Skyfall Movie Review

November 25, 2012

The Daily Trash presents another installment in our haphazard series of tiny inconsequential movie reviews especially designed for the attention span challenged.

SKYFALL

Daniel Craig returns as James Bond in this gritty paired-back installment in the James Bond franchise. He encounters a flamboyant and sexually ambiguous bad guy who wants to kill M. Much shooting and fighting ensues including the obligatory gambling scene. M dies* and Bond kills the bad guy. The end.

 

Three stars.

*spoiler alert.

    I should mention that I watched this in Malaysia. At least one sex scene was heavily censored. So it’s quite possible you guys will see a completely different movie to me.

    A brief critique ….’sexually ambiguous’ needs to be fleshed out before I’ll part with the dosh.

    Well egg, without giving too much away, this is the first Bond movie to suggest that Bond might be a bit ac/dc..

    Times have certainly changed…!

    I haven’t seen this film and now I don’t have to. It’s just another value add from TDT – I’ve saved money and time!

    Thanks reb.

    Connery is still the most popular Bond, but at 44 Craig still has a chance to unseat the master.

    The punters have Daniel Craig running second, followed by Brosnan (sic) and Moore.

    Ken Branagh was on ABC1 last night in his, “Wallander”, series (“movie length” too) last one, next week … it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas …

    I thought Skyfall was a fairly boring Bond movie TB.

    I don’t know what all the fuss is about.

    A Bond movie isn’t quite the same unless some mad man wants to destroy the world.

    SKYFELL 2013

    ELECTION REVIEW

    Daniel Craig returns as Tony Abbott in this gritty paired-back installment in the Liberal Party franchise. He encounters a flamboyant and sexually ambiguous co-worker at the dispatch-box.

    Much mincing and fighting ensues including the obligatory stunt scene. H lies and Tony loses* the election. The end.

    Two stars.

    *spoiler alert.

    According to todays pbs-newshour, this movie had a `fictional` pistol/gun that would only fire for james bond (coz it could detect his palm print) and not operate in other peoples hands. Well, now they have guns/pistols with `personal` security, the operator has a wrist-watch/ipad which secures or arms the pistol, but are still working on the fingerprint biometrics version.

Go on say something, you'll feel better...
