  1. There should be a dislike button. Some of the problem points made are incredibly stupid.

    Naturally, it's the best Bond. Whether or not it holds up, is another. Casino Royale was, and then was so slow and muted second time round.

    Old Bonds I have seen are all pretty bad.

    Yeah that is why the series has lasted 50 years and is still going strong.
  2. Skyfall

    Sold out in a 353 seater

    Trailer:

    Hotel Transylvania

    Movie:

    Movie is way too serious. It works great as a good action movie with several good performances including Craig. But it does not work that well as a Bond movie. The last half hour is good and the references to bond of old days towards the end is nice.

    Will watch again to see if iI like the movie more now that I know the movie's deficiencies as a bond movie.

  3. Has Excellent First Day

    Skyfall had an excellent first day of around 5.75 crore nett as the film scored big in South India helped by the fact it was a holiday in some parts. Mysore, Nizam/Andhra and Tamil Nadu/Kerala had collections which were out of this world. Mysore and Tamil Nadu/Kerala both crossed 1 crore nett business on day one.

    While the collections in the South were record breaking for a Hollywood release in the Hindi belt was much lower. The approx breakdown for Skyfall in all languages is as follows.

    Mumbai - 1.50 crore

    Delhi/UP - 55 lakhs

    East Punjab - 18 lakhs

    East India - 30 lakhs

    (West Bengal, Bihar, Assam, Orissa)

    Central India - 40 lakhs

    (CP Berar, CI, Rajasthan)

    South India 2.75-3 crore

    (Nizam/Andhra, Mysore, TNK)

    Looks like Skyfall made about $1.5 M on its first day in India.
  4. The movie succeeds in some ways but falls short in delivering satisfying action scenes that I have have come to enjoy in bond movies. Daniel Craig is admirable. The pacing of the movie is slow till the the last third of the movie.

    My biggest misgiving is that it does not feel like a Bond movie.

  5. Well firstly, it would help if they actually got entries from a wide range of languages. And there were actually better films in the list. FFI has an obsession with Bollywood. And some parts are completely ripped from silent films in Barfi. Inspiration is fine, lifting is not. Besides this is the same FFI that nominated "Jeans" (a commercial Tamil film) for the Oscars. If you look at the 3 Indian films which were shortlisted before, they all had something unique.

    I agree with you. South Indian movies are better at coming up with original ideas. I despise Bollywood for the most part. It is filled with talentless hacks but for a few people.
