Review of Skyfall (2012) by Stephen I — 24 Jan 2016

While it has moments of action and thrills, Skyfall has too many holes and uneven pacing to make it memorable.

Full Review: Inexplicably overrated, Skyfall jumps between action that's only there to keep viewers from boredom and a remarkably forgettable plot that consists of Bond matching words, getting saved by magic mermaids, and ripping off home alone. Ultimately, it's hard to remember anything but the explosions and the ridiculous plot holes. The narrative itself feels like a by-the-numbers hero vs. villain story with some emotional development thrown in here and there.
