Movies: Skyfall (Bond 23)

It's the 50th anniversary of an icon. He's suave, he's charismatic, he's...

Not afraid to beat the snot out of you.

He's Bond.

James Bond.

Sorry. Had to.

Skyfall is the 23rd installment in the James Bond franchise, and Daniel Craig returns as 007 for the third time. I personally think Craig does a great job as Bond, but I'm not sure if I'm biased since I've only seen this movie, its predecessor, Quantum of Solace, and about 3/4 of Craig's first Bond film, Casino Royale.

Maybe I'm not fit to review a movie in a series so timeless.

Maybe I don't really care. I do what I want.

One thing I'd like to point out is something I found pretty funny in this film. Keeping up with the times I guess, Bond (tied to a chair AGAIN) is hit on by a man, and he totally keeps his cool. It had me thinking "Uh... Where is this going?" I mean, hey- good for you, Mr. Bond. Gettin' the ladies AND the gentlemen. 

But I have to say it was one of the creepiest things ever.

It was great.

"Let me see your scar. LOLJK Let me see those pecs. DAMN."

Another thing that caught my attention was the fact that Voldemort got his nose back! And an attitude!

Bitch needed to HOP OFF in this movie. 

If I were M, I would have slapped him upside the head.

"GTFO VOLDIE I COULD TAKE YOU"

Oh and there was a lot of Bond standing and staring.

You get the point.

But seriously. Skyfall definitely did not disappoint. As someone who isn't the biggest Bond fan, I can sincerely say that there wasn't a dull moment. It wasn't jam-packed with action, but everything made sense and fell into place. When there were serious dialogue scenes, they were intense. When there was action, it was most definitely badass.

It was getting a little stuffy in that train anyway.

So I definitely recommend this movie. Whether you're a fan of Bond or not, this movie can appeal to anyone. For the ladies, Daniel Craig is shirtless in basically every other scene. He's the Taylor Lautner of these movies. For the guys, there's the hot girls, and for the freaky people there are deformed nostrils.

Now you won't be able to NOT notice that.

Javier Bardem does an excellent job as a total whack-job.

He's also the guy who tries to feel up James Bond.

You're welcome, America.

Go see Skyfall. You won't be disappointed.
