Skyfall

Since Skyfall is coming out on DVD now, I thought I’d take the opportunity to talk about it.

007 movies huh? What do you think my opinion is going to be?

Let me start by saying that I was never interested in these movies. All I remember from when I was a kid was that the things James Bond could do were just too much, too unreal and as my dear father used to say, it was just “uma mentirada danada”, which translated means “just too many lies”.

After I grew up I wanted to give it a chance and see for myself what the deal with James Bond was. So I watched “Die Another Day” with Pierce Brosnan… O_o

My goodness! What a terrible movie!! It was just… ridiculous. The whole plot was awful and that did it for me. No more 007 movies!

But when they released the first trailer of “Casino Royale” I couldn’t resist and went to watch it.

Loved it!!

Yeah… I’m into these secret agent movies hehehe.

I like it a lot because, apart from the fights, which I also like by the way (no, I’m not a violent person, I just happen to like watching choreographed/fake fights), it usually has an interesting plot, a mystery to be solved. And that’s exactly the case with “Casino Royale”. In my opinion they chose the perfect actor for it.

Anyway, needless to say I changed my opinion about 007 movies… as long as they keep the same actor, that is. After that, I don’t know.

So, I watched the next one, “Quantum of Solace” and obviously I just HAD to watch Skyfall as well!

And I really, really liked it :)

It’s quite different from the previous two. It doesn’t have a lot of fights or car chases, but there’s A LOT of story. A lot of unanswered questions throughout the movie and the plot develops quite nicely. The kind that makes you want to solve the mystery.

I know this is more of a guy’s type of movie (or so I’ve been told) but I just love the whole “my name is Bond, James Bond” thing lol

So if you are also into movies like this, this is the movie for you to watch this weekend.

But if you are not… hey, here’s your chance to try something new ;)
