SKYFALL

Post by Jet_Jaguar »

Anyone else here interested in seeing this movie? I might go see it and Wreck-It Ralph tomorrow. I've heard VERY good things about it, so I'm interested in seeing it, even though I'm typically not into the James Bond series that much.

If you're a longtime fan of the film series, there are some nice nods in this film, most notably the classic Aston Martin DB V.

Wonderfully shot, I think it's Craig best Bond film yet. Javier Bardem (and the hair) was intense and creepy as the main villain. Adele's theme song, like every song she does, was moving and lovely. There wasn't wall-to-wall action like one would expect from a Bond movie, but what action there was, was intense and frenetic. I like how they show Bond as human, tired, old, vulnerable yet how he rises to the occasion when he needs to.

Thoroughly enjoyed it.
