Mix it up with old school James Bond 007

Rating: 10/10 (29 November 2012)

This was a movie I wanted to see opening weekend but finally when I saw it I was blown away. It is one of the best Bond movies I have ever seen. Skyfall combines some old school Bond with the new high tech one. A new villain has come to town using cyber terrorism to throw in chaos into the mix. Seeing to discredit the allusive M (Judi Dench) he manipulated the electronic cyber grid. Bond (Daniel Craig) loyal to M dives in to catch this cyber villain by using his bag of vintage tricks. With a trip into the country sound to Bond's childhood home driving his classic Aston Martin. With opening tunes by Adel, the traditional opening eye shot is held to the end and this 50th Anniversary flick shows that Bond is still the ultimate secret agent man. Interesting that Bond now seems to savor his product placement Heineken and 50 year Macallen instead of the shaken not stirred martini.
