Did you guys know that I have only seen one Bond movie in my entire life? True story. I saw Casino Royale a few years ago for the first time and it was pretty darn good. Well, this weekend I saw Skyfall. I skipped Quantum of Solace.
Anyways, let's talk business. Skyfall. Wow. Not only was this just a freaking amazing Bond movie, this was just a freaking amazing movie altogether. How can people not love movies?! I went to this movie with pretty high expectations because it's been making bank overseas and it has received stellar reviews. This movie STILL exceeded my expectations.
The opening sequence was phenomenal. So amazing. I seriously couldn't stop smiling. Then that Adele song came on and I kept on smiling. Adele really does smooth the soul.
This movie was just so legit. I have seen a lot of movies in my life but I just have never gotten around to the Bonds, James Bonds. I don't know how anyone could do a better Bond than Daniel Craig though. He owned this show. Javier Bardem was such an awesome villain too. He was sooooo freaky, so that made the movie pretty awesome. Judi Dench plays an awesome M too. This movie was stellar.
I just couldn't believe how good it really was. I had my doubts going in, but this movie is one heckava ride. Go. Nowwwww.
Go yesterday.
K so I like reading your reviews cuz I never go see movies and if I do, it's gotta be something good. I'm glad you liked it but is it conventional for a movie reviewer to discuss what kind of violence/nudity/language to expect? I'd like to see more of that.
ReplyDeleteHi Alisa! Thanks sooooo much for reading still even though I'm sporadic writer! I used to write more about how much violence, nudity, and language to expect, (see my first post about Easy A) and I may still do that, but then I went away from that. I may go back to it, but I just felt like I wasn't the right person to be the judge! Here's an AWESOME website to check out though.... www.kidsinmind.com, which gives an idea of how much trashiness to expect in movies. As for this one, it was pretty clean! Bond movies are known, I'm told, for their sex and stuff but this was really clean in my J Traas opinion. As for violence--there is a lot of violence, but it's legit in my opinion. I didn't find that offensive, either. But like I said, check out that other website. It'll fill you in better! Thanks again for reading!
