Skyfall // Review
007, the suave secret agent with Britain in his heart, blood like ice and the collective libido of plentyoffish.com.
October 6th sees the release of Daniel Craig’s third outing as 007, the suave secret agent with Britain in his heart, blood like ice and the collective libido of plentyoffish.com. Directed by academy award winner Sam Mendes, this film is released to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Bond on film, so will it live up to expectations?
It’s been six years since Casino Royale hit the screens and breathed fresh air into the franchise, and four years since Quantum of Solace followed up by showing what happens when you screw over the world’s toughest spy. This film follows on in the same gritty style as we enter into new areas of action, espionage and suggestively named sexy ladies. Finally having buried the death of Vespa deep into his cold, dead heart, Bond is now working hard racking up nectar points on his license to kill when M (played expertly again by Judi Dench) proves that it isn’t just Bond that no-one trusts, as this time he is called in to stop a surprise from her past surfacing to destroy her. To help him we are re-introduced to the character of Q, played by Ben Wishaw (who seems to have done well since playing Nathan Barley’s unfortunate pet-net-geek Pingu) and Naomie Harris as new bond girl Eve (Probably short for Evie Lover or something). Queue large-scale action chases, train crashes and machine gun suitcases as Bond gets to work in a series of cars and suits expensive enough to pay off the national debt of whichever micro-Asian country he is blowing a large hole in at the time.
With Javier Bardem (just awesome) as the bad guy, this has all the ingredients to be one of the best Bonds ever. See it in its IMAX glory before men in dark suits visit you in your sleep!
