Skyfall | Ratings & Reviews

"Putting the "intelligence" in MI6, 'Skyfall' reps a smart, savvy and incredibly satisfying addition to the 007 oeuvre, one that places Judi Dench's M at the centre of the action."

VarietyVariety

"The Daniel Craig era comes of age with a ballsy Bond that takes brave chances and bold risks. Guess what? Turns out you can teach an old dog new tricks."

Total FilmTotal Film

"Whether Mr. Mendes is deploying an explosion or a delectable detail, he retains a crucially human scale and intimacy, largely by foregrounding the performers."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"From the opening in Istanbul to the final siege shootout in the Scottish Highlands, this film is a supremely enjoyable and even sentimental spectacle, giving us an attractively human (though never humane) Bond."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"Triumphantly reinvents 007 in one of the best Bonds ever. This is a full-blooded, joyous, intelligent celebration of a beloved cultural icon, with Daniel Craig taking full possession of a role he previously played unconvincingly."

Roger EbertRoger Ebert

"Though a notch below 'Royale', 'Skyfall' follows that reboot's lead, making a now 50-year-old icon as cool as when he began."

New York Daily NewsNew York Daily News

"A thrilling new chapter in a franchise that by all rights should have been gasping for air - which really makes [Mendes] the hero of this saga."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"Feels more seriously connected to real-world concerns than any previous entry, despite the usual outlandish action scenes..."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"'Skyfall' is pretty much all you could want from a 21st Century Bond: cool but not camp, respectful of tradition but up to the moment, serious in its thrills and relatively complex in its characters but with the sense of fun that hasn't always been evident lately."
