SKYFALL, or, How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Fight Like a Rat in a Barrel

[Magus]

There needs to be a movement to define "Bond movie" in its most simplest terms, "a movie featuring as its main character James Bond" to save Seil the embarrassment of his ridiculous arguments--arguments he hasn't even made yet! They have spoiler tags for a reason, Seil.

If you feel it's a good movie and it features James Bond it is a good James Bond movie. A + B = C and so forth.

I admit it is no Goldfinger or The Living Daylights, and is quite divorced from the tone of Moonraker or Live and Let Die or their ilk (although perhaps those are also not James Bond movies?) but it clearly possesses the main ingredients of a Bond film--James Bond, and more James Bond.

I think what you are really searching for is that you thought it was a bad movie so just say so! I will disagree of course but...

EDIT: Is this like when people say The Dark Knight is "not a Batman movie" despite it having Batman in it and also being a movie?
