SUMMARY (from IMDB): Bond's loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost.
MY OPINION:
I saw Skyfall last weekend and I really liked it. Although, it has taken me a while to review it because I have no idea how to do that without spoiling it for you. So, my review probably sounds pretty vague.
I think one of the main reasons I enjoyed it so much was that I had known next to nothing about it before seeing it, apart from the fact that it is a Bond film and all the expectations I had had from seeing the previous 007 films. Therefore, some things caught me completely by surprise, which I did not mind at all.
The breath-taking action is worthy of the Bond franchise, and the scenery and settings are spectacular. When people (i.e. mostly Bond) are not shooting, running, jumping, etc. and things are not exploding, there is emotional intensity and British wit to keep your mind whirling. And the fact that I noticed the music should say something about how good it is, since the score is one of the things I pay the least attention to in films unless it is really good.
I love the story arc of the last three Bond films, revealing Bond's backstory bit by bit. Skyfall gives us a few interesting pieces of information in that aspect.
All in all, the almost two and a half hours of watching Skyfall were time well spent.
RECOMMENDATION: If Daniel Craig is not a good enough reason for you to go watch this film, then a mix of action and drama, and an interesting story, spiced up with humour and stunning visuals are definitely the things worth seeing Skyfall for.
Totally agree with you on this. I saw it on Saturday and loved it. I like that Bond was a little bit flawed in this one. And Daniel Craig is an AMAZING Bond!!
ReplyDeleteYes, he is awesome! I think the fact that Craig's Bond isn't all perfect is exactly what makes him so great.
