As Adele sings, Skyfall stands tall!!

Rating: 8/10 (7 November 2012)

When I walked in to see this movie, I had a firm expectation that this will be sure a fiery one and bingo it did from the start!!!. Daniel Craig reprises his role as 007 and has portrayed it extremely well. Of the 3 he has done so far as 007, I would rank this as his 2nd best (after Casino Royale). I feel that Craig portrays the 'human' blend of the super spy stunningly well. He brings out the darker side of the character by way of his emotions. Kudos to him for his excellent portrayal of the character. Dame Dench puts in a superb performance as well as 'M'. It was a bit sad to see her character being handed over to Ralph Fiennes. However, the lady packs punch when it comes to acting. Ben Wishaw as the new 'Q' also impresses. We get to see that the new actors are getting blended into their (future) characters very well. Naomie as Eve &/ Moneypenny is impressive too. Bernice did not had much to do in the movie. Special mention to Javier Bardem for his good portrayal of the villain character. The one I really enjoyed in the movie was the humor throughout.
Kudos to Sam Mendes for his great directorial work. Cinematography by Deakins is great as well. The interest on the story holds on because of the cinematography by Deakins and excellent editing by Baird. However, the director could have kept the show a bit crisp towards the end although it still musters through because of the action sequence in the climax.
Special kudos to the producers from my end for keeping the interest in the 007 series alive and kicking. I feel that Craig is one of the best Bond selections to have been ever made (if not the best!). Looking forward to see Craig in action for couple more of 007.
My rating would be a 8 out of 10. I would have voted more if not for the dragging towards the end of the movie.
