Ian Flemming’s James Bond 007 in Skyfall
This movie is good but not what I wanted. The opening is killer despite one of my mortal enemies singing the song. It has amazing cinematography and probably the least cockamamie Bond story plot to date. It’s straight forward, well executed and has probably my favorite villain of all but…I expected something crazier than Quantum of Solace. QOS was bat country crazy while Skyfall felt watered down by comparison. Skyfall is a new pair of Armani slacks. Classy, clean, sophisticated. But it couldn’t overpower its predecessor which was a pair of cheetah print, exploding pants.
