My joint favourite Bond movies are Goldeneye & Casino Royale...both directed by Martin Campbell. I enjoyed QOS and Skyfall but feel Skyfall is cripplingly overrated. Fiona & Myself watched all 3 back to back last Christmas and we both agreed Casino Royale is the best of the 3 by a large margin. I of course am looking forward to Spectre and hope it is closer in quality to Casino Royale than Skyfall. Skyfall was really fun to watch in theaters, but I've tried 3 different times since then to watch it at home and I never make it through.

Skyfall reliance on constant nods to former movies, underused villain, gaping plot holes, and a terrible 4th act make it overrated. I hope the new one is more like casino royal.

A big plot hole nobody seems to bring up when discussing Skyfall is the fact that everyone refers to Bond as an old man and past his prime when this is suppose to be early in his career. Casino Royal and QOS were his first missions and how he gained his double-0 status. Skyfall is supposedly not long after these as the end of the movie sets up his "routine" MI6 day (gets called to the office, chats with Monneypenny, gets his mission from M, and then sees Q for his gadgets).
However, everyone in this movie treats Bond like hes already the cold-hearted, broken man we see in the Connery-Brosnan movies. They act like he's been around forever and don't seem to care if he ever returned from his "death." This is punctuated by a younger Q making old man quips to him throughout there screen time together(and making Q much younger than Bond was a terrible mistake IMO and ruins the dynamic between the two).
I understand there is a 4 year gap between the release of QOS and Skyfall but it seems like they flashed forward over a decade between the movies with the way they treated Bond. Its like they skipped over a bunch of movies that should have taken place between the two.

Here's the first trailer.
It looks pretty good.
Might as well make this the official thread for 'Spectre' as well.
