SKYFALL +++ Zero Zero Zero not 007 +++

Rating: 2/10 (2 November 2012)

SKYFALL – A James Bond brand new chapter where many lessons of bond series seems to be partially written or forgotten like the quintessential '3S' elements of Bond series –SPEED ,STYLE & STORY.
Skyfall opens with an extraordinary adventure sequence in Turkey followed by a brilliantly picturised track song by Adele. But further movie FALL like an apple from SKY and collapsed with few Jumps in Between.
SKYFALL is extremely slow in terms of narration, expect the first 15 minutes it fails to keep the same pace to the rest of the movie. Its background score impresses you at places and at places it fails to generate the high octane excitement of Bond
Sam Mendes, the Director of the SKYFALL seems to be work hard to make the classic adventure as dark as it used to be but the screenplay is such a weak part of the movie that it doesn't return what you have expected. For e.g. : Bond get shot twice in the beginning one at the right shoulder during initial chase and the second when Eve shot him accidentally, but surprisingly in the next scene of the movie he is perfectly all right lying in bed with lady and wine. Also one would think why the movie name is titled as SKYFALL, thou in the end audience gets the hint but it was funny at least not justifiable for a spy movie.
Cinematography –Yeah this one area which scores 10/10, Roger Deakins has done incredibly an outstanding Job. Visual Effects by the team is also impressing.
Overall, in SKYFALL has some colors of rainbow bright, few are shady and rest are invisible. For the Hardcore Bond series Lover this could be a treat without toppings.
