Review of Skyfall (2012) by Jamie C — 05 Oct 2017

Bond is back and with style, Daniel Craigs third Bond film is on par with the best Bond film ever made, Casino Royale, Daniel himself is fantastic as he always is but the best performance was Javier Bardem as the villain, He is one of if not the best villain in Bond history, He really felt like the Joker to Batman in some scenes, Very clever and frightening, The plot is a simple revenge story, The action is done well and was very good but there's not as much as you think though, There's an excellent mixture of old school classic Bond and there's also something that feels very unique and fresh all at the same time and when you put them both together you get something magical, The ending scenes were very good and not at all what I thought they would be like, The opening scene was brilliant, 2 hours 25 minutes goes at a reasonable pace but if I'm honest I didn't want it to end, It brings some old characters back that will feature in future Bonds, I just hope they don't spoil it with too much silliness and stupid gadgets from the old films now some familiar characters are back, My favourite film of the year, Very entertaining from start to finish, Even the theme song is brilliant, I can't pick a fault at all, A must watch film, I hope Daniel does as many as he can as he was born to play Bond.
