AS with most indian english writers Sen wants to use all the jargons and one of the most sophisticated wordings totally unecessary..
I bet even an american or a Brit would take time to read this....westerners always prefer simple engish....I dont know what he is trying to impress here...
But Skyfall is pretty good...more of dialogues than animated stunts..if you watch dialogues closely you will understand the humor behind it and make you feel interesting... Indians can never mature...they want all the super human bond always... thanks krishna
No cool gadgets, no babes(madam M seems to be bond girl), no cars, no slick action, very less humor, no bondish plot or plan...all these special things make bond movies special..if this is supposed to be just another action movie like transporter then why the 007 tag in it...trust me Craig's " the girl in dragon tattoo" was better...any ardent bond movie lover will have other opinion than this reviewer

Please do not waste your time in watching this movie. All reviewers have overrated this movie. It seems Sam Mendes has directed this movie in keeping Oscars in mind; not the legendary of Bond series. This movie will disappoint you if you are Bond fan & even if you are fan of action films. I found following points really pathetic, 1. Naomi Harris is like cartoon & has no chemistry with Daniel Creig. 2. Daniel Creig lacks the charm associated with Bond persona. 3. Nothing to apluad about actions scenes; the very few that movie has. 4. We know Bond as a hero who saves the world. In this film he is limited to protecting M. 5. The film is slow paced & lacks depth in its script; though it promises to have depth at start but as you reach climax you realize lack of it. 6. Poor dialogues. There's absolutely nothing that can leave you shaken & stirred.

very bad movie, we all expect bond's heroism in the movie and not the logic, but it is totally missing, at the climax bond is using a knife to kill the villain tragedy movie.
Raja Sen's review are always more complicated than the movie. He, more of, wants to display his writing skills, than present an genuine review of the movie. I wonder whom he wants to impress? By now, he should have been fired, bcos surely his manuscripts are not for the average English readers.
