Skyfall: Best Bond Movie Since Dr. No

The 50th anniversary for the creation of Ian Fleming's famous MI6 agent could not have been celebrated better than with the release of the best James Bond movie yet: Skyfall. Daniel Craig returned for his third appearance as agent 007 previously portraying that role in Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. Craig's first Bond film made Casino Royale one of the most intriguing story lines in the series with the beginning story of how James Bond acquired 007 status. Royale had such a strong storyline that Quantum of Solace took place right where the previous film left off in the hopes that the story was big enough to make two films out of it. Unfortunately, the storyline lacked and was not nearly as strong as its prequel. Skyfall broke completely away from Quantum of Solace and turned out to be one of the best Bond movies of all time.

With Academy award winning director Sam Mendes, Skyfall turned out to be much more than a great action movie, but an action movie with life in it. The movie brings back a more complex plot (which is how 007 has continued to have success in the theaters since the 1960's) and further enhances the characterization of James Bond and the other supporting characters in the franchise. Skyfall puts Bond up against his most worthy opponent yet with an ex-MI6 agent keen on getting revenge on Bond's boss and MI6 director M. The newest movie also brings back classic characters like Q and also tells the beginning story of MI6 secretary Moneypenny.

This film is a must see for Bond fans new and old and for everyone who loves a good action movie. Viewers not familiar with James Bond would not need to watch any other movies before in order to understand what is going on, however, I would suggest watching Casino Royale, which is still among the best Bond movies of all time.

James Bond will Return

... and so will I.
