Storyline
When Bond's latest assignment goes gravely wrong and agents around the
world are exposed, MI6 is attacked forcing M to relocate the agency.
These events cause her authority and position to be challenged by Gareth
Mallory (Ralph Fiennes), the new Chairman of the Intelligence and
Security Committee. With MI6 now compromised from both inside and out, M
is left with one ally she can trust: Bond. 007 takes to the shadows -
aided only by field agent, Eve (Naomie Harris) - following a trail to
the mysterious Silva (Javier Bardem), whose lethal and hidden motives
have yet to reveal themselves.
Skyfall (2012) movie Reviews
"He
knows us. He's one of us. He comes from the same place as Bond, a place
you say doesn't exist, the shadows." The world's greatest secret agent
is back, but is the need for an agent outdated in today's modern world?
After MI-6 is attacked and M (Dench) is brought under scrutiny by the
government Bond (Craig) alone is left to find out who is behind the
attack while M is trying to both help Bond and defend the need for an
agency that has been compromised. I know that a review is really not
needed here, being the 23rd Bond movie either you will watch it or not. I
am a huge fan of the series and was really looking forward to this
after hearing this is the best Bond movie yet. I have really loved the
Craig movies but for some reason they never had the feel of a Bond movie
to me, I wasn't sure what was missing but they didn't have the same
feel. Knowing that they were re-booting the series I was lenient and
with this one the re-boot is complete. This had much more of a feel of a
classic Bond movie and by the end I was excited to see the next one. I
got chills watching a few times and especially at the end. This had
possibly the best opening and ending to a Bond movie ever. I could go on
and on about this but I will just say if you love Bond you will love
this, if you have never seen one then this one will make you a fan.
Overall, From Russia With Love is my favorite Bond movie but this a very
close second, and I think may be more re-watchable. I wanted to watch
this one again as soon as the movie was over. I give this a very high A.
