Following the long lived pop culture icon, James Bond, this film details a much more personal and close up profile than your average 007 movie. Not only does the lead actor Daniel Craig continue to add a more dark and sultry demeanor to Bond's character, he also incorporates violent aggression into the film, more so than his previous counter-parts. The remaining characters turn in performances that are just as strong and memorable.
Having grown up with the older James Bond movies, seeing this newest one was definitely a refreshing experience for me. Comparing the older movies and then getting a wake-up call to the newest and boldest one (out of the three featuring Craig as Bond) was like watching your grandmother out-run Usain Bolt. The movie had many ongoing themes, but the most prominent was revenge. Revenge not just for Bond, but for the villan in the movie who had been betrayed by his own agency many years back. The rogue tries to manipulate Bond and see his point of view, only for the sake of bad blood against his old boss, M.
Skyfall is one of those movies that you can watch again and again and never get tired of, although it may not be age appropriate for the youngsters (as many 007 films aren't) and there are some scary sequences and language, but it is a movie that everyone, young and old will enjoy and come to love.
