The direction and cinematography of Skyfall are frequently breathtaking. The film explores Bond's past and relationship with M, adding depth. Silva is seen as one of the most memorable and complex antagonists. It became the highest-grossing Bond film at the time.

In Skyfall, the villain is an intellectual megalomaniac named Silva, played by Javier Bardem. Here he plays a bleached blond computer whiz who stole the drive containing the guarded identities of every MI6 agent.

M is not quite ready to retire, and Skyfall at last provides a role worthy of Judi Dench, one of the best actors of her generation. She is all but the co-star of the film, with a lot of screen time, poignant dialogue, and a character who is far more complex and sympathetic than expected.

A dead-serious M Judi Dench, following the action from MI6 in London. After the enemy agent grabs Bond as a human shield, M’s other agent, Eve Naomie Harris has both men in her gun sights. The stakes are very high. “Take the shot!” M commands.

Bond is in Istanbul, chasing a man who has stolen a crucial hard drive, and after a chase through city streets 007 is running on top of a train. Bond can operate almost anything, but Skyfall incredibly has him take over a giant Caterpillar and crush a flatcar filled with VW Beetles.

Skyfall (2012) triumphantly reinvents 007 in one of the best Bonds ever. This is a full-blooded, joyous, intelligent celebration of a beloved cultural icon, with Daniel Craig taking full possession of a role he earlier played well in Casino Royale.

Today's movie (Friday 5-31-26) is Skyfall, a James Bond film.
