Simply Brilliant

Rating: 9/10 (30 October 2012)

The classic villain versus Bond that we missed is back, and better than before.
Daniel Craig once again shows that he managed to fill very large boots by grabbing the rains of the role and making it his. As James Bond he is seen to have to make some life threatening decisions in order to get ahead of what seems as an unbeatable villain, Raoul Silva.
The villain, Raoul Silva, is exactly what a bond movie needed; feared, interesting strength in technology, one step ahead of MI6 and a memorable defect as well as a perfect background. Played by Javier Bardem, one could only think he was simply ideal for the role.
Judi Dench is seen in the movie as having another great role, possibly a more interesting one to any other of the Bonds she has starred in (watch it to find out what I am talking about) and does not fail to let her experience in acting skills shine.
Sam Mendes I take my hat off to you for putting the Bond film back on track to making many more, in which I hope you will have an influence upon as possible director for the future films. You brought the Villain vs Bond plot back after being lost, following on from that you made a ideal villain that Bond had not faced and managed to show Bond's true skills as an agent. You even managed to bring some missed characters back in and you did it without possible prediction till the last moment.Congratulations and a job well done.
I gave the movie a solid 9 out of 10, the reasons for it not being ten out of ten is simply because I do not believe in perfectibility, but I am truthful when I say it is certainly not far from this.
If you have not seen this film yet, you MUST.
