By Magnitudes, The Best Bond Yet

Rating: 9/10 (10 November 2012)

I never liked Daniel Craig from the start, he was too much like Bourne and he didn't add any humor. I was really worried this movie would disappoint. My fears were put to rest, however. Skyfall has to be the best Bond movie by far. I have watched all the other EON Bond films, and the remake of Thunderball with Sean Connery, Never Say Never Again. If you haven't, then you probably did not enjoy this movie as I did.
Skyfall makes many references to older Bond films, and I'll say right now, they make this movie. No doubt. Obvious references to Goldfinger, For Your Eyes Only, Goldeneye(and Never Say Never Again?), and, You Only Live Twice. Others can be argued, but these were the more indisputable ones.
Beyond that, If you just wanted an entertaining Bond movie, Javier Bardem makes a fantastic Bond villain, smart, funny, still bad, and one of the more entertaining Bond Villain deaths, even if it wasn't elaborate or 'Bondish.' There are two great entrance scenes, and he even makes an oblique reference to Jaws from the Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker.
If you are a fan of the old, more original Bond movies, please go see this, even if, like me you're not a Daniel Craig fan and it's been painful to call Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace Bond films, if you get through Skyfall, I guarantee many of you will be looking forward to Having Daniel Craig signed on for Bonds 24 and 25. The ending wrapped up so nicely and Bond is back by the end!
