Good but lacks the depth

Rating: 8/10 (16 December 2012)

Skyfall is a long-awaited film thanks to MGM's financial woes, but it delivers. Skyfall takes a darker approach as we've seen with the past couple films and it's very character driven, yet Sam Mendes and the screenwriters still provide a massive injection of fun.
Yet, what struck me is the chemistry between Bond and Sévérine. She trusted Bond and Bond proved worthy of her trust. I personally thought it was a significant regret that she died of a terrifying death.
I love it because of the fresh approach Sam Mendes took with the visual part and the story. I hate it because Sony has postponed it for two years (despite new Bond is one of their most profitable movies) so Daniel Craig is looking as a retiree now.
The action scenes are greatly choreographed and filmed, having a modern touch without relying too much on computer effects.
