I think we all know that Brosnan era Bond got a bit bogged down in convoluted evil genus plots. And though Casino Royale and QoS revamped James Bond as a character, the plots remained somewhat lethargic. The plot of Skyfall is streamlined and we get to see Bond get back to what he does best, some old fashioned espionage. With Q, M, and Moneypenny this felt like more of a revamp than Casino Royale did. Quite a bit of visual and spoken references to older Bond movies made this a very satisfying watch. Dialogue got cheesy (not in a good way) at times, special effects weren't great and used a bit more than necessary (i.e. scorpion and Komodo dragon), acting was passing except for Bardem (who was a knockout). I highly recommend this film as it is probably the best Bond film of my lifetime.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
