Casino Royale was great but grossed about $600M. Then QoS is widely regarded as a huge disappointment and grossed less than Casino Royale.

What about Skyfall generated such hype? Was it just that damn song?

Return to form after QoS
Great villain
Didn't spend tons of time on a card game (I loved those scenes, but some people complain about them)
Standalone film
Explored the character of Bond in a new way
Shook up the status quo

Best Bond ever, smartest screenplay, best directed, AMAZING cinematography, best villain, introduced new and likeable MI6 staff.

I thought it was all kind of dumb for sure but people didn't know that until they saw it the first time. So what got them into the theater in the first place? Was it really just Adele?

I loved that, but that's probably mostly because I'm a big Scotland fan.

Also, the movie had a Jason Bourne-esque feeling about it, which I enjoy very much.

The actual reasons, that have nothing to do with people thinking it's a good movie (since it's absolutely not) are:

- was made pg-13, unlike the old bond movies

- was released in more markets, and the population increased to 7 billion (and counting) since casino royale and quantum solace days. It being shot in china certainly helped win that chinese audience

There has never been an R rated Bond movie.
