MINOR SKYFALL SPOILERS AHEAD

The third act saved the movie. Otherwise I would have put it below Quantum of Solace. Silva was an interesting villain, but we barely go to know him, and his motivations felt a little underdeveloped/rushed.

Really? I thought the third act was the worst part.

MAJOR SPOILERS

I think it would have been much better had the old bird died at the courthouse (or whatever it was) and the third act could have followed from there.

END MAJOR SPOILERS

SPOIIIIILERS

I guess I liked how the themes of old vs. new technology were realized in the third act. The "last stand" at Bond's childhood home was a nice change of pace from uber command world domination centers. And we got to see a different side of M. But I see your point and agree that could have been interesting, too. it seemed the whole point of the movie was to bring in Moneypenny (I didn't like how Eve was absent for the second half of the movie) and replace M. Basically, this movie did what QoS should have done.

NO MORE SPOILERS

Either way, it was a good movie, but not very memorable.
