Skyfall

There isn't much bad I can say about the latest James Bond film.
It has a bit of everything - cars, explosions, epic hand to hand combat sequences and an evil mastermind - and leaves no stone unturned in its quest to celebrate 50 years of Bond, whilst also producing one of the best films in the franchise.
We first meet Daniel Craig's Bond as he and an agent named Eve (played by Naome Harris) track down a mercenary named Patrice (Ola Rapace). An action sequence involving construction vehicles aboard a train and hand to hand combat on top of it as it speeds down the track ensues, thrusting the viewer right into the heart of the action. As the train nears a tunnel, Eve has a shot at Patrice but could take out Bond in the process. With no time to relocate, and on orders from M (Judi Dench), she takes the shot - and doesn't miss Bond.
If the pre-title sequence was entertaining, the rest of the film is enthralling.
There are so many great scenes in this film - it's difficult to choose the best.
From the fight between Patrice and Bond in a Shanghai building - which shows only their silhouettes to create an awesome effect - to the sequence leading up to the confrontation at Westminster, the whole film is a rollercoaster I'd happily ride again and again.
Ralph Fiennes (Mallory) plays a fantastic role, while Javier Bardem's Raoul Silva is one of the creepiest Bond villains in the franchise.
Add to that the appearance of the Aston Martin DB5 - whose first appearance is accompanied by the famous Bond theme that sends shivers down the spine - and an absolute belter of a song from Adele, and you have the ingredients for a Bond film that could very well be ranked as one of, if not the, best.
