Skyfall: Bond getting Darker!

Bond: 007 reporting for duty.
M: Where the hell have you been?  

Bond: Enjoying death!

50th year of Bond Movies, must be marked with a legendary story to tell.

I haven't been a Pierce Brosnan fan of Bond Movies. When I was growing up Pierce Brosnan was releasing a Bond movie every 2-3 years, but none would enthrall me. It was when Pierce Brosnan actually signed off from Bond franchise, it gained my attention. I thought, ok, here is something new. This guy looks different. He doesn't have the charm of Pierce Brosnan, he looks more like a spoiled millionaire. He was Daniel Craig, much intense, rarely smiling, dialogues rather smaller than Pierce Brosnan had got. He got more action, more athletic, less gadgets, would kill people by just beating with bare hands. He got cruel, more cunning and cold heart.

Skyfall starts with a chase which is a signature start of Daniel Craig's James Bond portrayal. And from the first moment of the movie, you are on a ride with him. One would wonder what is the age of James Bond?

Like every Bond movie, the Antagonist should be equally strong, he must be so evil that even Bond would have to take a gasp.Javier Bardem portrays that evil antagonist, he is epitome of baddest man you would ever see. At one point I actually remembered the Joker of Christopher Nolan if Javier Bardem has taken notes from it. But please don't think that I am comparing the two characters. They are all from different universe altogether. So coming back to the point, the antagonist has to be bad to make the protagonist suffer. He has to have a upper hand always. And that happens here as well. 

Re-entry of Q (portrayed by Ben Whishaw, I was actually excited to know that he would be part of this movie) has got a good effect in the movie, M has got comparatively larger role than the previous movies, Bond Girl(s) (Bérénice Marlohe and Naomie Harris) have been equally good and they have got good chemistry with Bond. And since the story goes to roots of Bond, his origin, this movie becomes special.

London tube's display and Turkey's presence with Scotland's portrayal in the movie adds to its artistic sense. Beautiful Aston Martin getting blown up actually irked me, as I was in love with that beauty.

So, don't wait, go and enjoy the movie! It has got some sarcastic humor as well (like all Bond Movies). at IMDB, movie is already with 8.5 ratings so I am no one to tell you what rating it deserves. People have already termed it finest till date. 

And yeah, Adele's song is so good, it actually sets up the Skyfall's theme and story. You would love it. I am in love with it and would be listening it all night!

Let the sky fall, when it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
At skyfall!
