Sam Mendes has created one of those timeless James Bond films which unites all the charm, suaveness and nostalgia of the old films and the depth and realistic brutality of the Daniel Craig series. That first statement may sound like an exaggeration but it is actually true this movie really is that good, no great though even calling it great would be a understatement. Though this is not the best Bond film it is the best in the Daniel Craig series and one of the best James Bond movies of all time due to hard work, nostalgia, good acting and genuine effort on everyones part.
The plot is about James Bond (Daniel Craig) obviously, and Miss Moneypenny ( Naomie Harris) who I am glad is back in the films again, fighting off the ex- MI6 agent Silva (Javier Bardem) who has a personal vendetta against M (Judi Dench) for leaving him to die in an earlier mission. The way Silva enacts this plan is revealing 7 MI6 agents identity each week on youtube and blowing up M16 headquarters in order to create a sense of panic coupled with the fact that the world thinks MI6 has become corrupt ,obsolete, and unnecessary creates a perfect storm against MI6 which is Silva has planned to do thus at this exact time. The film ends with a final Battle at James Bond's old family manor featuring the Aston Martin from the original films.
Silva is a great villain delivering thousands of chills down the viewers spine and M is great as always, another great character who I wish I had mention is Q, now played by Ben Whishaw who lampshades the fact of how they don't make the gadgets as flashy but impractical as they used to be, but rather more boring yet useful, and though he may Ben Whishaw may seem too young for the role he fills in the role quite well. The entire Film is wonderful not just do to the action or even the nostalgia but to the interaction of characters, due to the challenges these people must overcome and to the brief moments of very potent humor that are dispersed throughout film randomly, this is what makes the Bond series greater than most if not all modern action/ crime series.
In the end I wish I could tell you more but that may spoil the fun, if you are a die hard fan of James Bond films as I am this is the film for you to the point where it has chance to be a classic like Goldfinger or Dr. No for you and even if you are a casual Bond watcher or a newcomer to the series you will still enjoy this film. I do agree with the rating because some of the scenes may be scary and disturbing for sensitive and younger viewers though there is less..... naughty scenes this time so if your child can handle the other films they are probably ready to see this.
