Skyfall

Rating: 10/10 (12 November 2012)

It takes so much to label anything as "the best ever". And sure, the term is thrown around way too much. But sometimes, it can be used with the best intentions; not necessarily making a big deal out of it. What I'm about to say is backed up by hours of contemplation. "Is this the best Bond film ever?" I would ask myself. It came down between From Russia With Love and Skyfall. Ladies and gentlemen, whether you want to stone me, agree with me, praise me, or what have you for saying this, just hear me out. Skyfall is the best Bond movie of all time. Period.
I'm the first person to love a classic Bond movie. I've seen every single one multiple times and without a doubt they are some of my favorite films. I'm a 007 expertise, and I was beyond excited to see Skyfall. Going into the film, I had heard wonderful things; but I was not expecting to see the best Bond film yet.
Skyfall had everything right. It was classic Bond meets future Bond. It was action packed, but still extremely graceful. Craig playing bond was smooth and stylish as hell, and Bardem as Silva was the best villain portrayal since Donald Pleasence as Blofeld. I'm not trying to jump to conclusion; Skyfall was honestly the perfect Bond film. I was more than pleased at everything Skyfall had to offer. The return of Q and Moneypenny was refreshing. Plus the other dozens of twists, surprises, and returns was enough to make a grown man cry tears of joy.
Perfection sums up this modern day masterpiece, and I can't wait to see Bond 24. Skyfall will forever live in Bond history as truly one of the best films to date. Bravo Bond. He's back and better than ever.
