Synopsis: 007 (Daniel Craig) becomes M's only ally as MI6 comes under attack, and a mysterious new villain emerges with a diabolical plan.

Meanwhile, as M (Judi Dench) plans to relocate the agency, emerging Chairman of the Intelligence and Security Committee Mallory (Ralph Fiennes) raises concerns about her competence while attempting to usurp her position, and Q (Ben Whishaw) becomes a crucial ally. Now the only person who can restore M's reputation is 007. Operating in the dark with only field agent Eve (Naomie Harris) to guide him, the world's top secret agent works to root out an enigmatic criminal mastermind named Silva (Javier Bardem) as a major storm brews on the horizon.

    On Her Majesty's Secret Service was a game-changer - but with a mediocre actor in the role of Bond the producers went and changed it back again. Now more than 40 years later - another game-changer, with a great lead actor. Magnificent.

    Bond is now Rambo too overstated, a weak attempt to include homosexuality in a scene,weak characters a film that's trying to be everything to everyone. obviously the movie reviewers were drinking the same kool aid as Sony on this one

    Great 1st half of movie, then followed by a weak villain and really cheesy ending. It's like someone allowed the writers for "Home Alone" write how Bond would kill the villain. I was waiting for marbles on the floor to take out bad guys. 0

    What a DISSAPOINTING if not a TERRIBLE movie. Some few questions: 1.) Why did Bond crash his motorcycle off a bridge when he could have just hopped onto the train? 2.) Why didn't Eve shoot Patrice once Bond was already hit? 3.) How did Bond

    At this point, any Bond film borrows pieces from previous films and reassembles them. In Skyfall, this is done both literally and figuratively. It is an ambitious work that is undermined with illogical plotting in the final act.

    Very good Bond flick. The franchise has moved from lighthearted comedy and sexual innuendos to darkness. Also lacking the fun gadgets from 'Q'. I thought it was a mistake when the Batman movies became so dark. Hope Bond turns it around.

    The villain was the best part. He was more like the villains of old, arrogant, twisted but a bit witty. Movie is absurd too much. If I'm driving a train and 1/2 of it falls off I would stop. Why does this Bond have to lose every fight?

    One of the worst in the series. Ending is a joke. Glad to see the old bag die though, that was a plus.
