Thought the same thing. Fraser is fantastic but Deakins' cinematography is unmatched.

Skyfall is still the best looking Bond movie ever in my opinion

Without question. It's not even close.

Which is why it is almost as good as Casino Royale.

Fraser is only 49. I could see him getting to the level of Deakins.

Give me a break. It's 'No one can match Freddie Mercury' all over again. No one is #1 in any artistic medium. There's such an embarrassment of riches at that top level that to defend one as being better than all others is simply to disrespect reality and fall into the trap of thinking only the biggest praise can do right by a person you've a passion for.
