Skyfall
I'm a big 007 junkie. Love the series even though the movies are often completely ridiculous. It's all about the escapism for me.
Skyfall is pretty good. I found it lagging a bit at times. Javier Bardiem plays one of the best villians in the series. Daniel Craig is the best Bond since Connery if not better in some ways.
Glad Q and Moneypenny are back. I'm also glad M's office is moving back to the traditional wood paneled office with the padded door. Although the 1965 Aston Martin DB5 has made a few cameos in recent Bond flicks (Tomorrow Never Dies and Casino Royale) it actually got a centerpiece moment which was very well done.
The whole thing felt very retro yet with a modern tinge that freshened everything up.
