Okay, I didn't see this in the theater. In fact, I just saw it on Netflixs.
Skyfall, although not the worst it's not exactly a typical Bond film.
Daniel Craig was fair. Not great. He didn't have the expected humor
or play on words that Connery, Moore or Bronson had. Perhaps the
writers could be blamed. The villain, Silva, was hardly a Bond villain. In
fact, he was quite sickening. There was none of the megalomania that
was expected in a Bond villain. He was a punk thug at best.
Not the worst Bond flick, "Her Majesty's Secret Service" gets that claim.
Lazenby should have never been cast.
Oh, and Q. What a dork. There was no meaningful banter between the
two and his involvement in the script was lame at best. Pop
culture-esque defines his role, which means clueless or "scuse me,
I'm texting my experience at Micky D's". Shameful.
Lastly, why was the traditional scene of James walking by, turning and
shooting (with the blood dripping) at the end of the movie? It's supposed
to be at the beginning and always introduces the first action sequence.
Did the director ever see a Bond film?
What was the purpose of destroying the iconic Astin Martin DB-5?
ACK!
To some, and this isn't a put down. I don't find him funny. A couple of
days ago I watched several clips, maybe 30 minutes, of him and I only
giggled at best. He isn't my kind of comedian. I like Jonathan Winters
most of all and a majority of the old comedians who used timing, i.e.
Jack Benny, Red Skelton, Milton Berle, Bob Hope, George Burns, Don
Rickles and Johnny Carson. They allowed the audience to create an image
in their mind instead of having it drawn out for them. I like Robin Williams
on occasion and when he can't use profanity. Some of his fans try to
use the "he's over your head" approach, but he's not. He's easy to
read.
As far as I'm concerned a good comedian allows the audience to think
for itself and create an image instead of having it drawn out for them.
