Review of Skyfall

Skyfall (2012)
6/10
I was bit bored

The saga of the Bond film franchise might have moved on since the 1990s first with Pierce Brosnan and then Daniel Craig stepping into the shoes left by the former and Skyfall was his third outing as 007. The film techniques too have moved on but it wasn't always a perfect arrangement here and sometimes it gets too technical as Sam Mendes overdirects this one. It was a similar case sometimes with John Glen when he directed all five Bond films in the 1980s but the technical way of film making in that decade was very different. On Skyfall, the film-makers again have simply lost the plot and the story is considered to be rather jumbled, very confusing and difficult to follow and thanks to the techniques, the stunts are much more lethal than ever. Even Judy Dench in her last outing as M seems to be irritating and more contemptible than ever as Bond struggles to protect her only just by smuggling her to a extremely bleak and remote Scottish mansion makes no sense. I did have some positive hopes for Skyfall and why the critics choice? But no, it just gets increasingly desperate and very boring.
