This post has taken me far too long to get to, I saw this opening weekend with my wife and cousins in Utah and I’m finally getting around to writing about it.
Megan Urick calls it “Gripping!”
Dianne Dahlin says it’s “Exhilarating!”
Skyfall is the
best Bond yet! And Daniel Craig is
easily one of the better, if not the best, James Bond of them all. As a young kid I grew up with Pierce Brosnan
as Bond, and once my brothers and I got a little older we watched the older
Bond’s, with Roger Moore and Sean Connery.
But ever since Casino Royale and
Quantum of Solace, I’ve thought that
Craig made the best Bond. But as
outstanding as Craig is, the real star of Skyfall
has to be Javier Bardem. He plays the
best Bond villain ever (Silva), and easily the most creepy/eerie. In probably one of the best scenes in the
film, Bardem meets Craig for the first time on a deserted island and presents
himself in the most eerie, uncomfortable manner. He is a powerful and commanding leader, yet
exudes one vulnerability: himself. As
the story unfolds you see how he is absolutely driven to beat Bond and exact
himself with his once-leader, M. The
cast of Skyfall is well put together
and the acting is better than in any other Bond film; especially on the part of
these three: Javier Bardem as Silva, Daniel Craig as James Bond, and Ben
Whishaw as Q.
