Skyfall


  

Overly hyped and no content.Highly disappointing for a Bond flick.

Pluses:
  • Judi Dench had maximum exposure as she was the one getting executed in this flick :P and also since there were more dialogues than action :D
  • Javier Bardem as the bad guy was very much convincing.Loved him more than the Bond himself
  • The philosophical concepts like that of a 'rat', was nice, but may be this one grabbed some attention since the rest of the content was hopeless
  • A few locations in China were beautiful, but you would hardly ever know if they were real or made up
  • Berenice Marlohe as the bond girl was pretty good and hot, even though nothing much to do in the entire movie
Minuses:
  • Sam Mendes tried to overhaul the character of Bond, something similar as to what was done to the character of a Batman and there was a Dark Knight born. But for god's sake, we go more for the action in a Bond flick than a human drama
  • Least minutes of action that you would ever witness in a Bond movie
  • Daniel Craig wasted with more and more questions on his age and capabilities to perform as an agent. He was all poses and no work throughout. You could hardly ever see any output from him
  • Technology and gadgets were more of a mockery subject than ever used to its modern times
  • Storyline was just about ok and quite regular as for any action flick but definitely far less for a bond movie. As i quoted before i wasnt prepared for a human drama
  • The length of the movie actually bored me, all the time waiting for some action, some content

My Rating: 2/5
