I genuinely don't see the ending of Skyfall as a fault. It mixed things up a bit, it changed the Bond format a little for the anniversary, I don't see the problem. I loved it.

Also, it still didn't change tone, the main theme of revenge was still there, the bad guy's main goal was still intact. As was the sense of danger and threat, it didn't even change genre.

Haven't people seen Demolition Man? For shame.....

although that picture is less cool and more 'ewwwww'.

I love The Rock (the movie.....aaaaand the dude) but that car chase is ridiculously edited. A lot of action films these days (especially Bay's stuff) don't have long takes, you'd be lucky if a single take lasts longer than five seconds. It's not smart, it's not clever, if anything it's actually lazy. It's poor film-making.

Shaky cam doesn't really bother me but it does bore me. They need to give it a rest.

I don't think he is Gary Mitchell. The current IDW comics are canon, according to Roberto Orci, and the Mitchell story has already happened. The comics bridge the gap between the films, so if it is true, Cumberbatch is playing someone else. Either way, we'll find out soon enough.
