Skyfall (James Bond 007)
Bond's latest assignment goes terribly wrong exposing most of the undercover agents in the MI6 around the world, and most especially is M whose past comes chasing.

Skyfall has fun playing with Bond's image, but the producers are wary of being too revisionistic. In fact, the film is good because it's such a stirring affirmation of the things 007 films have always done well.

It's been a long time since I enjoyed a Bond movie so much.

Mendes' approach to action is classical and elegant - no manic editing and blurry unintelligible images here - but what makes the movie special is the attention he pays his actors.

Britain is quite diverse right now, feel free to reflect that anytime, Mr. Bond.

In attempting to pilot the franchise backward and forward simultaneously, the filmmakers have delivered the most unusual Bond film since the truly great (and truly bonkers) On Her Majesty's Secret Service in 1969.

A Bond film should feature a menacing villain who's also just a touch daffy; Javier Bardem has more fun than anybody else onscreen as a rogue agent with a mommy complex and a come-hither leer.

'Quantum of Solace,' was a dour, dire letdown. This picture's a substantial bounce back, and easily the best Craig Bond picture. Emotional depth and all.

A stirring addition to the James Bond franchise.

Skyfall gets off to a fast start. I can't recall when I've enjoyed a pre-title sequence more.

Among the most ambitious imaginings of Bond to date: dark, supple, and punctuated with moments of unanticipated visual brilliance.

James Bond has been relegated to cinematic stupidity before, but demoting the character to this degree of slightness is even more deflating.

The cool accomplishment of Skyfall, 23rd in the Broccoli franchise, is that it seems a necessary, rather than mandatory, addition to the year's popular culture.
