Film Review - Skyfall

Not what I have come to expect from a Bond movie at all, but very good. Instead of coming out remembering the big action set-pieces (of which there are many, all impressive), I came out remembering the smaller, character moments. Bardem especially makes for a superb villain, although he is rather under-used, introduced over half-way through. Nice to see the subtle re-integration of some of the old franchise staples. However, one unfortunate plot twist has made me far less enthusiastic for the next one. Unless they can talk Sam Mendes into coming back to direct. I am prepared to wait.
