Are Skyfall and/or Spectre any good? I ditched the franchise after my brother and I watched Quantum of Solace and we both thought it was trash.

Quantum was the low point of Craigs run. Skyfall was great and SPECTRE had its moments. While I’ve seen hate for SPECTRE here, I believe the opening sequence is one of the best ever for a Bond intro. And No Time to Die is a must-watch.

I liked it. Nod to Silence of the Lambs. 

Agreed!

And this would have shown the troubled start he is still coping with if Joker was one of the foundational villains he had to take down.

So...Scott Mendelson wrote ~800 words about why "The Batman Never Had to Top $1 billion."

What does a Power Lifter know about batman films?

I treated myself last night and purchased the 4K Daniel Craig quad James Bond collection.

Which are your top 5 Bond films?

Which two? My favorites are Casino Royale and No Time to Die.

I really like Skyfall (aside from Bond having sex with a former child slave right after she tells him she was a child slave). The rest are really hit and miss for me. I know Casino Royal gets a lot of love but I have way too many problems with the Mr White stuff and how it muddies what could be a more straight forward movie.

Skyfall is great. Of all the Craig Bond films, it's the one that can simply be popped in randomly, with no connection to other stuff and enjoyed like you'd enjoy any other bond film of the past 60 years.

Yeah, I like the opening in Spectre as well, except for that couch.

No Time to Die has a ton of stuff happen but I find the main villain stuff so bewildering. he looks the same age as Madeline Swan and yet was a grown man when he first meets her as a little girl. And I have no clue what his poison island and that acid lake has to do with the nanobots. I don't even know where he is sending the missiles to at the end and who he's targetting. Kinda sucks that he's the vllain who's ultimately responsible for Bond's demise.

 

Also....

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY @Bosco685!!!!!!!!

Based on what you guys are saying, it seems like I have to check Skyfall out. Is that the one with the Nazi from Inglorious Basterds? I may have caught some of it on TV before.

No, Skyfall is the one with Javier Bardem, the guy from No Country for Old Men. I think you'd like it, it has a bit that I think was taken directly from the Dark Knight. The one you referred to is Spectre. The problem with that one is that it does one of those retcons of "this was the plan all along" or "everything is connected" and it just does not work.

To anyone who watched all these movies, I think the scene I like the least in all of them combined is that part around the end of Spectre where Bond walks through a corridor and pics of all the people from the previous movies are jut pasted there. It's the laziest ploy at a "connection" I have ever seen.
