Skyfall

I loved it. I was literally on the edge of my seat the entire movie, and my theater has new seats, so it was not due to the seats themselves. It was exciting, with just enough humor to get by without getting corny. The 50th anniversary shout outs cause some continuity issues, and I didn't care for having Craig's 3rd movie already talking like he's super-old and should retire. I did like how they touch on his childhood without spelling things out or having flashbacks. The action sequences were great, the villain was creepy if a little one-dimensional. I love the new Q, though we could use a little more gadgetry.

I don't understand why Bond sleeps with every woman he sees, I know it's "Bond", but his motivations are always so flimsy. [MINOR SPOILER]I really didn't like the he called the one lady out as being a child sex slave who is obviously still suffering from it, then sleeps with her an hour later.[/MINOR SPOILER]

I also think its safe to open with the gun-barrel now, it's been three movies, he's earned it.

I'm glad there's going to be more, though I do hope for just a smidge more gadget. It doesn't have to be super realistic.
