Skyfall

The much anticipated new Bond Movie, having seen the trailer and heard/read several reviews saying it was one of, if not the best, Bond films ever I was really looking forward to this one and it didn't disappoint.

Sam Mendes somehow takes the Bond franchise and makes it feel like a Sam Mendes movie, performances from Craig, Dench and especially Bardem are superb, this is a very modern spy thriller.

There are a couple of issues, maybe is slightly too long, and one scene in particular, with Bardem Monologuing I just felt could have been cut down slightly, but that is no major, and I wasn't sure about all the references to the past bond films.

Also on a couple of occasions the product placement is so in you face it gets annoying, and I have never seen so many adverts before a film at the cinema in my life 

These are minor annoyances in what is an otherwise superb film, after the Disappointment of Quantum of Solace, the Bond Franchise is back on form 9/10
