Skyfall....Bird droppings

Rating: 4/10 (18 November 2012)

I haven not seen a Bond movie in years, but I watched a trailer for Skyfall and got ensnared. I think they overspent so much on the opening sequence, that the producers told them to "pull in the sails" for the rest (over 2 hours) of the shoot. Daniel Craig sure knows how to pose (and run) because that's about all he does, and speak in a practically inaudible mumble for most of the movie. Bardem knows how to ham it up. The gratuitous scenes and references to past Bond movies was so juvenile and obvious, well you can see I was disappointed and depressed by this claptrap. Judy Dench was totally wasted. The only good scenes were with Albert Finney, and I wish there were more!
