    The Skyfall rating was a bit silly also... James Bond is not Jason Bourne, you should always tell yourself

    The plane part. Unrealistic as hell

    Oy, arguing realism for this franchise isn't probable.

    Well, be unrealistic is acceptable. Insult the viewer's intelligence is not.

    How does a Bond film insult your intelligence?

    Seems like a silly question, but are you a Dalton fan Henry ?

    Making something idiot as that and thinking the viewer is going to believe. (Same with Die Another Day's Tsunami and GoldenEye's plane.

    Yes, I am.

    EON isn't cheating you. They aren't trying to fool you, they are trying to entertain you. Why the hell else would MR go to space for?

    You can't blame a film franchise for being outlandish if it openly markets itself as escapist fun. An example of EON insulting your intelligence would be if Mike or Babs said in an interview "the easter eggs in DAD paying homage to the past films were perfectly presented and absolutely needed to be there."

    The QoS haters have grown so unoriginal that all they can post is cussing. Ha. Not a clever argument (because they have none). Not a powerful word that symbolizes their hatred, having been pulled from their vocabulary (because who has time to read a dictionary when all your time is filled with hating QoS?). And no constructive criticism to add (because they only know how to hate).
