skyfall (2012). directed by sam mendes.


i won't iterate the story here because i am sure pretty much everyone had already watched this movie. what i am missing is, how is it that it got hailed as the best bond movie ever? why? is it because people haven't seen much of javier bardem? talking to my brothers about it, they opined that this movie is in between casino royale (2006) and quantum of solace (2008). they don't like the fact that bond is no longer rebellious and willing to sacrifice for queen and country (especially the after fact that MI6 tried to burn him..well never mind). i just find the story straight forward, nothing special really. the action sequences is..err..too much at times. trains destroying tunnels and helicopters crashing into gothic houses are the stuff that could only make one person proud, and that is micheal bay. 

having watched all three movies, i actually liked quantum of solace (2008) better than this movie.
