Skyfall – the new Bond flick was a very solid, very intelligent, thoughtful movie with great action set pieces but even better pacing, dialog, and suspense. A terrific movie. Though I will admit that it has thematic issues – it wants to be a 50th anniversary Bond film starring a guy who just rebooted the franchise two movies ago. But, I can forgive it its sins since I knew what was trying to do and everything else worked so well.

So happy this turned out well after the… less than stellar… Quantum of Solace (a movie with a better title than anything in the flick itself).

Score: 89
