We’ve been waiting long enough to write it
so here it is, Unique Client Solutions’ review of Skyfall!
Normally before the release of big films
with a lot of hype we’re a little apprehensive. Will it live up to our
expectations? With Skyfall we had no such worry. The reviews were spectacular
and a small group from Unique Client Solutions headed to the cinema this
weekend with confidence and anticipation. We’re pretty good on our films, coming
from a background of customer acquisitions for the entertainment industry, and the
news coming out of the industry was that this film was good, very very good.
The opening sequence of Skyfall was as
action packed as we’ve come to expect from Bond films, but the dying moments
before the opening credits shocked us, and if it hadn’t been for the fact that
there was still another 2 hours of film to go, we might have been worried! New
bond girl Naomie Harris was slightly less slick and aloof than some of
her predecessors but at Unique Client Solutions we warmed to her immediately.
Adele’s fantastic new theme song rounded off a blistering opening sequence.
At Unique Client Solutions we’d read the
rumours about the villains but nothing could have prepared us for the
creepy wickedness of Javier Bardem, he almost stole the show from Mr. Bond
himself. The film was beautifully shot
in fantastic locations and flowed well. The only hiccup was the storyline of Berenice Marlohe which at times felt a little incomplete and
superfluous. The role that Ralph Fiennes was to
play became clearer as the film went on and after the epic final sequence,
beautiful in its simplicity, we’d already guessed what future he would have in
the Bond franchise.
We said a sad goodbye to one of the best loved actors in the franchise, and welcomed back old friends to the reception desk of
MI5, cough cough, we predicted that one! All of us at Unique Client Solutions
enjoyed the return of the famous Bond one-liner. This was a special film, to
mark the 50th anniversary, and it felt so. Do we think that we’ll
see a return to the Bond of Casino Royale or Quantum of Solace? Perhaps but we
loved Casino Royale so much we wouldn’t be disappointed. It’s been a long wait, with
the dud of Quantum of Solace in between making the wait seem even longer. Was
it worth it? You bet it was, Bond is back, in style.
