Incredibly refreshing

Rating: 8/10 (21 May 2013)

Skyfall was so refreshing. Maybe it's because when I saw it, it was the first action I'd seen in a while, or maybe it's because I went alone (yes, you read that right) without anyone distracting me. But, whenever I finish a Bond film, I always feel so elegant; like I could be a Bond girl. And then reality sets in. No, but really though, those films are incredibly classy. The intro was amazing, representing Adele's 'Skyfall' (which is an amazing song, by the way), and the action was superb.
The one thing I thought they could have done better was made the movie a little shorter. Parts of it were very slow, and I don't think that the 143 minute run time was necessary.
Daniel Craig, who I think is one of the best James Bond's of all time, was, no surprise here, amazing; Javier Bardem, who played Silva was great too. I thought his performance was overdone, but it really worked well. Then we have Judi Dench as Agent M. Enough said. And of course, I can't forget the gorgeous Bond girls, Bérénice Marlohe and Naomie Harris.
