How To Deal With Skyfall

How To Deal With......Skyfall

                                                

By now everyone has heard of and loved Skyfall, James Bonds 23rd outing, directed by Sam Mendes and starring Daniel Craig as James Bond and Adele singing the epic theme song, which has been the subject of many cringeworthy puns that I will not create eyerolls by repeating.

The film follows Bond as he deals with what can only be described as a mega mid-life crisis. Which when you think about is more justified than buying a sports car or dating much younger women considering he gets shot during an amazing action sequence in the first 10 minutes.

Oh yeah.......... This includes spoilers....*Awkward silence* but if you haven't seen this film yet then there is something SERIOUSLY wrong with you.

Anyway the film revolves around Bond's recovery and rebirth as an older wiser agent and features him doing what he does best. Daniel Craig proves he can do much more than waddle out of the ocean in this darker, smarter role as 007 - seriously there is more angst in the first hour of this film than the first 4 series of Skins - and he is complimented by a fine supporting cast. With a new Q, a new Moneypenny and a new M, the whole team is bigger and badder and definitely deserves to be after facing the villain Silva played by Javier Bardem who manages to pull of the very unhinged but smart villain which is better than previous ones who seem like Sharpay from High School Musical compared to this mastermind.

Naturally all the things that make Bond the number 1 of being awesome, Ethan Hunt and Jason Bourne can suck it, and only equaled by Indiana Jones *Heavenly Music* are included in the movie like beating up thugs, fast cars and killer action sequences, women and one of those women dying...........Not one of the things that make it great but you get the drift. 

The only thing that would make this movie greater would be being given free food and one of the cars 007 gets to drive just so you can sit in the garage and feel the fan blowing on your face. Yeah I'm too young to drive so that's as good as it gets. 

Anyway instead of my usual three things, I'm only going to give you two reasons to watch Skyfall.

1)  It is easily the best Bond film yet and is just all degrees of amazing.

2) I told you to.
