Movies to look forward to: Skyfall

In my first post I wrote about looking forward to see The Hobbit, I thought I would continue in this path and share with you some of the other movies that I'm looking forward to.

Skyfall (premiere October 26th)
I will never be able to say that I'm a fully fledged James Bond fan. Since Daniel Craig joined the franchise in 2006 with Casino Royale I feel that the movies have been getting bit of a boost. An aspect that I like about the new James Bond is the fact that they have made him more human, there's more of a vulnerable element to the character while as before he was almost superhuman. This third movie of Daniel Craig as Bond seems to be involving M and be more about M than before.

Javier Bardem who plays the villain Raoul Silva is the character that I'm the most excited about in the movie. He seems to have the potential to actually be one of the best villains in a long time.

Being from Sweden the hype has been big(and will probably get even bigger!) about actor Ola Rapace who is playing a villain in the movie, he is probably a henchman to Javier Bardems character. But we will see, I might be wrong! ;) This is Rapaces first international role, he has previously been in the Wallander movies and several swedish tvshows. He is also known for being the ex-husband of Noomi Rapace.

Another thing I should probably mention is the bond girls, I have never really been a fan of this, 'cause I prefer the badass girls where they actually do things instead of just looking pretty. I'm hopeful for this movie because it seems like they are mixing the two, where Naomie Harris that plays Eve is the badass girl, where as Bérénice Marlohe who plays Sévérine seems to be more of the seductress.

Other things I'm looking forward too in the movie is Ben Whishaw as Q (Q is finally not an old guy!). I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this role will help him get more of an recognition, than what he has previously been getting.
