Skyfall Reviews
Cinema Sight
One of the better bonds, but it isn't as good as Daniel Craig's first outing.

Movies With Butter
Solicits swoons like the best Bonds ever did, even if Bond's dangerously close to decommission.
Concrete Playground
A very British Bond, and also a very personal one.

Movie Metropolis
It ought to win a prize just for reconnecting with what made the franchise successful in the first place, while also repositioning the Bond films for the '10s.

Austin American-Statesman
The film serves as a trip back to the beginning of the 50-year-old cinematic legend and the promise of a golden future with Craig in the role of 007.

Top CriticIt's been a long time since I enjoyed a Bond movie so much.
Projection Booth
What propels this grisly chapter is the characters' keen sense of agency.
Film and Felt
Skyfall epitomizes what a Bond movie should be, and its director, for once, justifiably deserves much of the credit.

Skyfall isn't quite a throwback to the absurd thrills of the 007 films of old, but it does inject some fun back into the franchise.

The Scorecard Review
As the saying goes, you've got to shake 22 Bond films, before the 23rd is stirred to perfection. Without a doubt, this is the best James Bond movie.

PopMatters
James Bond looks broken and weary, an embodiment of a traditional model of international spydom, the one premised on national borders, white-Western-wealthy entitlements, and excessive consumptions of alcohol, cars, and women.
ABC Radio (Australia)
I have no compulsion whatsoever in declaring Skyfall, in terms of cinematography, the best looking Bond film ever ... Action movies simply don't look like this - but ... this is no ordinary action movie.

Sentimental touches underscore the fun and frivolity of Bond's past while relishing the brutal landscape of the modern day super-spy.
