Caution: This Might Contain Spoilers!
If you enjoy my blog, you may enjoy my facebook page!

This film is based off the character created by Ian Fleming (1953). This film follows agent 007. An accident left James Bond injured, and assumed dead. Bond returns to help protect MI6, and M. 

This film was directed by Sam Mendes. This film harkens back to the classic James Bond films. It keeps the technological gadgets simple, and familiar to classic Bond. This film does take a risk in probing more into agent 007's back story and his relationship with M. This film is familiair to classic Bond, but it is also very different. The throwbacks to the classic films was great to try and catch. The opening digital sequence wasn't the best in the 23rd film series. The song was also very different from other Bond film taking a more grim perspective. The story is very deep and depends more on its story than its action. The ending of the film is more emotionally deep than major ultimate fight sequence. This film also boasts a lot of comedic one liners. The action sequences were simpler, but highly effective. It was also great to see a James Bond film without any over the top fancy gadgets. The Bond girls were interesting in this film. It had all different versions of girls in this film, and it worked for the film.

The cast worked great together. Daniel Craig returned, for his third time, to his role of James Bond. He was great in this film. He did explore the emotional depths of his character while keeping him as a bad ass. Judi Dench returned to her role as M. She was great in her role. She created a unique perspective of her character. Javier Bardem played the role of Silva. He was great in his role. He played the unconventional villain. Ben Whinshaw played the role of Q. He was great in his small role. He brought back a familiar character to the film. Ralph Fiennes played the role of Gareth Mallory. He was great in his small role.

I give this film 4 out of 5 stars! It does take a risk in changing how James Bond films are presented. It takes a more emotional perspective, but keeps enough action to make the film great to watch.

Answer to last blog: Director Marcus Dunstan, The Collector, did not write the script for Saw.

Que: How many times has actress Judi Dench portrayed the role of M in the James Bond franchise?
