The best JB (though havent seen No Time to Die yet)

Reviewed in Australia on 14 November 2021

Verified Purchase

Whats not to like? Daniel Craig, a Scottich castle and the most sadistic creepy villain of them all. Ok it took me a while to watch it a second time because of who dies (no spoiler) but that adds to the depth (not a usual word Id use for JB films though DC has changed that).

Great intro in Mexico. The moral dilemma faced by those in command and the impact of those decisions on its own people. Interesting discussion the good of the many versus protection of the one.

Strikes a good balance between exciting action scenes and a real look at what makes Bond Bond

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 July 2016

The Craig Bond films manage the surprising feat of being true to both the novels' and the movies' legacies, and at the heart of John Logan's script for Skyfall is a good idea (apparently a leftover from Peter Morgan's abandoned treatment that was put on hold when MGM/UA went into bankruptcy, delaying the film by two years): everything we associate with Bond and his past is reintroduced and taken from him or destroyed before the classic Bond is resurrected in a way that's true to both the novels and the films. Where Casino Royale went back to the very beginning, Skyfall uses a lot of both the darker plot of the novel The Man with the Golden Gun (a washed out Bond returns from the dead and is sent on a mission that will either redeem him or conveniently see him killed off) and the siege finale of Fleming's (rather than EON's) Spy Who Loved Me and reworks them for the present day.

In many ways the film is a journey into the past, starting out as an epic globe-trotting adventure before scaling down to Bond's childhood Scottish roots and finally bringing the series full circle with Moneypenny back in the same blue dress she wore in Dr No and M no longer in a hi-tech office but the old wood-panelled one with the same padded door and the same naval painting on the wall from the Bernard Lee days, rewinding the series to the Connery era. If hats were still in fashion, Craig would have made his entrance throwing his onto the hat stand. It's a deliciously understated scene that goes uncommented on - thankfully the film never feels the need to knowingly wink at the audience - that will have Bond fans of old feeling like a puppy dog with two tails. And the new faces as the old regulars (Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw) may be very different from their predecessors, but they fit very nicely with this new/old Bond.

Unfortunately, on the minor debit side Logan has always had a bit of a problem with his villains. He can do plot or milieu or character, but he can't really pull off any combination of the three with his bad guys, and while this is a bit of an improvement he does fall back on the tried and trusted. In Gladiator he offered a mad lisping Emperor with a chip on his shoulder betraying the people who put him in a position of trust to pursue a vendetta with a brother figure. In Star Trek: Nemesis he offered a petulant lisping mastermind with a chip on his shoulder betraying the people who put him in a position of trust to pursue a vendetta with a father figure. In Skyfall he offers us a devious lisping mastermind with a chip on his shoulder betraying the people who put him in a position of trust to pursue a vendetta with a mother figure. All he needs now is someone with a lisp pursuing a vendetta with a sister figure and he'll have the full set of immediate family adversaries.

On the plus side, this villain is intelligent and actually has a masterplan instead of just talking about one, even if it is one that at times suggests he's a bit of a fan of The Dark Knight, and he's played by a much better actor, though that is something of a double-edged sword. Despite being given a great build up - the slight physical trembling and almost-disguised weakening of the voice Severine gets even thinking about him is a wonderfully underplayed appetiser - he's a rather thin character, leaving Javier Bardem trying too hard to make a memorable impression with the kind of quirks that great actors who are persuaded to make more commercial fodder than they're at home in throw into the mix to keep themselves from getting bored (think Brando on his off days).

It's a bit of a letdown considering what Bardem is capable of, but for some reason every time an Oscar winning actor who can do menace gets a sniff of a Bond villain they dye their hair blonde and camp it up. Thankfully he doesn't go the full John Inman, but the film is strong enough not to need the theatricality or the absurdly bit of obvious CGI thrown in to his Hannibal Lector scene. While he doesn't ruin the film, I think the performance is why the film hasn't grabbed my affections the way Quantum did even though they improved the problem areas from that: I found Mathieu Almaric a far more intriguing villain because he wasn't playing the villain, he was playing the good guy (or at least ecologically aware businessman), and his scheme less reliant on an almost supernatural ability to predict the good guys' every move years in advance. And while I liked the exploration of M's ruthlessness, her departure didn't have the same impact as that of Mathis in Quantum.

While it's pleasing to have Stuart Baird, quite possibly the greatest editor of action scenes alive today, back in the editing suite after the often misjudged editing in Quantum it's a shame that composer David Arnold was replaced with Thomas Newman, who astonishingly became the first in the series' history to be nominated for best score despite a truly anonymous temp track-style score with no personality, themes or development (although it works much better on the film than as an album where it's derivative general shapelessness is much more exposed).

Curiously the Blu-ray exaggerates what were many of the niggles about Roger Deakins' lazily overvalued cinematography (you do get the impression that had the identical images been created by a cinematographer who wasn't a name it would have attracted little attention), with many scenes like the Board of Inquiry or London street scenes suffering from the lack of depth, slightly bleached look and waxy loss of detail that are among the most commonplace drawbacks when you don't shoot on film. It's strange that Deakins got a free pass on this one when the move from film to digital has had such inconsistent results both in terms of quality and creativity: it's a mixture of a few strikingly good looking scenes (the Chris Doyle/Blade Runnerish fight against a neon background) and a lot of very drab or visually clichéd ones (seriously, that relentlessly dreary rainy London look has been done to death for years by television) while there are some real problems with focus and colour balance in the opening to the Macau casino scene and parts of the siege suffer badly from digital's ongoing inability to handle shadows and low light levels very well. It's a long way from his best work, and to claim, as some have done, that it's the best looking Bond film is doing a great disservice to the work of Freddie Young and Ted Moore on earlier, much better looking films. It doesn't help that there's some very noticeable edge enhancement in places - the doorframe to M's office and his picture frames look like a straining rope or teeming with termites from one frame to the next.

Yet while its flaws keep it from reaching the heights of Casino Royale, there's so much to enjoy and so much it gets right and strikes such a good balance between exciting action scenes and a real look at what makes Bond Bond that it's still a worthy addition to the franchise - not top tier, but certainly no middling effort either.

The extras package looks substantial - two audio commentaries, some 15 featurettes and trailer - but at times there's more puff than substance.

MY SON WAS THRILLED

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 May 2019

Skyfall was the film that made my son fall in love with James Bond. I wrongfully sold his normal DVD and he was gutted. I decided to replace it with this Skyfall steelbook version and he was thrilled and our father son relationship saved. Came with 2 DVD's and a set of 8 postcards which he hasn't opened, wanting to preserve them forever. A great film, a great son and an excellent life saving mission achieved with this steelbook edition.

50th anniversary and all

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 April 2014

Verified Purchase

Well here it is Daniel Craigs third outing as 007 and the 50th birthday of the Franchise.
So theres lots of subtle and not so subtle winks to the past 50 years in this film.
Shame they destroyed the DB5 but then again they did in its first outing as well - Goldfinger,

I suppose the argument will always rage as to who plays the best Bond, for most it will always be Connery he was after all the first (on the big screen anyway) and therefore has that distinct advantage. But for me Daniel Craig brings a true hard grit no nonscence portrayal to Bond much the way Fleming actually wrote the character.

My one disappointment with Skyfall like some other reviewers have said is the anti-climax at the end an unseen Bond throws a knife into Silva's back surely he (Silva) deserved a better ending than that.

Best of all though as the credits role BOND WILL RETURN

Fantastic.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 March 2013

Waiting with baited breadth for this to come out so I could watch it on our big screen in Blu Ray. Sadt down, cranked-up the surround sound and enjoyed every minute. Turned to my wife to say how fantastic it was and ..... she was fast asleep! Talk about Boyd Films and Girl's films. When she woke-up - for the last 10 minutes, she asked... 'Why is he doing that?' Is he a baddy? what's happening now? Oh I don't understand these films!!!!

Viewing Suggestion:
A mate or two with similar taste in films, a bottle of good red, a large bowl of peanuts.

It's Bond, with all that one would expect. Very sad to see teh DB5 (or model of this) being destroyed, STUPID having Bond drinking BEER and then out of the bottle - product placement!!!! For goodness sake, he is a sophisticated English spy who is renowned for his taste in Champers, beautiful women and Dry Martinis. None of which, in this film, we were treated to.

Bond with a twist

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 February 2014

Verified Purchase

I am a huge Bond fan and have really enjoyed the way Daniel Craig has been a bit of a hard man Bond compared to say Brosnan who was more suave. Craig looks like he could dish out a beating like Connery.

This is not your usual Bond full of tricks and wizardry and one liners a plenty, it's more a case of Bond being in a bad place and not the agent he was before and fighting for redemption.

The bad guy is pretty cool and plays his role well. Overall I would say this is my second favourite Daniel Craig Bond film behind Casino Royale but above Quantum of Boredom sorry I mean Solace.

One thing that I found annoying was even though it's triple play with blu-ray when I redeemed my purchase with iTunes I thought I would get the HD version but instead got the standard definition copy. Thought they could have at least given you the HD copy!
