Unique Client Solutions Reviews Skyfall

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 50^th 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. 

Unique Client Solutions Delighted by Skyfall Reviews

Unique Client Solutions are even more excited by the prospect of the new James Bond film after Skyfall gets rave reviews from critics.

Customer acquisitions company Unique Client Solutions have been preparing for Skyfall to hit the big screen for several months. If early critic reviews are to be trusted we could be in for a treat. The vast majority of judges have given the film 4 or 5 stars with some hailing it the best Bond film ever. Take a look at some of the comments so far...

Neil Smith Total Film

“Skyfall [boasts] all the glamour, excitement and exoticism we have come to expect and then some.”

“The Daniel Craig era comes of age with a ballsy Bond that takes brave chances and bold risks. Guess what? Turns out you can teach an old dog new tricks”

Kim Newman Empire

“Skyfall is pretty much all you could want from a 21^st Century Bond: cool but not camp, respectful of tradition but up to the moment, serious in its thrills and relatively complex in its characters but with the sense of fun that hasn’t always be evident lately. One thing’s certain: James Bond will return…”

Todd McCarthy Hollywood Reporter

“Dramatically gripping while still brandishing a droll undercurrent of humour, this beautifully made film will certainly be embraced as one of the best Bonds by loyal fans worldwide and leaves you wanting the next one to turn up sooner than four years from now.”

Kate Muir The Times

“A return to classic form and a great British bulldog of a movie

Robbie Collin The Telegraph

“Mendes is unafraid to let the quieter dramatic moments breathe…and ace cinematographer Roger Deakins makes the wildly ambitious action sequences the most beautiful in Bond’s 50-year career.”

Unique Client Solutions couldn’t be more excited. Keep an eye out for our review after the film goes on general release. Send us your views and reviews as well, we’ll share our favourite comments on our Facebook page.

Unique Client Solutions Gears Up for Skyfall

At Unique Client Solutions we couldn’t be more excited for the release of the new Bond film Skyfall. As we specialise in direct marketing for the entertainment industry this one has been on our radar for some time now. Our in-house film fanatics having been hunting down the best facts and rumours surrounding the film, make of them what you will...

The Facts:

The film is to be released on 26^th October at cinemas nationwide and the world premier will be on October 23^rd at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

The film will see Bond travel to China, Istanbul and Scotland

There are some serious bad guys in this film, both Javier Bardem and Ralph Fiennes on-board and from the look of the latest trailer, Bardem is at his evil best.

Bernice Marlohe plays bond girl ‘Severine’ and Naomie Harris is playing ‘Eve’

The film is directed by Sam Mendes who joined the project shortly after the Quantum of Solace was released. He has promised that there would be plenty of action despite rumours of huge budget cuts.

The Rumours:

It has been reported for some weeks that Adele will be singing the Skyfall theme song but Sony are keeping quiet at the moment, their spokesperson said, “nothing confirmed, no comment.”

Some have claimed that Skyfall will see the end of Judy Dench’s reign as M. The general consensus at Unique Client Solutions is that we’d be sad to see her go.

Ralph Feinnes character has been a closely guarded secret with rumours circulating that he might be playing iconic bond villain Blofeld or otherwise someone from M’s past. From the look of the trailer we think that the latter seems more likely.

There has been speculation that Miss Moneypenny will return in Skyfall and some have suggested that the character played by Harris could in fact be Moneypenny. Harris seemed to dismiss the rumours by saying that her character Eve was “Not remotely office-bound.”

With just over a month to go Unique Client Solutions have enjoyed discussing the latest rumours with their clients' customers as they carry out their face-to-face marketing campaigns.
