Skyfall

After 50 years of Bond the super spy returns in Skyfall, a dazzling explosive film directed by Sam Mendes which sees 007 try to overcome his most difficult challenge yet in typical Bond fashion. Unlike the previous Bond film (Quantum of Solace)  Skyfall stays grounded with a superb plot different from any Bond film that has come before giving a more sensitive side to Bond. However it is Judi Dench after playing her character M for the seventh time which has the biggest part to play in the film becoming the Bond girl to end all Bond girls.

The movie kick starts with a epic chase in the streets of Istanbul with Bond and Eve (Noami Harris) trying to locate the stolen hard drive containing  the names of all MI6 undercover agents. After Bonds near death experience the movie shows him to be less of a super spy but  much older and more damaged both physically and mentally. With M being targeted by a mysterious cyber terrorist Bond is quickly rushed back into action to track him down. Which enters Silva (Javier Bardem) a powerful ex MI6 agent with a personal vendetta against M making him extremely dangerous. Silva is portrayed in the movie to be Bonds alter-ego after being M's right hand man for many years he finds out how worthless he is towards M, he quickly becomes the most challenging villain Bond has ever had to face.

The plot for the movie sees Bond go back to basics like the earlier bond films in the franchise which proves how iconic Bond is and why the franchise has been so successful in the 50 years of 007. Skyfall also used elements of old Bond films by having the Aston martin DB5 from Goldfinger making a guest appearance. The famous 007 soundtrack also crops up throughout the movie showing that Bond will always be some of the most successful movies in history with the greatest music.
 Skyfall was also very successful on release becoming the seventh top grossing film of all time which isn't a bad record for the 23rd Bond film.
