it came out in Blu-Ray. What a surprise! It's the perfect balance between what makes older Bond movies great - that humour, the style, how British it is - with the more modern Daniel Craig violence and cool. I think he finally nailed down his take on Bond.
