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. With MI6 now compromised inside and out, M turns to the one man she can trust: Bond. 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.

Critics Consensus

Sam Mendes brings Bond surging back with a smart, sexy, riveting action thriller that qualifies as one of the best 007 films to date.

5/5

The result has been a no nonsense, driven, incredibly flawed, and actually wound-able James Bond compared to the invisible caricature of decadence he had become a generation prior.

Roger Deakins makes every inch of the screen drip cinematic beauty with eyegasmic wide shots and mind-blowing lighting, making this the best-looking Bond flick ever. Phenomenal acting all around.

Skyfall, another Bond masterpiece. This film is just like Casino Royale but maybe even better. I love everything about this movie: I love the new characters that they introduced Q and Gareth Mallory, I loved that brought back Eve Moneypenny from the original Bond films and I love the villain Silva, played by Javier Bardem, because he is just as good as Le Chiffre in Casino Royale and I loved his motivation and whenever he was on screen I was so intrigued because I didn't know what he would do next. Also, the choreography and action sequences are just as exciting as the fight scenes in Casino Royale. For those fans of the original Bond films with Sean Connery and Roger Moore, then you will love this movie because it has that nostalgia feel to it. I not going to say what the nostalgia is because I don't want to give away any spoilers. The Bond song Skyfall which was sung by Adele won this film an Oscar. The film is very intriguing from start to finish due to the great villain and great action sequences. I absolutely love Skyfall to me it is flawless an hugely exciting so if you are a fan of Sean Connery Bond, then watch this.

With its successful blend of the old and the new, Skyfall achieves instant classic status. Adele's theme song, Bardem's diabolical villain, Deakins' gorgeous cinematography and the return of the Aston Martin all play a part, but it's the exploration of Bond's relationship with M, and a gripping final segment in the highlands of Scotland, that help make it stand out as one of 007's best.

With the best visuals of any Bond film, "SkyFall" is slick, stylish, and smart.

Easily my favorite film in the Bond series. Cinematographically gorgeous, emotional investing, amazing score...it hits all the right spots. Craig has still got what it takes for this titular role.
