A wink to all past James Bond of the last 50 years

Rating: 8/10 (2 December 2012)

Skyfall does score for many reasons here: Daniel Craig stills shines as James Bond. If the character went into several actors (I still remember Sean Connery and Roger Moore among others), Craig does it best.
However, the story is very well told, with some action. Mostly the main point is how low the MI6 can go when they abandon agents. If they abandon Silva to its fate, James Bond does not surrender at all and remains faithful, even if sometimes he has doubts about why he is still around.
Many "hints" from past James Bond movies are showing here: exotic destinations, a bit of gadgetry (not much however), a new "Q", Bond girls, all kinds of peril, a mission to accomplish, Bond's intelligence, a bit of humour. This is what the James Bond series was all about for 50 years (and there is a tribute at the end for this Golden Anniversary).
And of course to top it off: Adele which sings the theme song. She deserves it as well as past singers.
Not to miss if you're a 007 fan
