Inspite of a literal skyfall over various places on earth, Sam Mendes' Skyfall released to packed houses on the first day and just like the last Bond movie, I was there to catch the first day first show at one of Bangalore's amazing theatres.
Many sites/blogs read "Best bond movie ever" and many facebook posts also said "Worst bond movie ever". If I have to take a side I would choose the former. Skyfall started with an intense action sequence and that weaved into a thrilling story unlike other bond movies.
The action sequences were well choregraphed and were a delight to watch 'Bond in Action'.
The background score was one area which could be called a 'negative' to the movie. There were some places where it pumped up the adrenaline and other places it was just noise.
Daniel Craig is probably one Bond who has always been hardcore and has chosen to do more of daredevilry rather than love-making with Bond girls. He continues his charisma. There are people who say that he was never worth of a Bond but for me he shows 'How can a Bond be less cliched?'.
Judi Dench as M plays a pivotal role in this movie. M has a strong character in this movie. Watch out for her actions.
Javier Bardem plays the antagonist and he has his own style to emote the audience.
The movie has all the elements of a Bond flick and it displays a unique style of presenting it. It concentrates less on the hi-tech gadgets and more on the story and screenplay. The scenes leading to the climax are absolutely impressive and a must re-watch.
Frankly, Skyfall should never be compared to a usual Bond flick for it is 'different'. Period.
Rating: 3.5/5
Skyfall: A Tribute!
