The Sky is Falllllling!! MMMM..Daniel Craig !!

Everyone knows that Daniel Craig's performance in Casino Royale (2003) was incredible, and then Quantum of Solace (2007) was a massive let down. Well I can promise you that Skyfall brings Craig fighting back in an epic action filled Bond film this Autumn. Skyfall (12A) has everything we love about Bond films: Overly long introduction followed by the Barrel Gun icon, Then the Assignment, The Money penny flirt etc .

Why is it awesome?

Skyfall is so amazing because it is classic Bond film just with a bit of a makeover. For instance we still witness the same Q-branch just with less gadgets and a younger most sophisticated Q. Bond is still Sleeping with the enemy however Severine, played by the ever so gorgeous Berenice Marlohe takes an unexpected turn for the worst. Finally of course we have the major villain Silva, played by the not so well known but incredible Javier Bardem. Who delivers an on the edge of your seat experience throughout the whole film.

The film starts with Bond and Money Penny on a mission to retrieve a hard drive which just so happens to contain every field agent undercover and their true identities....who would be so stupid enough to even make that? We then see Bond fighting the Minor villain in a long 20 minute fight scene involving trains, motorcycles and CAT Diggers. The twist happens when Money Penney accidently shoots Bond  due to an order from M , and we are then led to believe that Bond is dead. Of course he survives, however he comes back not at his best.

You start to feel that there is no hope left at the begginning of the film as we are faced with a new potenial 'M' as Mallory played by seeks out to force the current M,Judi Dench to early retirement. Alongside this Bond comes back from a Meditterainian break involving Ladies and scorpian drinking games, in a total mess. He is not announced fit for action and is introduced to a new Q half his age to which he sniggers 'you still have spots'. Regardless of the no hope atmosphere the film soon picks up as Bond is sent on his first mission to Shang Hai inwhich we finally see him 'kick ass' against 3 huge Chinese body gaurds and a hitman whom he previously fought on the rooftop of a train. The next scene we are introduced to the enemy 'Bond girl' who will actually take your breath away, the sexiest bond girl ever by far.

So the bad guy, Bardem, was actually amazing. Ive never seen him in anything else but he really impressed me with his ability to creep the hell out of me one minute and then make me laugh so hard at his attempt to come onto bond the next. There are some scene though where I cant help but think that he resembles Heath Ledger's the Joker in the Dark Knight, Especially nearer the end of the film where Bardems's hair is all greasy and scraggly as he staggers towards the camera, reminded me of the second last scene in Batman where the Joker is staggering towards Batman...just a thought. Of course the amazing Dame Judi Dench is in Skyfall playing her character M to a tee. One of my favourite parts of the film is when Bond's old housekeeper mistakes her name for Emma and callsher it for the rest of the film, its so darn cute. Also big spoiler we get to hear M's real name (I won't tell you it) but Silva calls her it in his grovelling revenge speech.

Daniel Craig brings us the flawless thrill ride we have been waiting for. He just gets fitter and fitter the older he gets, unfortunately there are no tight shorts and sea scenes in this film, however we do get to see him in a fitted suit throughout most of the film !

However the amount of product placement throughout this film is flipping ridiculous! The third time I saw this film with my half blind clumsy colleuge, I was literally telling which products to expcect to see next...Heinikein....Range Rover....Omega..This film has it all.

So if you were dissapointed by Quantom of Solace then this is the film for you!
