Skyfall

Everyone should know at this point that the Bond franchise will never die regardless of who plays him. Why? Prior to this movie did you not drink the Kool Aid? Everywhere I went or looked prior to this movie opening I was bombarded by James Bond movies, merchandise, trailers, billboards (which were cool) etc. MGM has done a fantastic job marketing this movie.
I admire Daniel Craig's skill as an actor but I don't like him as James Bond (to me Sean Connery is the Michael Jordon of the actors who have played Bond), regardless of that I couldn't wait to see this movie.
I drank the Kool - Aid in all flavors. In Skyfall Bond's loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost.
Director Sam Mendes (American Beauty) has brought back the jokes and follows the blueprint of earlier Bond hits by filming in exotic locations, incorporating a great villain, and having beautiful women. Mendes also adds underrated British actress Naomie Harris (Pirates of the Carribbean) to the cast. Look for her to be part of the series moving forward.

Verdict:
Must see movie for all. James Bond is part of our history and has been passed down from each generation.
Millennials will not be disappointed. Who do you think was the best Bond?
