A good film, but not great IMO. A concoction of scenes from various films: Bourne, Batman, I even had 'Home Alone' and 'Hagrid' flashbacks during the Skyfall scenes and the 'Silence of the Lambs' glass cell would have worked if it was a bit more tongue in cheek

Maybe I'm getting old too, but going from dusk to midnight in 3 seconds? And why didn't Bond shoot the baddies with his machine gun as they walked from the Merlin towards Skyfall? Why did Kincaid and M use a zillion candle power torch to get to the chapel when they knew Silva was after them?!

Anyway, Craig is the best Bond since Connery (apparently, he's already signed up for two more) and although I miss the gadgets (only a PLB?!) and the corny seduction scenes, I'd still recommend it. Maybe more helicopters in the next one
