Atypical Bond-flick

Rating: 8/10 (23 November 2012)

Skyfall is an atypical Bond movie, in that it is a lot less extravagant in its plot and gadgets, and focuses a lot more on the person of James Bond himself. The quintessential Bond-girl is also missing, this time around.
Still, I found the movie thoroughly enjoyable, even if it missed the wow-factor of Casino Royal. Decent script, good action (especially the opening sequence), beautiful title song by Adele.
Skyfall introduces new actors in the roles of M, Q and Moneypenny. We might expect to see them in future movies as well.
Javier Bardem wows as the wonderfully wicked villain.
