MY REVIEW: Bond Goes Sky High!!

Rating: 7/10 (9 November 2013)

Although I did not like the storyline personally as it was over sentimental and too personal for professional characters like M, Bond and Silva but no shame in admitting that giving the driver seat to Oscar winning director Same Mendes did wonders to this already cult bond franchise. He took the cheesiness out, made you root for the characters, gave back story to central characters, provided the uneasy darkness and all this is done with lots of conventional bond style and technical excellence. All conversations are so delicious that you want to hear them again and again. Daniel Craig in his third outing as James Bond never misses a beat and his scorching screen presence is worth of your ticket money. Javier Bradem as lunatic bad guy is a treat to watch as usual (Remember No Country For Old Men). Bringing Ralph Fiennes adds the extra intensity and hopefulness for upcoming bond outings. Even with average storyline and bond not actually going for some big threat to world, this Skyfall takes bond legacy to sky high.
