I finally got to see Skyfall on saturday after it was all booked out last weekend, and wow was it worth the wait. I'd spent all of my week nights catching up on other films I hadn't seen in the Bond series and after watching most of those my favourite was still the first one I'd watched (Casino Royale) because it felt like a really complete Bond film, a journey from Bond becoming a rough new 007 to at the end becoming the geniune article, but Skyfall goes even further and feels like an even more complete journey into the character than Casino Royale does. Skyfall sticks in my mind after viewing like none of the other films do, it's a real journey of character with us seeing Bond out of sorts and slowly pulling himself back up again, but at the same time the film still has great Bond moments all the way through the film. The start of the film was brilliant and even though I knew Bond would get shot before seeing it it still had great suspense as we were wiating for it to happen and some of the stunts were amazing. Then there was the part where Bond jumps on to the bottom of the elevator and the suspense where it really feels like his body isn't fit enough for him to hang on, and the fight after that was awesome when he drops the killer from the skyscraper. I loved how Eve keeps Bond from sleeping with her for the whole film so it makes sense for her to be Moneypenny at the end and I loved how M's job is more focused on so we really see her as a human being who tries her best but makes mistakes and the part where she is reading out the verse about heroic people with her job and her life on the line while Bond is sprinting through the streets to save her was one of the best parts in all of the Bond films, I almost felt like standing up it was such a powerful moment. Silva was a brilliant bad guy, he was really creepy but very human at the same time and we understand his character a lot just like all of the others. The action was epic but not in a too fast and blury way like Quantum Of Solace was, and Bond chasing Silva through London's tunnels was brilliant. I could go on all day about this film it was such a complete Bond film and I can't wait to see it again, I can't get the film out of my head and what was really clever about it was that they don't use M dying to keep the film stuck in your head, her death was very reallistic and done in a not very sentimental way so what really sticks in your head is the journey of Bond in the film and it makes it so exciting to wait for the next film with the good new characters coming back like the new Q, the new M and the new Moneypenny so it's a great film but leaves you feeling that the next film will be even greater. What a perfect Bond film, even better than I ever hoped it would be and before I go I shouldn't forget to say how brilliant Daniel Craig is in this film, he blows all of the other Bonds away in this film, he's the complete James Bond and even in a film like this with so many great characters and actors he still stands out as a really brilliant James Bond.
