Not your typical BOND Film, but a Very Different type of BOND Film
By a customer , 27 Oct 2012[Highly rated reviewer]
Skyfall is almost as good as Casino Royal but definitely a lot better than Quantum of Solace, the plot makes more sense! Oh a difficult film to review. This isn’t your typical Bond Film. It’s perhaps the most unique and odd Bond film ever made out of all them. It doesn’t follow the same formula as the rest of the series. Yes, there’s Bond Girls, a Bond Villain and a great opening sequence, but the film, dare I say, is more about M (Dench – who is awesome) rather than about Bond himself.
After the opening sequence, it takes while to get into, about and 1 hour and a half, as soon as Bardem makes his appearance who is very good as the bad guy. It reminded me of how The Dark Knight went along, although Skfall not as cleverly accomplished as that film. The action scenes are decent, but not as memorable as past Bond films like Casino Royal. Craig is showing some Bond humour now, but not on a Roger Moore humour level, that will take a miracle! And Q returns, which great, but no invisible car, which is great too.
I like the ending, sombre but it allows Daniel Craig’s Bond to go in a new direction, which I look forward to seeing. Overall a very, very, different Bond Film, that is enjoyable to watch, but it isn’t perfect. Hopefully Chris Nolan will direct the next one and show his interpretation of the perfect Bond.
Good effort 007.- Was this review helpful to you?

(137)What a waste of talent
By a customer , 22 May 2013You have a bunch of highly talented actors (Bardem, Dench, Fiennes) in this film who give their best, but unfortunately cannot make-up for the lack of substance, the stereotypical development of the story, and the emotional superficiality of the main characters. The stunning scenaries and technical effects keep you going for a while, until you get bored... What annoyed me the most in this film was Bond's female assistant... in the past at least they had some wit. Now they are casted as brainless, over-confident military-barbies, who think of themselves as very clever and funny - you'd think the director hired them directly from Sugar's last year's Apprentice... I switched off the telly half way through, because I couldn't stand it any longer...- Was this review helpful to you?

Not a bond fan but impressed with this film
By a customer , 21 May 2013I am not a 007 fan but decided to give it a try and I was not disappointed - this has restored by faith in James Bond and I am now going to rent the other Daniel Craig 007 films. The fantastic plot and action scenes had me sitting on the edge of my seat for the full length of the film. If you are not a bond fan but enjoy a good action film then please rend this movie!- Was this review helpful to you?

Best Bond Ever
By Ash82 (21 reviews) , 20 May 2013Great film, well thought out, well acted and well directed. Gets into the background of Bond in a realistic gritty way which is cool, and believable. Finally, Javier Bardem is a brilliant villain and this is well worth a watch. My favourite Bond was Goldeneye but its now Skyfall... BRAVO.- Was this review helpful to you?
