Bond is back, and he's better than ever! Arguably the best 007 film of all time!

Rating: 9/10 (22 November 2012)

Skyfall is the 23rd movie & the 50th year in the James Bond film franchise. After being accidentally shot by Eve(Naomie Harris) while chasing down the bad guy, James Bond(Daniel Craig), who's presumed dead goes into hiding. After a bomb blast at the MI6 headquarters which nearly killed M(Judi Dench), Bond returns. The new villain's name is Silva(Javier Bardem) & for some reason he's out to get M. What Bond doesn't know is that M is hiding a dirty secret of her own.
This movie has all the classic 007 trademarks. The breathtaking locales, sexy Bond girls, the modern and the vintage cars, awe inspiring gadgets, the inimitable villain & of course, non-stop action & suspense. The viewer can never guess what's going to happen next. Unlike the previous film, Quantum of Solace, the non-stop action has a solid plot as well. A note on the performances. Daniel Craig is mind blowing as James Bond(and don't worry, this time he does say Bond, James Bond). Craig plays a much physically & emotionally weaker Bond who's lost his edge after the accident. Javier Bardem is spectacular as Silva. Bardem is both menacing & witty at the same time. Judi Dench as usual is outstanding as M. Ben Whishaw is brilliant as gadget expert, Q. Ralph Fiennes has a wonderful cameo as Garreth Mallory who is going to take over MI6 after M retires. The Bond girls Severine(Berenice Marlohe) & Eve are effective as well. I also love the fact that there's more of London in this film, since I've gone there. All in all, Skyfall is a must watch for Bond fans & pretty much everyone else.
