Skyfall

Not bad. Gets its "we're a Bond film, we have to have an insane giant action sequence regardless of what the rest of the film is like" out of its system at the start rather than jamming it in at the end like the last two. The slow prowling establishing shots, some of the music and certain plot elements make me agree with the "influenced by the Nolan Batman films" comments in some reviews. Oddly, the most striking image in the trailer is not actually in the film. The scene it was presumably cut from still counts as a striking image, fortunately.

Yeah I can see the Batman influence. I enjoyed it because it was very Bond-like and rather over the top, although in all fairness I was looking for silly and distracting rather than deep and serious.
