Skyfall: An Amateur's Review

Hello dear readers.

I'm not feeling well so I'm cooped home alone while friends, family and boyfriend are at school, shops and work and work respectively. My whole body aches. Hurhurhur. Oof. Don't worry, I've swallowed multiple healing potions already. :D (Mainly water)

Anyways. I'm just chilling at home with ten thousand cups of water and looking at pictures of Skyfall and attempting to draw with little inspiration. Today, I'll be giving a short quick normal review on Skyfall.

 

Yesterday, I watched the 'latest' (yes I am a slowpoke) James Bond 007 movie, Skyfall. It was a wonderful film.

 

SKYFALL.

 I thought Skyfall was brillant in terms of plotline since I was glued to the screen and excited to find out what was going to happen next in the story. It had many cinematic elements that gripped my attention; a little action, a little sexiness, a little darkness and a little humour.

 In my opinion, the movie focused on the relationship between M and Bond and how the fine line between trust and betrayal is a very fine line indeed. Bond however remained true to M despite given multiple opportunities to defect from the service and also knowing that she was the one that gave the order to take that bloody risky shot at the beginning of the film. Should he had done so (defect), he would probably have ended up like Silva maybe?

 

Skyfall also touched a little on the feelings and emotions of Bond and a very tiny bit of his back story before he came to be who he was.

 

 The fact that the movie hinted at how the old and the young will always have different views or will always think one is better than the other was also rather amusing to watch. The chemistry in particular between Ben Whishaw and Daniel Craig was simply adorable when their characters were introduced to each other as Q and 007.

 

I found this scene hilarious.

All in all, the film gets a 4.5/5 star rating from me. (Y) Even if you aren't a James Bond fan, you would probably be impressed by this movie and would want to see more of it. (:

 

And that ends my very badly written movie review!

 

(P.s - I would just like to say Ralph Fiennes as the next M was quite a surprise for me too! I'm too used to seeing Judi Dench as M.)
