Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn fifty years of James Bond movies, this is only the second one in which Bond suffers a gunshot wound. He was also shot in Thunderball (1965) during the Junkanoo chase.
- GoofsBoth Silva and Bond slide down the center escalator divider in the chase in the tube station. This would not be possible since, on the London Underground, there are protruding metal discs at regular intervals to prevent exactly this behavior.
- Quotes
[Bond stares at the porcelain bulldog statue on M's desk]
James Bond: The whole office goes up in smoke and that bloody thing survives.
M: Your interior decorating tips have always been appreciated, 007.
- Crazy creditsBond's traditional shot towards the camera, seen through the barrel of a gun, is placed at the end of this, film rather than the beginning. After the blood stops dripping, the James Bond 50th Anniversary logo appears with the words "James Bond will return," below it.
- Alternate versionsIn the European theatrical release, BBC journalist Huw Edwards presents a news report about the attack on MI6's HQ that prompts Bond to come back from the dead. In the North American release, CNN journalist Wolf Blitzer presents it instead.
- ConnectionsEdited into Omega 'Skyfall' Television Commercial (2012)
Featured review
I first saw this with my family in a theatre in 2012.
Revisited it recently on a dvd which I own.
This is my all time fav Bond film.
This is the twenty-third in the Bond series n the third to star Daniel Craig as James Bond.
This time Bond returns to service after MI6's servers are hacked and M receives a taunting computer message moments before the MI6 building explodes.
Inspite of failing a series of physical, medical, and psychological examinations, Bond returns to the field to pursue an assassin known as Patrice n to recover a stolen hard drive containing details of undercover agents which is in the hands of Patrice's employer, Raoul Silva, a cyberterrorist seeking revenge against those he holds responsible for betraying him.
I love the pre credit scene in this one, the motorcycle chase on the rooftops is awesome, the train chase sequence is adrenaline filled n the scene at The Varda Viaduct is amazeballs.
The climactic action is more old skool n filled with solid atmosphere.
The title track along with the picturization n Bond's fall from The Varda Viaduct is very gothic like.
The abandoned palatial house, the vast moors, the chapel, the secret passageway, the isolation n the sky almost touching the ground, is filled with top notch atmosphere.
This time Bond faces Raoul Silva n lots of his henchmen n a komodo dragon.
Bond also faces Patrice, a mercenary working for Silva.
This time Bond gets to cool off with Naomie Harris, Tonia Sotiropoulou n Berenice Marlohe.
In this movie, for the first n last time we get to see Moneypenny doing field work along with Bond and later how she opted for the iconic desktop work.
