James Bond: Skyfall (Post-release) (Spoilers - Don't hover over the title)

Saw this last night and did I get my moneys worth? Yes but I did not walk away thinking "oh wow". It never seemed to really climax.
 
I hoping for a review but instead i get a major spoiler in the first sentence. thanks
Sorry about that. I am partially to blame for the non-warning, the original thread title by the OP did mention spoilers in the title and about avoiding to hover on the title to escape spoilers in the opening message.

Most "post-release" threads here are now known to have spoilers even right from the get go and need to be avoided if not seen.
 
Are the the two Skyfall threads going to be eventually merged?
No, like with many movie threads the pre-release and post-release threads will remain separate.

I have now linked the pre-release thread on my post on page 1 in case anyone wants to look it up.

I was spoiled too when i checked the forum with the tapatalk app. I wasnt intending to open the thread, but even with the spoiler tags, the first sentence showed up in the preview line under the title. I was LIVID. :mad:

It made me even more upset after watching the film, because M's death really WAS the entire climax of the film. Ughhhhh.

With regards to the head of MI6 having a plethora of bodyguards. This simply isn't true. Security has more to do with anonymity than flotilla of armoured cars.
 
It's still not clear to me how Bond survived the sniper bullet and fall (and although we see his bullet wound from the assassin's semiauto hand gun I never saw where he was hit by Moneypenny) and how Silva escaped the X-Men/Avengers lucite prison of doom. :confused

There looked like a long scar above his collarbone over the one where the assassin hit him. He might have been grazed enough to knock him over the edge. And Q commented "Why are all the doors opening?" which made Bond realize that the supervillain cage would open to.
 
Loved the movie, but let me see if I understand something:

The shrapnel (it had a radioactive isotope and whaaa??? ) provides them a lead to a city and an assassin. (?) He gets there and someone (MI6?) texts him when the guy is flying in. He follows him and does not prevent him assassinating someone (who is never identified ?), because he wants to know who he's working for, and since it's obvious that the people in the room across the way were in on it, he knows if he sees any of them when cashing in the chip, they (the girl) are his way in.

Can anyone help me make that more clear?

I thought the actress did an excellent acting job of someone who's terrified and trying to hide it.

You've got it. Those bullets are apparently the trademark of a select few, they find their guy and find out where he's going to be. Bond goes there and gets his flight info from their source. He sneaks up on him and gets to him right after he's "made the shot" (I didn't see him as letting the guy get killed but rather not wanting to get caught so he went slow).
 
Patrice's location was provided to Mi6 by the CIA, and I was half expecting to see Felix meet up with Bond in Shanghai.
 
Dumb question for Bond heads - the DB5 is seen in the streets of london for a couple of seconds. Was that New Cross? It looked like it, and I heard something about the Aston being seen near Deptford.

I can't understand why they needed to hire an assassin to kill that guy in the other building.. EVERYONE except the the victim was in on the kill. They even helped clean up the room. Why do they don't just come in there with a gun and shoot him?

Perhaps the fellow is justifiably paranoid and has excellent security.

I kept waiting for Felix to show up as well, even in a cameo.
