Sooo… …What To Say About The JAMES BOND Adventure “SKYFALL” (2012)???
Well…
…Honestly…
…I LOVED IT.
Period.
I Enjoyed The Ever-Living-Hell Out Of It, To Be Fo SHO.
It Was New.
It Was Fresh.
It Was Unlike Any JAMES BOND Adventure I’d Ever Had The Privilege Of Seeing Before.
I Kept Trying To Make Comparisons To Other BOND Flicks As I Watched Along…
…And I Sincerely Found That Next To Bloody Impossible.
But I Did…
…I Tried To Muster All My Powers, Madams And Misters.
And I Simply Couldn’t Do It.
That’s Just How Fresh And Engrossing This Adventure…
“SKYFALL“
…Actually Was.
It Had Some Elements Of…
“DR. NO“
…And…
“FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE“
…But Also Some…
“LICENCE TO KILL“
…And Even A Little…
“GOLDENEYE“
…Yet…
…In The End…
…It Was EXACTLY What I Wanted…
…It Was JAMES BOND As I’d NEVER Seen Him Before!!!
KUDOS, Movie Makers…
…KUDOS, INDEED!!!
😀
They Totally Just Went For It.
They Totally Just Went Off The Map.
They Totally Just Sold Me That JAMES BOND Does Indeed Continue To Live Onward Into The 21ST-Century…
…And He Has Plenty Of Room To Grow Grow GROW!!!
Now How The Hell Could One Ask For More Than That?!?!?
EXACTLY, My Peeps!!!
You Couldn’t.
They Gave Us What We Wanted…
…And Even A Little Bit More.
It Was Tough.
It Was Gritty.
It Was Edgy.
It Was Drama Filled AND Action Packed.
It Was Cold AND Dark…
…Yet…
…Retained Its Sense-Of-Humor.
It Was NOT…
“CASINO ROYALE“
…Nor…
“QUANTUM OF SOLACE“
…It Was Its Own.
It Was Imaginative.
It Had Its Twists And Turns.
In Short…
…It Was THE BEST BOND FLICK In The Past 30 YEARS.
PERIOD.
For ME…
“SKYFALL“
…Ranks Right Up There With…
“FOR YOUR EYES ONLY“
(My Fave Fave)
…And…
“THUNDERBALL“
(The Best BOND Adventure)
!!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!!
It Was THAT Good, My Peeps.
JAVIER BARDEM
…Was Twisted…
…Was Evil…
…Was Believable…
…Was A SPOT-ON-PERFECT BOND-BADDIE.
I Don’t Think They Could Have Cast His Part Any Better.
And I Do Believe That…
DANIEL CRAIG
…Totally Cemented Himself As OUR BOND…
…As MY BOND…
…As THE BEST BOND.
He Impressed The Shit Out Of Me, My Peeps.
So…
…All-In-All…
…It Was Worth It, My Peeps.
I Don’t Hit The Theater Too Often Anymore.
The Price And The Hassle Have Simply Tarnished The Experience For Me.
It’s Sad…
…But It’s True…
…And I Feel It’s The Same Way For A Lot Of Y’all.
“SKYFALL“
…To ME…
…Was TOTALLY WORTH ALL OF IT!
If You’re Going To Hit-Up The Big Screen For ANYTHING This Fall…
…Well Then…
“SKYFALL“
…Should Be That Flick.
PERIOD PERIOD.
Do I Think It’s “THE BEST BOND ADVENTURE” Of Them All?
No.
Was This “MY FAVORITE BOND ADVENTURE” Of Them All?
No.
Could Either Of Those Statements Be Easily Argued, And Potentially Overturned?!
YES YES YES, INDEED!!!
I’ll Close By Simply Saying This…
…If You LOVE LOVE LOVE JAMES BOND…
…You’ll Simply LOVE LOVE LOVE…
“SKYFALL“
!!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!!
!!! !!! !!!

What’s On NOW!?!: “FOR YOUR EYES ONLY” (1981) Starring ROGER MOORE As JAMES BOND 007!!!
The Best Of The Best Of The Bunch.
That’s How I Categorize This Flick…
“FOR YOUR EYES ONLY“
(1981)
…Starring…
ROGER MOORE
…As…
JAMES BOND – 007
…In What Would Be His Fifth BOND Adventure.
They Say The Third Time’s The Charm…
…And For ROGER…
…The Third Time Was More Of A Staple-Point In The World That Is JAMES BOND.
His Third Adventure…
“THE SPY WHO LOVED ME“
(1977)
…Really Cemented ROGER As BOND.
It Was His Best To Date…
…And The Best BOND Adventure Up To That Point.
I Loved It.
And Then I Saw This One…
“FOR YOUR EYES ONLY“
…And I Was Totally Sold.
It Is…
…By Far Far FAR…
…The Best BOND Of Them All.
At Least…
…In This Blogger’s Humble Opinion.
I Honestly Don’t Know What All To Say Here.
I’ve Been In A Decent Mood…
…I’ve Just Felt Like Arse.
What More Can Be Said?
I’m Just In Pure BOND Mode, Today.
I Have All Of His Adventures On The DVD…
…But Only A Few On The Blu-ray.
I Only Purchased The Ones I Love The Most…
…And That Were Available At The Time.
Mainly…
…Those Available Were…
PIERCE BROSNAN
…BOND Adventures…
…Of Which Only One…
“GOLDENEYE“
(1995)
…Is On My Target List.
I Simply Love…
“GOLDENEYE“
…Though That’s The Only BROSNAN Flick I Can Honestly Say That About.
Anyway…
…I’m Going To Get Back To Watching…
“FOR YOUR EYES ONLY“
…And Once It’s Over, I’m Going To Watch…
“THUNDERBALL“
(1965)
…Which Is My Fave Fave From…
SEAN CONNERY
!!! !!!
I Know Everyone Says…
“GOLDFINGER“
(1964)
"You Jivin' Me, Turkey?"
