Critic Reviews
Skyfall (2012) Review: Bond Gets Old, and Better
★★★★½
Skyfall is Sam Mendes's gorgeous, surprisingly personal James Bond film, with Daniel Craig, Judi Dench and a superb Javier Bardem, and one of the best in the series.
Yes. It is one of the finest Bond films and a great action thriller in its own right, ideal for series fans and newcomers alike, even if the villain's plan strains belief.
