SKYFALL, or, How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Fight Like a Rat in a Barrel
What the--did I just see a big blockbuster popcorn movie that still managed to deliver some of the most stylish cinematography I've seen in recent years? I DID! Did it also have a pretty great script? IT DID! Did Javier Bardem give one of the best performances since No Country For Old Men? HE DID! Did it renew my interest in the James Bond series after a lackluster outing in Quantum of Solace, while simultaneously paying homage to the old classics while breaking new ground? IT DID!
This movie is pretty great, everybody. I give it 6 Komodo dragons out of 7.
