Skyfall
"Done."
If Skyfall has a main flaw, it would probably be length. It could probably stand to be a bit more concise. Other than that, though, it's a good, solid movie. Daniel Craig continues his showing as a tough, but smart, James bond who cheats death as a matter of course. While the movie naturally follows Bond most of all, the overall story is actually much more M-centric, and Judi Dench does an excellent job, perhaps even stealing the show at times.
As with other movies since the reboot with Casino Royale, there are elements of transition moving Bond's world back to the more traditional, but heavy use of gadgets aren't really one of them. Well, except for a modified car that's deliberate throw-back. No, most of the evolution (arguably) is with characters, and it works pretty well all told.
All-in-all, it wasn't what I was expecting from the latest Bond flick, but it was quite good.
