James Bond #23: Skyfall
The next James Bond movie now has a title: “Skyfall”. We also know now of the main protagonists:
- Javier Bardem who has the perfect baddie’s face, especially when you remember his role in “No Country for Old Men” (2007)
- Ralph Fiennes who, too, has one of the best baddie’s face — think Lord Voldemort
- Bérénice Marlohe who is the fifth French Bond girl and, until now, only acted in minor TV shows
- Naomie Harris who played Tia Dalma/Calypso in “Pirates of the Caribbean”
I’m pretty eager to see this movie who was stalled because of funding issues.
However, whereas I find Bardem and Fiennes’ casting adequate, I do not believe Marlohe nor Harris have the same glow many the previous Bond girls had, like Andress, Blanchi, Auger, Adams, Marceau, and Green. Oooh, Eva…
Anyway, that will not stop me from seeing and enjoying it. In my opinion, Daniel Craig is the best Bond after Sean Connery, and indubitably the most modern and adrenaline-packed one. Can’t wait.
