There can be no need for more action

Rating: 9/10 (11 December 2012)

Diane and I saw this wonderful movie this afternoon and at least I and probably she also were stunned by the amount of choreographed action sequences. I watched the entire older Bond films last year on TV in a retro-viewing of them and I found too much action and not enough intrigue. Skyfall was much the same as those older script outlines but having said that I found this new Bond film more edgy but saddled with too much new century action. It reached the point of me wondering when it was all going to end. I gave the film a 9 because it was an excellently worked action film but with no "twists" and little suspense; this action however, was good enough to maintain our interest In terms of the acting: Judi Dench is memorable as are the other players with on-screen time and speaking roles. The destruction in the action sequences is truly amazing and the cities where it takes place also deserve billing because they provide an extraordinary tableau upon which these sequences are played. Watch this film and this last sentence will make perfect sense. Even if you come away with niggling little concerns as deleted in my observations you will still, almost certainly, have enjoyed your afternoon or evening.
