Released last
week, the twenty-third installment to the James Bond phenomenon, Skyfall
celebrates 50 years of Bond. The Bond series is today as British as bacon
sandwiches, cream teas and red double decker buses. With our latest Bond,
Daniel Craig, accompanying The Queen in her grand entrance into the Olympic
Opening Ceremony. From this unorthodox arrival all eyes where on Bond, the buzz
had begun and the globe was hungry for a fresh Bond fix. The latest instalment does not disappoint and takes the Bond franchise to a new pinnacle of quality.
Glittered with high-flying top stars, the
Skyfall credits give any A-List guest list a run for its money. Directed by Sam
Mendes and starring Dame Judi Dench, Daniel Craig, Ralph Fiennes, Albert
Finney, Berenice Marlohe, Naomie Harris to name but a few. Also boasting a
star-studded Leicester Square premiere to match, with guests including Rachel
Weisz, Kelly Brooke, Tess Daly and Tamara Ecclestone.
From the moment the iconic theme tune
boomed through the cinema with the opening credits, we knew 007 was back with
vengeance! Immediately immersed in the action, the film begins with a car,
motorbike and train chase across the rooftops of Istanbul in which Bond is in
hot pursuit of the stolen hard drive containing a list of MI6 special agents.
The plot follows the mission to track down the villain who has penetrated the
MI6 computer system and planted a bomb in the department’s Millbank HQ that
leads them underground.
Arguably the best bond yet, Skyfall contains
every magic ingredient audiences lush for – special effects, storybook
villains, fast paced chases, exotic eastern locations, beautiful Bond girls,
Daniel Craig steaming with sex appeal, flawless acting from Judi Dench for the
7th time, a smart, savvy and sarcastic sense of humor and more
excitement and energy than ever before!
Aston Martins, pyrotechnics and heart
stopping action scenes leave you hanging to your seat and holding your breath
throughout. Concluding for the first time ever, the final credits confidently
suggest another film coming soon.
From a group of girls with no great
interest in male orientated action films, we give Skyfall a outstanding 10/10,
and that’s saying something when our primary motive was to stare mindlessly
into the piercing eyes of Daniel Craig.
