Argo

Surprisingly excellent thriller which makes Skyfall's second half look especially pathetic. Always had the impression that Ben Affleck was somewhat light weight but in directing and starring in this film was an impressive achievement. Co produced by Clooney who can do no wrong, this should be up for an Oscar nomination.

9/10

Skyfall

Not bad, first half was rather good, but then it disintergrated into the set piece, meglomaniac goes wild with big shoot them up ending.
Chase over the roof tops very good during the opening sequence.

Two mistakes at least. The tube crash in rush hour would have been crowded with bodies flying everywhere, however not a person in sight.
The reflection of the filming helicopter was caught in the landrover's door window. Blink and you miss it, but should have been picked up in post production, very naughty.

8.5/10 First half
5/10 Second half.
