Skyfall, the 23rd James Bond movie, celebrates the 50th anniversary of the James Bond film franchise. An exciting action thriller, it was the perfect way to satisfy longtime fans of the series while also introducing the agent 007 to the young people in our generation who've heard of James Bond, but never seen him in action. As someone who’s never seen a James Bond movie before, I was thoroughly entertained.
In the beginning of the movie, Bond (Daniel Craig) and Eve (Naomie Harris), both MI6 agents, are working together to stop Patrice (Ola Rapace), who stole a hard drive with a list of undercover agents involved in terrorist organizations. During a fight between Bond and Patrice on top of a train, Eve, in an attempt to shoot Patrice, accidentally shoots Bond instead, who falls into the river. Bond takes his injury as an opportunity to retire and go into hiding, which leads people to believe that he is dead. But after he learns of an attack on the MI6 headquarters, he decides to come out of retirement and rejoin M16 in order to find the thief, prevent the list from being exposed and save the reputations of MI6 and the head of the agency, M (Judi Dench).
Anyone who is into action flicks will find this movie exciting, regardless of whether or not you are familiar with the other James Bond movies. It was captivating, suspenseful, and unpredictable. Though it was about thirty minutes longer than it should have been, it got me excited about the powers of James Bond and inspired me to one day watch some of the other movies in the James Bond collection.
Skyfall: 2h 23min, Rated PG-13
I've been expecting to see this movie for a long time. It does raise an arguement among people, they either love the movie or hate it. I think you give pretty fair conclusion
ReplyDeleteActually this is the first Bond's movie that I have ever seen, which means that I am not a Bond's fan.. But this movie is really good and I was attracted by the action parts. By the way, the theme song is really good!
