Skyfall movie


The latest movie of James Bond, the famous 007 agent of MI6 hit the cinemas last week and of course, I was one of those who was willing to stand on a long queue just for a ticket or two. Heard that this is the first 007 movie made for Imax screen, but after serious consideration, I opted for the normal one. I always have this dizzy-like-headache after watching an Imax...I could hardly enjoy the movie while trying so hard to contain my nauseous ‎​=.=! pheω...‎​⊙﹏⊙

Daniel Craig, as 007 (I always prefer Pierce Brosnan...he is manlier and sexier *winking*) opened the movie with an intense catch-me-kill-me action in Turky. Apparently MI6 lost a very sensitive information to someone called Patrice and 007, partnered up with female agent Eve, were sent to retrieve the data back. As usual, the chasing involved motorcycles on small and crowded alleys, ended up with 007 unintentionally was shot by Eve while 007 was wrestling with Patrice on the train.

While 007 (went awol - leisury spending his time in between of woman and liquor - we couldn't talk about Bond without his involvement with some sexy women and Martini - it is his trademark LOL) was assumed to be dead, MI6 continued to face terror and threat by someone, who apperently know the MI6 very well, plus internal conflict as well. Until the MI6's head office was blown into bits, then 007 made his return. His loyalty to M (Judi Dench) was put on the test, when the truth (of M' white lies?) were revealed one by one. However, 007 still put his trust wholeheartily on M and vice versa.

Given a clue, 007 killed Patrice in China and was lead to Silva (Javier Bardem), the person who hired Patrice. Silva was used to be the most trusted agent of M, until he was 'abandoned' by M due to several consideration. It turned out that Silva was the son of M, and he was on his personal vandetta agaisnt his mom. To protect M, 007 brought her to his childhood house @Skyfall, an old manor in Scotland which gave out the mysterious and gloomy atmosphere yet strikingly beautiful in an odd way. Somehow, seeing this manor reminded me of Wuthering Height, the famous literature of Emily Bronte. Here, @Skyfall, the last battle between Silva and 007, between the bad and the good guy...between what you choose to believe.

I like this Bond movie, especially the refreshing Ben Whishaw as Q, the snob, smart yet cute new superintendent of Q department. However, unlike the previous movies of Bond, here, there were no fancy fast cars, no explosive pen, no other advance gadget (๑'⌣'๑)づ A very humble version of Bond LOL
Anyway, I enjoyed this movie a lot and I hope you too. So...let's be like the Bond...who works hard...but plays hard too. Cheers
