Yes! Yes! and No, not quite.

Rating: 9/10 (30 December 2012)

Make no mistake. Daniel Craig's purveyance of the hero above all heroes, the man above all men, since the days of our youth is by far the best of all purveyances of James Bond.
Daniel Craig even dethrones Sean Connery and George Lazenby, effectively putting David Niven and Roger Moore on the absolute bottom of the ranking list (well, that's not quite fair, because they were on the bottom of the list from before!) Roger Moore only barely surpassed downwards by David Niven (whos version of Casino Royale was more pussyfooting around the theme of James Bond, than a real James Bond movie.
The problem with Skyfall, that doesn't raise it above an 8-eight- is that the villain, seems like picked straight out of Roger Moore's stuporous line of films.
The best description I can give of Javier Bardem's villain is a mixture of "Mr.Big" (Live and Let Die) and "Hugo Drax" (Moonraker), two of the poorest excuses for villains ever portrayed on film.
I am still happy to see that Daniel Craig has signed for two more movies, which will appear in 2014 and ????, because I am sure he will keep up appearances, and continuously paint a better Bond, maybe and "All Time High", if you get my drift.
I Just hope the villain will be better next time. Developed further out of and away from the 1960s and 1970s.
