Skyfall
Rating = B
The early chase and
fight scenes are terrific. Then there are some slow scenes while we wait for 007 to
recover from being shot and then to get more or less fit again and to meet some new
characters. Then there some fights and chases (in a tall building, in a casino, through
tunnels with a train wreck, and finally a big explosive shootout in a barren landscape in
Scotland). These latter fights, chases and shootouts are more conventional. There are
some plot twists impacting the long history of the series: “50 Years” it says during
the credits, with apparently more to come.
