Well, whenever I think of a film that I enjoyed so much one of the James Bond movies pops in my mind which is “Skyfall”. In this movie Bond is on a mission to save the world from an arch-criminal as usual sure it will be similar to most of the previous Bond films, with a plotline involving lots of twists and turns, and with Bond using his skills to defeat his nemesis in the end.

Q

and explain why you enjoyed this film

* full of action scenes and special effects
* missions always take place in spectacular locations
* totally unrealistic, you could even say ridiculous
* a bit like a roller-coaster ride!
A

I like this movie primarily because it is full of action scenes and special effects, and I like the fact that Bond’s missions always take place in spectacular locations in different parts of the world. Of course Bond films are totally unrealistic, you could even say ridiculous. But they’re always fast, entertaining and fun, a bit like a roller-coaster ride!
