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?

A Better Bond
By a customer , 16 May 2013Worth watching because it's less frenzied than 'Quantum of Solace'(daft title!daft film!) and the scenery is stunning. As usual, the plot stretches credulity to breaking point, but who cares(crazy finale) It was lovely to see Bond's old Aston Martin again, and in Glencoe too! Pity they didn't stick with the Scottish setting...You won't believe what they've done with the Moneypenny connection at the end...- Was this review helpful to you?

007 indeed!
By twosoddingcats (211 reviews) from Kingston-upon-Thames , 13 May 2013I’ve watched ‘Casino Royale’ and didn’t realise that ‘Quantum of solice’ came before ‘Skyfall’ but it didn’t ruin the storyline- must rent ‘Quantum of solice’ next! Javier Bardem is excellent as the baddie (the bleached blonde hair is hilarious) – an ex agent who wants to kill M (the brilliant Judi Dench). Ralph Fiennes has definitely started to lose his hair after shaving it off so many times for Harry Potter but is great as M’s boss. The film has the usual stuff; exotic locations, beautiful women, car chases, gadgets and a race to stop the baddie exposing all the agents working for M on You Tube! My only gripe is this one doesn’t show Daniel Craig coming out of the sea with tight shorts on but you do see him shaving with his top off! Ben Whishaw must get a mention as he plays Q to geeky perfection and won a Bafta last night for his Richard II plays- an actor to watch out for.- Was this review helpful to you?

James Bond, Skyfall
By a customer , 13 May 2013An excellent Bond! Thoroughly enjoyed by myself and others I know who have seen the film. Many subtle references to past Bond films to watch out for. Would definitely recommend this one for anyone to watch, whether they have seen other films in the series or not.- Was this review helpful to you?
