Wreck it Ralph- The movie was adorable, lots of cameos from video game characters, the story is aimed towards both kids and adults. I enjoyed myself stupid in the theater 9.5/10

Skyfall 7/10. Didn't do it for me as the story didn't really come off as well as I thought it would but an improvement over QoS.

Skyfall - 9.5/10

Sam Mendes was an excellent choice to helm this more personal entry in the Bond franchise. While I still think I enjoy Casino Royale just slightly more this is an amazing film on every level. The narrative, dialogue, locales, villain and action set pieces are all great and every bit of it feels quite fresh, which is saying a lot considering the ground this franchise has covered over 50 years. I really enjoyed all the new characters that were introduced/reintroduced. In particular I loved the exchanges between Bond and Q. The stage seems to be set for some great adventures if Craig sticks with the role. Skyfall was a definite highpoint for the franchise though. Can't wait to own this one on Blu-ray.

Glad you enjoyed it. Went twice myself. But I'll wait to watch it for the third time on BD. Loved it myself.

I think I may take this one in again theatrically as well. Not something I normally do anymore but I'm finding myself wanting to revisit it already.

So what did you score Skyfall and how do you feel it stacked up against CR & QoS? I was waiting to read what your impressions were after your initial post in the Skyfall thread but hadn't seen anything as of yet.

Skyfall - 7/10

Huge Bond fan but during my first viewing it didn't quite hit the nail on the head for me.

Will give it a second try before I make any comments though.

I deliberately did not rate it until more people had seen it. It is a much more serious movie than the previous two outings from Craig. It did not have the same charm and charisma of CR but I did not mind that. I absolutely loved the cinematography, probably the best of any Bond. Some of the sequences were pieces of art. That sequence in Shanghai was stunning. I'd love a poster of that scene. I loved the hints of Bonds background and I have always enjoyed the mother/son relationship between him and M. So it will be interesting to see how the series will continue. I would rate it 9/10.

I can totally understand this as when I initially watched the movie I was not convinced. But on second viewing this movie made more sense.

Amazing Spiderman 7/10 it's a competently made film that's perfectly watchable, but I found myself indifferent. It felt redundant. I actually liked the suit and some of the Spidey shots though.
