The latest 007 installment is directed by Sam Mendes and stars Daniel Craig, Judi Dench, and Javier Bardem. James Bond's (Craig) latest challenge is more personal than usual. When MI6 comes under attack, Bond discovers that the mastermind is a figure from M's (Dench) past. As he sets out to find the terrorist, his loyalty to M is tested, and his future in the British Secret Service remains in serious question. I will admit that I have only seen the Craig Bond films, but this one is the one I enjoyed the most out of the three. It is by no means a cinematic masterpiece, but in terms of an action blockbuster, it is sufficiently clever and well-crafted. It is perhaps a tad too long; while the film has some pretty intense action sequences (especially the final one), it can drag on at times. It might also occasionally stretch believability, but that is to be expected from a film like this. However, these little discrepancies can be forgiven from a film that has a lot to live up to delivers great entertainment. In all, Skyfall is a solid, smart adventure.
