Holes

Rating: 4/10 (26 November 2012)

After the brilliant Casino Royale en the lesser QoS, I was psyched to see the latest James Bond. Not to be totally negative, it was entertaining, but I left the theater with a feeling of disappointment. CR had that, in my mind, brilliant dark atmosphere. A James Bond full of mystery, tough... a perfect secret agent. Skyfall however almost shows a loser.. I don't want to see tears in Bonds eyes, or hear about his pathetic childhood. However, that's not what really disappointed me.
The plot did. I've read several user reviews and plot holes, so I won't mention them all, but a few that are TOO obvious or are not mentioned yet..
1. The capture of the operates list is not fully explained, why this is relevant? Even so, why will a super-villain, who can, in his own words, take down the economy of a country by his hacks, or who can access one of the worlds most technologically advanced computer-network with ease to create a gas explosion in the office of M (the only office with a gas-pipe-valve, which can be opened remotely), hire someone to steal a harddisk from a laptop, when he has access to the MI6 system??
2. No one survives a fall, wounded and all, from such a hight.
3. When you cut out pieces of a bullet out of your body yourself,(which were in there some time, why not take it out sooner if it hurts), you will need SOME time to recover. You cannot just walk of and discard the pain.
4. What made the Skyfall Mansion explode in such a manner? Those 2 cannisters of gas?
5. When you've been under the ice for minutes, you can't get out of the water and not shake. No matter how tough you are.
