Hey, guys. I just saw Skyfall. Here’s what I think.
This film was really hyped and I was very excited to go see it. For the first 20-30 minutes of the film, it’s really fast paced. Almost like a Bourne film, instead of a Bond film. That was my main problem with the previous two films. They were too much like a typical action flick and not enough like a “James Bond Movie.” But, as the plot started moving, the film took a very different style, where everything was fast, but it took it’s time with story and didn’t rely heavily on explosions. Visually, it was amazing! The scenes where Bond is in Shanghai are so surreal and bizarre. No wonder they got former theater director and Academy Award Winner Sam Mendes to direct.
Javier Bardem was great as the villain. He’s evil and psychotic, but in a sort of quirky, fun way. He’s always cracking jokes. Plus, the Bond girls were hot and were thought out characters.
Overall, I think it’s not only the best Bond film, but the best Bond film BY FAR. It takes it’s own, unique approach to 007, creativity I haven’t seen since GoldenEye in 1995. However, the first 20-30 minutes aren’t so good. So, I give it a 9/10!
