Bond is back!

Rating: 10/10 (26 October 2012)

I'll jump straight to the point here. This has to be the best Bond movie since Connery shhhluurped his way through his last on screen vodka martini! The trademark 'pre-title' sequence is back in all its glory with a fantastic chase through Istanbul's Grand Bazaar, taking the audience on one of the films many white knuckle rides. This sequence closes into the opening credits backed by the powerful voice of Adele belting out the movie's theme song.
The storyline is about a stolen computer drive containing the names of NATO agents embedded in terrorist organisation's across the globe for which Bonds chief 'M', played again by Judi Dench, must take responsibility. Ultimately the story focuses on Dench's character as she becomes the target for revenge by a former agent, Silva(Javier Bardem)she abandoned to the Chinese some years ago.
The action rockets the movie through some fantastic scenes which are mostly played out on Bonds home territory, with some explosive action through the London streets and on the tube, and a fantastic shootout finale' in the Scottish Highlands which may leave a lump in your throat!
Daniel Craig's Bond has matured since his last outing yet still has moments where he is shaken and stirred a little more than his Martini, even though he seems to prefer lager straight out of the bottle these days. I've often thought that Connery's Bond was tough enough but with not enough emotional side and Timothy Dalton's Bond was sophisticated but far too sensitive, a mixture of the two could make the perfect James Bond, in Skyfall Daniel Craig come's closest there has ever been to that Bond!
