Even though RevolutionSF hosts this blog, I know some of you may not routinely check out the main page. For y’all slackers, here’s the news that I reviewed the latest James Bond Skyfall for the site.
One of the finest James Bond installments, 2006’s magnificent Casino Royale infused an air of realism rarely seen in the previous films. Daniel Craig’s expert portrayal of the neophyte agent hearkened back to the dark, less humorous visage of Fleming’s novels. Picking up immediately after the conclusion of Royale, the disappointing Quantum of Solace paled in comparison to its predecessor, derailing much of the hoped-for future promise of the series. In the franchise’s 50th year, Craig returns for his third outing in Skyfall, a picture that successfully returns to the excitement and quality of Casino Royale.
