It's my #1 James Bond movie of them all and within my Top 26 movies in general. so it will be difficult to come up with much negative to say.
I think she's got the overall worst of the Craig era as I can confidently say this as while the others of the Craig era shuffle around a bit for me in terms of my preference, I never much cared for Skyfall's song by Adele.
currently I would probably say I prefer the Craig era songs like this...
1.Spectre
2.Quantum of Solace (this grew on me more as time passed)
3.Casino Royale (although this would have been #1 for me at one point but has been dropping off a bit lately)
4.Skyfall
but in terms of ALL Bond movies, it's not the worst but there are many others I like over it. basically it does not stand out for me like some do as some I like listening to occasionally, but that's not one of them.
Given it's my #1 Bond movie in general and it's got solid visuals, I would have to say it's the best looking Bond movie.

I generally like the more realistic/subtle approach with the Craig era when it comes to gadgets as the Brosnan era was too over-the-top.
I thought he was a solid choice as he's more of a modern Q. but like you said, Desmond will have a place in Bond history especially given he stayed with the role for so long.
I don't like how lately Hollywood has gone a bit overboard with that stuff with casting minorities simply because they are minorities etc.
but with that said... I like Naomie Harris as Moneypenny as they made a good call there. because putting aside the solid chemistry between Craig/Green in Casino Royale (2006), I would have to say, excluding Judi Dench who's always solid in the series, she's(Naomie Harris) basically the 2nd best female in the Craig era.
Maybe in terms of general Bond movie stuff, but just straight up I like it.
that tops pretty much everything in Spectre off the top of my head.
Maybe he's a bit over-the-top at times but overall he's still among the better villains if you ask me.
FridayOnElmStreetI thought the opposite as he suits these more modern times well.
like Desmond was good for the old days, but had he still been around I don't think he would work in this modern Craig era where things are more serious in tone. but who knows, maybe I am wrong and that he could work better than I think in the Craig era had he still been here.
but honestly, I can't really see Desmond working as well as Ben with this modern Bond movies that are more serious in tone as even Ben's Q character in this is basically serious but yet delivers some comedy here and there. Desmond on the other hand, just don't seem to have that kind of presence and is more suited for the old days.
Seriously?
Lazenby is the clear cut weak link overall simply because he does not excel at either being suave or tough (which those two things are pretty much at the core of the character) where as all other Bond actors do at least one of those two things well...
Connery = a good balance of suave/tough. but between the two he does suave better as, like Brosnan, his general presence just gives off suaveness.
Lazenby = does not excel at either suave or tough. which makes him the clear weak link overall. for the record... I like his Bond movie.
Moore = suave. but can be tough enough when needed even though, as like many others say, his take on Bond was a bit comedic.
Dalton = tough. he's most similar to Craig (or I guess one could say Craig is the most similar to him given he was the first to clearly favor the tough angle over the suave.
Brosnan = suave. in terms of suaveness he's #1 as he's naturally a suave guy as I feel only Connery is debatable with him in that dept on who's taking the top spot. but I will say in terms of toughness he was the least believable and arguably worse than even Lazenby in that regard. but it's easy to overlook given his natural suaveness/presence.
Craig = tough. but like Dalton can be suave enough when needed.
so for the most part you basically got two that favor the tough side of things and three who favor the suave side of things.
moviebuffbradAgreed.
she will be remembered in the Bond series for sure.
