Skyfall

I like James Bond. And I like the direction the producers have taken with series and Daniel Craig (The Golden Compass), whom I also like but I haven't decided if he can actually act (but certainly is nice to look at and I think is the best Bond since Sean Connery (Finding Forrester, 2000)).

The new characters introduced are positive additions - Ralph Fiennes (whom I liked in the ultra fluffy Maid in Manhattan that I'm sure he'd like to forget), the new 'Q' Ben Whishaw and Naomie Harris (the latter two with whom I'm not familiar). And Albert Finney (A Good Year - see my review) plays his usual self.

A few new twists, but the movie follows the Bond formula. I was surprised that it dragged about three-quarters of the way in. And I also had the constant feeling that the British travel board (or whomever) was paying a sponsorship for beautiful vistas of London or elsewhere in Britain. Still, an enjoyable romp that I would see again.
