Best Bond film of the decade

Rating: 8/10 (9 February 2013)

This is clearly the best James Bond film of the decade. Casino Royale was entertaining and kept me interested through most of the film. Quantum of Solace fell flat in many areas. And now Skyfall revitalizes the James Bond franchise. The movie begins like the previous movies; with James Bond(played by Daniel Craig) chasing a target through the streets of a foreign country. We see some of the same action sequences. I don't know how many times people can see the good guy narrowly escape death, but it never seems to get old. Well, not to directors anyway. Back to the movie, there is another agent with him and when the time comes she is ordered by M to take the shot that seemingly kills Bond. No surprise he isn't dead and there is no attempt to tell how he faked this death. While he is enjoying death he sees on the news that M16 was attacked and he makes a trip back to London, to rejoin his former agency. This is where the plot takes off.
Much like Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, what I liked most about this particular Bond film is its attempt to give us a look into Bonds origin and life before he became 007. You also have to see Bond rise from retirement, old age and injuries, like we see Bruce Wayne do in The Dark Knight Rises. If you haven't seen the film already then get ready for intense action scenes,a bleach blond evil-genius, and an explosive ending. This movie really delivers and Bond lovers will fall head over heels for the newest installment to the legendary Bond franchise.
