Film Review! Skyfall

I have never been a huge James Bond fan. I have seen a few of the older films that covered all the actors
who actually played 007. These last few films with Daniel Craig have by far been the best with 'Casino
Royal' being my favorite so far. 'Skyfall' starts oddly with Bond being "shot" by Eve ( who is later revealed
to be the famous Miss Moneypenny!) and is thought dead but is actually living on some island with an
unknown woman (who remains a mystery). He returns only because someone is attacking M and the rest
of MI6. The attacker turns out to be an ex-agent ( haven't they done this before?) named Silva, very
well played by Javier Bardem. For the first time we see a male villain actually "hit" on James Bond in a
strange sexually implicated scene. Silva also gives us the best shocker in the film when he reveals a very
disturbing physical disfigurement that he is hiding very well. This scene gives Silva a very "Joker-like"
feel (next Batman film anyone?) reminiscent of Cesar Romero in the old Batman tv show, but darker. The
film goes on to give us a glimpse of James Bonds childhood and family (Skyfall is the name of his childhood
estate) as he tries to keep M alive. Good film, not the best, it has a couple of slow drag out scenes that
seem to find their way into all Bond films,but worth a look.
FINAL FILE: See It!
