Craig is Bond for the 21st Century

Rating: 7/10 (25 November 2012)

I enjoyed this latest installment in the Bond series. I saw all of the Bond films during their first releases. In the 50th anniversary year of the franchise, Skyfall makes playful references to Bond films past and also establishes some roles for future episodes. This mission is of a more personal nature and takes place in today's world, where politics are related to terrorism and terrorism's greatest weapon is most likely a computer.
The story knowingly uses the blond villain convention, something that might seem cartoon-like. But Daniel Craig's Bond is anything but the infallible superhero. He is world weary and cynical. Perhaps he is more the hero because he must overcome his limitations. The entire cast is great.
