Best Bond of all time?

Skyfall (2012)

Directed by Sam Mendes the 23rd film in the franchise stars Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Judi Dench and Naomie Harris. After being presumed dead Bond returns to action when MI6 and M specifically come under attack.

This is probably the closest any film in the franchise since On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) has come to having any real heart to it and does a good job of exploring the Bond/M relationship. While this may be Bond for a new ear it still contains some of the trademarks of a classic Bond adventure as well as being the first film to actually delve into the past of the character. There is some great photography, especially early on and the only real criticisms of the film are that it might be a little too long.


5/5
