Saw it last night. I’m agreeing with the general sentiment here in saying that the characters were strong but the story was ultimately weak. Still better then Quantum of Solace but nowhere near the level of Casino Royale. You could really sense Sam Mendes influence in the direction, which to me didn’t seem to fit at all times. What I loved about Casino Royale was pretty much summed up in the below scene, and the gritty multi-dimensional bond seemed absent in Skyfall, save about 30 seconds which to me was forced.
