I don't have too much to say about this, except that it was truly excellent. Everything you did here worked perfectly. I suppose some editing is noticeable when Bond meets Silva and there is one slightly odd shot just before Silva shoots the hot Asian girl--it looked as if the film was zoomed in. It was extremely brief and I only mention it because I hate to leave such a short review, as if I weren't paying attention :-)
This was a great edit and is my go-to version of Skyfall.

anarchemist, thank you for taking the time to write a review and I'm really glad you enjoyed the edit so much.

Yes, you are right about the zoomed-in shot. I think I mention it on the commentary, but it was the only way to manipulate the scene as I wanted to. Hopefully it didn't distract too much!

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

Hey roo5151.

Thanks so much for the review and great to see you enjoyed it so much. I kinda wished I had not done that "blur" edit effect as it seems a universal opinion that it looked goofy and amateurish. Oh well, you live and learn huh?

Nice to hear that the additional music choices worked well, as not many other people have commented on that.

As for OHMSS or Octopussy? Well, the former is my favourite Bond film of all time so perhaps I'll have a go at a streamlined version someday. Who knows? Thanks again.

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!

Hello everyone, been hard working with life. But I thought I'd chime in here with a review from my review pile of fanedits.

Skyfall was a film that I loved. It was a great celebration of the 50th anniversary for Bond. However, Silva felt a little over the top and kinda reminded me of the Joker from The Dark Knight. This edit is now my preferred go to of Skyfall. Last Survivor did a great job of trimming down the fluff and unnecessary things from it. This is an edit that I'd highly recommend.

wow what another excellent bond fanedit from last survivor.
i loved this movie in imax but i did not think it was as good as the hype.
there were a few problems that bugged me,
eg. the bond running over the frozen lake not around it, the advertising, some bad one liners and when bond see's sivera in the underground train station, but i still enjoyed it.
when i watched this edit i saw just how good this movie is with a few good edits.
last survivor has done it a again made an awesome fanedit of a bond film.
i think mgm and sony need to pay last survivor to edit all there movies he alway knows what to cut. i love this edit, it is a must watch it makes this one of the best bonds around and show just how close to being a perfect bond movie they made.
thank you last survivor you have got rid of all the filler and made a perfect fanedit(again).
this is my go to edit and will be the only version i watch.
