Daniel Craig is the man

Rating: 10/10 (12 November 2012)

This was one of the best bonds films I have ever seen. Daniel Craig as the famed 007 agent who is on the run of his life against possibly the most evil man on the planet. Silver, (Javier Bardem) who was once an agent affiliate to the UK was given up by 'M' (judi Dench) to the Chinese militia rather than to use him as ransom bait. During his incarceration underwent torture for months to try and give up names of contacts. But as with all agents, rather than giving in, he decided to take his cyanide pill to end his suffering. However to everyone's utter amazement, survived the attempt to end his own life and became a new super evil for which he swore revenge against 'M' for his transformation. Bond who with other sections of MI6 became targets by the British minister because of continuous violent acts for which all were placed on trial. During this crisis it was learn-ed that silver was to try and kill 'M' at those proceedings. Yet bond with his usual style and audacity helped stave off the hit to try and catch silver once again. So to end this complete charade, bond led silver to his old estate where he grew up as a child. A place known as Skyfall manor. There the showdown of his life ensued with bond on top once again, but at a heavy price, for 'M's last days were counted with a mortal wound. I have to say it was a great chapter ending to bonds secret life, where he grew up, what 'M' learn-ed about him and why bond never liked his past in the first place. The music was top notch, the action left me riveted, and the story to his past had been nothing less but intriguing. Ralph Fiennes played an excellent character as well for his role as the new 'M'. A man who thought the old ways were still above the new as a sort of guide rather than to be a hindrance. Old and new collide in so many ways since the computer chip became the dominate species, but to so many others in the field, experience will always be considered as the end result. Fantastic film, highly recommended to all who are fans of 007.
