Skyfall

I never miss a Bond movie on opening weekend with my best bud and this past weekend was no exception.  James Bond has been away for 4 years and that it was way too long especially when we were left with the bad taste of 'Quantum of Solace'.  Not that Quantum was that bad, plenty of ass kicking and chases but not much story.  Skyfall makes up for that.

Skyfall returns Bond to his roots after rebooting with the fabulous 'Casino Royale'.  Some old characters are brought back along with some old props and get this:  This is a spy movie with spy stuff!  And a great villain too in Javier Bardem.  This guy could be up for another Oscar as the baddie in this movie and he takes Bond where other no other evil bad guy has ever taken Bond before.  We are even reminded that 007 is an orphan as I believe that fact has been lost over the years.  Maybe in the next pic we can be reminded that 007 is a commander in the British navy.

Another great thing about this flick is that it is not about an evil man holding the world ransom with a laser or nuclear weapons.  It is all about revenge, pure and simple.  Highly recommended, Bond is definitely back.

Also, the new song by Adele is fantastic!  I proclaim it in the top 3 of all time Bond songs.

1. Live and Let Die- Sir Paul McCartney
2. A View to a Kill- Duran Duran
3. Skyfall- Adele

All Brits.  How about that!
