Sounds exciting to say review, dont think I will do a complete one but have so many thoughts on Skyfall. First time in years we went out without the children, leaving them in the safe hands of my Mum. Sold out for 7pm, got tickets for 7:30.
In a nutshell, the movie for me doesn't compare to the old James Bond ones, with Roger Moore and Sean Connery, but is great entertainment for almost 2.5 hours. Daniel Craig is good, Berenice Marlohe is beautiful and I wish she had more scenes, but Javier Bardem as the villain is fabulous. Scarily comic, that insane smile on his face, excellent CGI scene of his teeth and his portrayal of a cyber terrorist is very good.
The action scenes are classic, loved the digger-train scene and a few bits of the Scotland house scenes. Lots of explanations of Bond's background, M's 'betrayals' and quotes from English poets.
Judi Dench overshadows the other women and her scenes with Daniel Craig have so much chemistry.
Good entertainment without too much of thinking and a worthy second to 'those' good old Bond movies of my Dad's days.
