Great continuation of best modern day action films

Rating: 8/10 (16 January 2014)

It is true I have never been a huge fan of James Bond but I really enjoyed Casino Royale and believe Quantum of Solace wasn't as bad as many critics believed. So now, I have finally seen Skyfall I have to admit I enjoyed this Bond film but not as much as I did Casino Royale, this Bond film really stays to its true roots but this one has more narrative to it and a much larger role to Judi Dench's character of 'M' and slightly less of Daniel Craig. This was a nice change for me because my main turn-off from the previous Bond's is the lack of narrative and most of them being the same but the new Daniel Craig Bonds has changed my opinion on future Bonds. However, that strength could also be seen as a big weakness as there are points in this film where it seems boring for a Bond film with too much of the film without Bond involved. Also, the film in my opinion is too long for a bond film. However, the positives out way the negatives with such things as the locations which are fantastically shown off, the style of these new bonds is alive with references to the past bonds in there which appeases the older generation and Javier Bardem playing the villain which was a highlight to add to the story. Overall a solid addition to the Bond franchise.
