Director: Sam Mendes
Rated: PG-13
Length: 143 min.
In everything you would expect from a Bond film, director Sam Mendes adds a
highly entertaining, but somewhat predictable chapter to the 007 legacy. From
high intensity fight sequences to multiple love affairs with extremely
attractive women; this film has all the pieces needed to create another Bond
classic.
With amazing scenery that
ranges from the towering skyscrapers of Shanghai to the immensely desolate foothills of
Scotland; the variety in cinematography makes this a fun-filled adventure for
all to enjoy. Although there may never be another Bond like the archetypal Sean
Connery, Daniel Craig is a close second with his classy style and cool
demeanor that he portrays with onscreen perfection. Javier Bardem (Silva) was a fantastic
choice for the villain in this film, but that is to be expected from an actor
of his caliber, who has proven himself to be amongst the elite with performances
in such films as No Country for Old Men and
Biutiful. However, with yet another
unsurprising and outlandish plot, this film fails to reach the level of astonishment
that I had expected from such a critically acclaimed motion picture. I hope the next Bond
film will live up to its expectations. For the best films are those of which
stimulate the mind, wouldn't you agree?
Skyfall.
