Bond has come full circle!!
The real James Bond has returned in the latest entry of this indefatigable five-decade long series. "Skyfall" is an exciting, action-filled movie that belies its 143 minute length. From the energetic opening sequence, through the dramatic finale, to the smile-inducing epilogue, there are enough touches of the old and the new Bond to satisfy any fan. The film serves as a fitting celebration of fifty years of Bond. The performances by Daniel Craig, Dame Judi Dench and Javier Bardem are top drawer. I never thought anyone could hold a candle to Sean Connery as James Bond but Craig, in his third outing as 007, runs Connery a close second! After decades of putting up with the dilettantish Roger Moore and the cardboard acting of Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan, it's a pleasure to see Craig portray Bond with the kind of deadly hard edge and deadpanned sense of humor not seen since "Diamonds are Forever". From "Dr. No" to "Skyfall", Commander James Bond has come full circle!!
