A LATE REVIEW OF SKYFALL






 Due to the hype of Skyfall I decided to watch it (what a disappointment). I was very confused at what the directors wear thinking with some of the scenes. Firstly, they started with a scene that showed contradiction with our knowledge of MI6. MI6 is a secret intelligence agency and what we saw there was an amateur car chase as messy as a baby’s diaper. Secondly, remember the Bond girls James Bond has had in history? Unfortunately this time history didn’t repeat itself. The previous experience of the American actress Denise Richards in The World Is Not Enough to Halle Berry in Die Another Day compared to this year's Naomi Harris didn’t live up to the part. Thirdly, the movie took too long to start, I don’t know whether it was because of a deal they had with Adele because we probably listen to the whole song. After the long wait the only exciting thing was when Javier Bardem took his false teeth off, which was a minute out of a 143 minute movie. I’m truly disappointed that a person who won a Golden Globe Award directed a movie of that nature and that a woman of Judi Dench’s calibre can star in it. I've watched a 248 minute movie (The Lord of the Rings) that I am sure to repeat, but I shall not be caught dead repeating this one. I would rate Skyfall at 4/10; and only because it has Daniel Craig.  It is disappointing that 92% of the reviews were positive.
