... And you still gave it a 3!
Was your guide dog eating the popcorn off your lap again?

Finally got round to seeing it - worth watching, with maybe some continuity points to watch.

But who gave the villain's pilot a Merlin type rating? Surely it must have taken months to do the paperwork? :) Did he have to queue up at the Belgrano like everyone else?

I remember cringing in Goldeneye when the EC Tiger lands and we get to hear the unmistakeable sound of a RR Pegasus throttling down.

Skyfall
 
Just saw it again on Sky, who had the pleasure of flying the AW in the making of the film? Guess might be on a previous thread?

I don't know if your question was answered before but there are two threads were you can find info about it:

The movie raked in the bucks because of a truck load of hype (ie. crass advertising) and the movie itself was total !!!!e. :yuk:

Steady tiger lol! I'm not a film critic, merely asked about the AW.

Actually thought the film was ok, it is a Bond film after all!

Anthony,

Plenty of hype can get you a realy good opening weekend, but the film has to have "legs" to make the kind of money it did (far more than anyone, even those who made it, expected).

There are lots of cases of heavily promoted films that opened big then collapsed.

Then, there's "Fast and Furious (insert number here). [sigh]

Dreadful film, massively over the top and beyond the wildest imagination. Just an excuse to go CAD/CGI mad! Dreadful dreadful film.

massively over the top and beyond the wildest imagination.
Well, you can say that for all Bond films. Still enjoyable though.
