Movie progressively declines

Rating: 5/10 (19 November 2015)

The one saving grace to Skyfall is that it has a great intro sequence. Fast pace, action packed, and a bunch of explosions and cool stunts. Plus, Bond gets shot, which is insane. The movie continues with cool hacking sequences and interesting characters. I found it disappointing that was essentially the best sequence of the movie.
The plot feels very undeveloped. One character that comes to mind is Bond's love interest, they introduce her and provide a compelling story, but she dies essentially after she bangs Bond. The entire movie is riddled with half story lines and boring characters.
The main plot is essentially a revenge plan carried out by a former agent against M. I honestly found myself rooting for the villain as all the good guys were so unlikable. M is a bitch and has zero redeeming qualities and Bond is just a hired gun at this point. Bond is suppose to be a charismatic bad ass, however what this movie portrays is someone with essentially no personality other than being a vicious killer. It was so disappointing to see that the villain does not get to kill M, and in the end accomplishes absolutely nothing. Luckily M dies in the end, but in the most anti-climatic way.
The movie was also much longer than it needed to be. The entire cabin scene was also extremely slow and boring.
Overall its obviously the Bond formula is showing it's age. I hope the next movie try something different.
