We saw #Skyfall this afternoon at our local Showcase cinema. Very hard to say much about it without being a total spoiler.
Five non-spoiler impressions:
- Daniel Craig is a brilliant Bond, grittier and more credible than before. And he was highly credible before.
- Javier Bardem, a bad guy so bad he’s… bad!
- Brilliant new Q, the role and Ben Whishaw the actor both spot on.
- Great focus on the characters and personalities, especially M.
- Outstanding support roles by Bérénice Marlohe and Naomie Harris.
In short, a terrific audio-visual treat, a Bond movie for today that gives a great nod to the past and Ian Fleming‘s original story-telling. This preview trailer is a great taster.

I did love seeing the original Goldfinger Aston. What a car!
Btw, terrific feature in Telegraph Motoring on that car and others in Skyfall. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/columnists/neil-lyndon/9641148/Been-expecting-a-good-car-Mr-Bond.html
