Skyfall (2012) - My Last!
 |
| ★★☆☆☆ |
In case you don’t know, Skyfall is a mansion in Scotland where
little Bond grew up with his family, but don’t expect it to be like ‘Batman
Begins’ or stuff so that we might get to know how little Bond becomes big Bond.
This 23rd (why people haven’t got fed up yet) Bond film is still
about how Bond always seems to be able to hook up a girl and find a way out
before finally getting his job, maybe not perfectly, but absolutely finished
anyhow. He must be, like the film suggests, the last rat standing, no matter
how invincible and fearsome the villain appears to be, this time played by
Javier Bardem. What a waste of his talent and charisma in acting indeed. ‘Skyfall’
is nothing but a carefree action film, and you know what, carefree action films
suck.
I’m never a fan of 007 series. Not fond of films starring Daniel
Craig either. The reason why I checked out ‘Skyfall’ is that it’s gained
positive reviews from critics worldwide. Turned out there’s nothing exciting
about it, the actions exaggerated and boring, the story dragged out and clichéd,
the performances disappointing. The only thing I like about it probably is the
music. For the first time I jumped in the cinema for a Bond film, as I was
interested to know how different Daniel Craig could be as the new Bond. I wasn’t
impressed though. ‘Skyfall’ is his third, considered his best thus far. Sure he’ll
go on and on, but I consider it my last!
