Amazon Fires 'Neo-Nazi' Guards In Germany

news.sky.com/story/1053720/amazon-fires-...zi-guards-in-germany

Skyfall? I really don't get it. I'd avoided Bond movies for years, but the hype over this got me curious. I wish I hadn't bothered. I dozed off before the end. Daniel Craig looks like the 'Before' of a Senokot advert. And Judi Dench must be one of the most over-rated actors around. I wish they'd film a Bond story set in the period in which it was actually written - that would finally force them to concentrate on telling a story rather than just choreograph some yawn-tastic action scenes.

This one was!

And is the biggest grossing British movie, ever - the 7th worldwide.

With takings of $1b so far, the movie must be doing something right?

No it wasn't - it was a new story!

Takings and popularity are no gauge to quality (usually the reverse)

Yes - it was a new story.

Unless you genuinely believe I thought previous Bond movies were sci-fi, that's just fatuous.

This one was actually worthy of a Bond film. The other Daniel Craig films seemed to blend into one so bland were they. Much like the later Brosnon films.

not sure why you would want a DVD of it...these movies should be seen on the big screen and in the comfort of the expensive seats with ice-cream ,lollies etc.

I saw Daniel Craig in the street once...funny little fellow. Shorter than me.

Well I really enjoyed it (not as much as Casino Royale which I thought was the best Bond film of the lot) so I wanted the DVD for viewing on computer in due course!

One that measures quality - using your measure The Sun would be the worlds greatest literary work

Thank you - but which measure?

Do you not think that people voting with their feet/cash is a clear reflection of their views on quality?

No - they are buying a pig in a poke

They may not like it

Can we end this silly discussion now please It's personal taste; some very popular things will also be superb; some are dreadful; some great art sinks without trace (Van Gogh) at the time; some works of genius last forever (Shakespeare).
