But trust me, it was a good change.īardem as Silva showed shades of Loki and Joker in that he's always one more step ahead of MI6. This film is absolutely a deviation from the typical formulaic process to Bond though. In many ways Skyfall completes the Bond origin story into the Bond we have known throughout the years to be. It's been clear ever since Casino Royale and through his rogue adventures in Quantum that she has a fondness and a soft spot for James. Then seeing her reaction and emotions unfold as she believes Bond to be dead.

I love that M tells Naomie Harris as Moneypenny/Eve to take the shot even though she doesn't have a clear shot. It's also clear that this film will focus on M and Bond's relationship which has been so well documented in this series of films. Right from the opening pre credits sequence it's clear we are in for a ride. The important thing is that Skyfall isn't just a great Bond film, it's a great film. I may like Casino Royale a little bit more, but it switches on a day to day basis. You have one of the best theme songs in the series' history with Adele's Skyfall, strong female characters led by the expanded presence of Judi Dench's M, and one of the best villains with Javier Bardem's Silva. Skyfall was really a perfect storm for a Bond film. Rating: PG-13 (Language|Intense Violent Sequences|Smoking|Some Sexuality) Aided only by a field agent (Naomie Harris), Bond takes to the shadows and follows a trail to Silva (Javier Bardem), a man from M's past who wants to settle an old score. With MI6 now compromised inside and out, M turns to the one man she can trust: Bond. When James Bond's (Daniel Craig) latest assignment goes terribly wrong, it leads to a calamitous turn of events: Undercover agents around the world are exposed, and MI6 is attacked, forcing M (Judi Dench) to relocate the agency.
