Skyfall pays excellent homage to the iconic Bond series

Rating: Null/10 (22 June 2017)

After 50 years of having the great 007 portrayed in film Skyfall was released as the 23rd edition to mark this grand occasion. Ever since Sean Connery played the great 007 in Dr No (1962) the series has some great and some okay films. Skyfall not only rebooted the series after a small break but will go down as one of the best James Bond films ever made. Daniel Craig cements himself as a great 007 in this film.
From start to finish Skyfall captivates and entertains. The unique start shows Bond being shot and injured. The story that follows is close to home for Bond as he goes to where he grew up, M also is at the centre of this story as the Bond villain looks to settle a score with her. Javier Bardem is an excellent villain and enhances the film. He will certainly be remembered as one of the better Bond villains with his elaborate plot to face M. Continuing as a film of firsts the Bond girl is killed quite early and we know Bond won't be sailing off into the sunset with her.
All the classic Bond elements were incorporated such as the iconic Aston Martin and some memorable scenes with Bond and M. Q is played by a new actor who surprisingly holds his own in this film. The end was beautifully directed and the Bond villains death and Ms death was dramatic and beautifully portrayed. This great film also included an award winning theme song by Adele.
Its fair to say Skyfall had all the right elements and drama to be celebrated as one of the best Bond films. I cannot think of a better film and way to pay homage and tribute to such an incredible and beloved film series.
