Skyfall

Fair warning: we have a new Bond.  I know, I know, Daniel Craig isn't exactly "new".  But if any die hard Bond fans were hoping that we'd get back to the misogynistic (said with love), teflon-coated, action-with-no-time-for-reaction Bond... well, we'll always have Connery.  But, if you can get past that -- I think you'll really like this new Bond.  He's not indestructible.  He's not flawless.  He gets dirty and bloody and sometimes the kills aren't pretty but are still solidly categorized as lethal.  And his unwavering loyalty to Queen and country makes his path clear and his aim steady.  Let the past go.  Embrace the Craig.  (p.s. Go M!  And I love Javier Bardem's twist on the usual villain's excessively tired overactive libido schtick!)  Verdict: First Run Theatre
