Saw "Skyfall" yesterday. Not a big Bond fan and went to this one, basically, because it was the only English language movie around and was half-price. Maybe it benefited from low expectations, but I thought it was great. The Bond series is becoming more like the Bourne series, but this one had a sense of humor that was wicked and paid homage to the '60's Bond movies without dwelling on it. Judi Dench is still in it, but they've added Raph Fiennes, Javier Bardem and Albert Finney. And the "Bond Girl" is updated, yet still sexy.
On a minor note, the opening credits were the best I've ever seen.
