Movie Review -"Skyfall"

Good morning everyone! Hope you all had a nice weekend! It was a fairly uneventful one for me but I did find the time to head to the movie theaters and see one of the seasons most anticipated new films, "James Bond 007 Skyfall".

The movie opens up with a bang as a hard drive containing the identities of all the secret agents in the MI6 data base is stolen. Bond and a fellow agent are quickly on the thieves trail to retrieve the device at all costs. When their efforts fail, nobody within the organization is safe - especially "M" herself . A ghost from her past arises with a vengeful plot against her and all of MI6. "M" must rely on 007 to hunt down and neutralize the threat before it's too late. Still recovering from a nearly fatal accident, Bond's physical endurance and his loyalty to "M" will be tested as he faces a terrorist who knows all too well the methods of MI6 and their leader.

Now in his third film portraying the famous secret agent, Daniel Craig owns the role of Bond and plays the part perfectly. Judi Dench, Javier Bardem, and Ralph Fiennes also star as director Sam Mendes takes on his first action movie. Mendes brings new life to the franchise blending elements of past Bond films and bringing in new concepts to keep the film fresh and modern. The exciting opening scene, classic 007 moments, and a top notch screen play that builds an epic story make this film truly enjoyable for newcomers and fans of the series alike.

I can easily say "Skyfall" was the best James Bond movie I've seen in recent years.While it may not have as many over the top gadgets or scandalous love scenes as some of the other installments in the 007 series, Skyfall still delivers as an epic film worthy of the Bond franchise. It certainly merits going to your local theater and enjoying on the big screen. "Skyfall" did not disappoint and I eagerly await the next installment of the timeless movie series.
