Skyfall
So I finally took a day off today and went to see this latest James Bond 007 flick. And... I guess I have mixed feelings. There's not much I can point to and say this was bad. And there was lots of action and some fun dry humour here and there.
But it still seems a little... off tonally. It's not like classic James Bond but its not like Craig's previous two outings either. They've dropped the Quantum arc sadly. And have a new villain who more focused on attacking MI6 directly rather than a take over the world bid.
It seemed a little slow in places but some more classic Bond Elements are creeping back in as well. And there are references in the film to 'old ways being the best' and given the final scene... well no spoilers but there's a real sense that they might want to get rid of this gritty real stuff they did for CR and go back to classic late connery/moore stuff.
So well, I'll be interested in what the new film is like
