Skyfallen

If the original movie was somewhat flawed, I don't knock the editor if his finished product isn't an A+. You can only work with what you got. Based on the theatrical cut, this edit is a great improvement. The story was improved as was the understanding of the plot. I always prefer the classic bond theme, so I liked this change. Thanks for the hard work!

This is one of the best Skyfall edits. It's too bad I can't find an HD version. LastSurvivor handled the final battle the best out of all the fanedits and I'm glad he took out the home alone stuff. It didn't seem fitting for a Bond movie to me. At first I was missing Adele's Skyfall and I didn't know what the other song was but I think it actually served the narrative more somehow. I wasn't expecting that. I still love her song though. If I can find an HD version I'll be set.

I really like SkyFall, I had no big issues with it. So, what did I think about LastSurvivor's SkyFallen? I liked it, but if the shower scene would have been cut, I would have loved this cut more!

I love SkyFall by Adele, but the opening song works!

Skyfall was a mixed bag. Most of it is wonderful (and a great improvement over the utter mess that was QoS) but some bits leave you wondering how on earth they ever made it to the theatrical release.

Overall this is a very good edit - and much better than my attempt at seeing what I could do - but is perhaps too severe in some places and not severe enough in others. Although the music changes are generally a definite improvement, I liked the original title tune more than the replacement here. I even miss a couple of the one-liners that have been cut, like the wing-mirrors one. I'm also uncertain about losing most of the villain's introduction, partly because the pair's willy-waving about who's the hardest does lead onto the (also cut) line about the waste of whisky.

Most importantly, we're still asked to believe that the villain's great plan is to be captured by MI6, knowing that - somehow - Q will be stupid enough to allow the captured laptop access to the MI6 network so that every door in the new HQ will open. One basic bit of computer security or one ordinary lock on a cell, and the film's nearly an hour shorter...

Back to the good stuff, losing the product placement is very welcome and the final fight makes as much sense as it's ever going to. The commentary is worth listening to as well.

Congratulations.

A truly brilliant edit from last survivor, the pacing is much better, bond's back story feels more fleshed out as a result and silver's monologues are thankfully toned down.
as mentioned in other reviews the only noticeable cut to me is on the island, the fade feels like something done on imovie and doesn't really fit with the rest of the film, although the choice of where to cut is exemplary.
the musical choices are great as well, the addition of motifs from other bond movies is excellently placed and makes the film score much more like a traditional bond movie. Although i didn't have a problem with adele's song, the choices made for the opening and end credits are well done and do not feel out of place.
as often with last survivor, this has now become my goto version of the film,
(my only two changes would be to remove M's F-word and silver's jaw pulling sequence as both are superfluous to the plot and make this difficult to watch with a child.)

Now if only someone would edit On Her Majesty's Secret Service or Octopussy. hint hint
