hrayovac No backup in Scotland. This is M, a rather important person to the government and no protection..and why would Silva choose to attack in such a trap situation? It is because they wanted to drag out Silva's demise in excruciating length. Craig's acting can't turn a Swiss cheese plot into even a solid Havarti. The beginning of the love-hate depravity type in all the Bond villains that would follow. No more simple world domination, now these guys are just weird.
cinemajesty Movie Review: "007: Skyfall"Being in good hands at Columbia Pictures and slowly-recovering Hollywood studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Eon Productions Ltd. represented by producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson strikes the fine line of action and drama with Bond Production 23, engaging Academy-Award-Winning Director Sam Mendes to fulfill the 50th anniversary of the 007 movie series, sharing twists of suspense and elegantly-shot action sequences by cinematographer Roger Deakins, at age 62, with another original screenplay by Robert Wade & Neal Purvis, who get supported by screenwriter John Logan, known for the polished script of "Gladiator" (2000), based on Ian Fleming's life-time creation of the character of James Bond, performed by actor Daniel Craig in full range-playing bestform."Skyfall" builds a dramatized relationship between "007" and the MI6-agent's superior "M", portrayed for the seventh times since 1995 by Dame Judi Dench, who together with the leading man delivers an humanized as emotional journey of loss with respect to fallen, believed-dead spies in an high-precision driving pre-title sequence with a traditional chase sequence from a hotel room over Istanbul's streets by car and motorcycle with field action support by the character of Miss Moneypenny, here in an expanding coverage performance by actress Naomi Harris, who follows 007 to his train boarding towards a spectacular roof top fight with the train's full acceleration, when plot surprises sends the audience into a mysterious main-title-sequence with Bond looking, searching, digging and shooting himself into the past of a forfeited childhood under the nerve-striking vocals of singer Adele, setting the tone to one of the best 007 movies since "GoldenEye" (1995), establishing high-profile motion picture quality entertainment for any thriller-indulging audience.After tension losses with "Quantum of Solace" in season 2008/2009, this Bond movie presents itself in a total Zeitgeist fashion of Fall 2012 and beyond, standing strong and compact in its 135 Minutes editorial cut by Stuart Baird, who makes use of Roger Deakins' remarkable use of color, symmetry and long camera takes in the first ever fully-digital-received visual works for a 007 movie. The editor brings back the classic reservation as well as elegant continuity of "Casino Royale" (2006) or "From Russia With Love" (1963). The audience around the world thanked the filmmakers with upto 50 percent increase in international box office attendance of movie season 2012/2013; also due to a fulminate performance by actor Javier Bardem as Bond nemesis Silva, who together with side-kicking beauty actress Bérénice Marlohe, leads James Bond deeper into a wide-spread network of global-playing entities as snatching tentacles of a soon-to-be-revealed head organization "Spectre". Nevertheless major computer-hacker Silva gives Bond the hardest time in this picture toward a nothing-to-be-wished-for showdown on a Scotish private estate in a night raid of splintering concrete, major shoot-outs, a tunnel escape from a crashing helicopter over to an ice-lake crossing path of the already legendary chapel confrontation in the triangle of redemption between Silva, Bond & "M" under a subconsciously lingering soundtrack by composer Thomas Newman, who reinvents "007" historic pitches into his overall original score compositions accompanied by sensual placed sound design works.Released on October 23rd 2012 to a world premiere in London, UK under full cast, including further supporting splendor by character performers Ralph Fiennes and Ben Wishaw arranged by long-term Eon's staff casting director Debbie McWilliams, onboard since "For Your Eyes Only" (1981), as well as the filmmakers' attendance, led by accomplished director Sam Mendes, who then eventually overthrow himself with the over-budgeted 245 Million Dollar production of "Spectre" in 2015 to share nevertheless this proudly-received presentation of a James Bond movie for the ages, making its succession to overall audio-visual motion picture satisfactions for spectators from China over the Americas to countries of Europe.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
maxmages There are a lot of movies that are really popular but you do not like them, then there are those movies that many people like you do not understand why and why you need a time or look at them again and slowly understand what people love and then there the movies are probably the columns of opinion because exactly the things the other people love about you just did not like you. "Skyfall" is not one of those movies that is a movie I did not like from the first time and with each new watch it got worse and worse. I still can not understand why anyone can like this movie and still am still shocked to see how many people worship this movie. That people love this movie is bad enough but that they praise this movie as much as anyone else that is the biggest tragedy "Skyfall" contains no suspense the drama is passable but the effects are funny there is no real plot I third of the movie is just jumping from one place to the next and so I really really took a long time to follow the process of the movie It's always going to be bad if you only see an action movie but you have to read through the Wikipedia article to get the plot (I mean that's not Blade Runner what the complicated storyline?), but I'm a lot more baffled the train that arrives so well on the ground nothing done dirt that has no special quality or anything special. I even go so far as to say that the film would not even have received a third of the money of praise or prizes if not for the brand name James Bond. Everything in this movie is stupid the characters you suffer can die all the ones you do not like die sometime later but then not in a good way, Javier Bardem looks like they painted him the visage, and the movie is literally anti-climatic you because the entire last third is even more boring than the rest of the movie. So the movie starts okay, then gets annoying then gets boring and ends in just awful. I do not understand today it was the people who loved this movie so much and I honestly lost interest in the answer, of course I know the tastes are always different and not all like that but if he changes me half a puzzle want and say that is the most beautiful picture in the world although over half missing and what you see looks like ass then I miss the words. My conclusion, of course, is that the James Bond films are not always the best in the world and I know that they are made for entertainment only because none of these films will get you an Oscar or be represented very much in the general movie encyclopedia but Skyfall is absolutely shitty, Direct are pretty stupid, the drama is tolerable, the record is super stupid, the end is a single insult and the music would be pitiful even for a Disney musical. This movie should die.
Malcolm Parker OK, the story is no more or less plausible than previous episodes in the series. Perhaps it has a harder edge, with a line of coffins draped in Union Jacks and faux news coverage of summary executions filmed on hand-held cameras mimicking all too familiar real life events. What is unfortunate is that the legacy of this series, injects softness where there should be none and implausibility where mere spectacle is no longer enough. The legacy demands that Bond is portrayed as a heroic figure, but coldly, there is little in this tale that is heroic. The dichotomy for the writers is delivering a convincing narrative about this secret agent, when little that drove the invention of the character and his "glamour" has any meaningful relevance to the job such an agent would need to do in today's world. We've know this for years of course, and the problem is perhaps the biggest challenge to face anyone who wants to continue the succession. There are few films in cinema history that are nicer to look at than this one, but if you want to get the most out of the film, don't bother trying to connect too many of the dots in the story. It's not Shawshank, The Godfather or Lawrence of Arabia, but it is a GOOD James Bond film!
