When I originally watched Skyfall in the theatre when it came out, it was the first Bond movie that I felt like I could follow from start to finish and the plot was clear. It was also a movie that included so many little baby steps back to being the Bond we know and love from before the Pierce Brosnan era. We got the Astin Marin, we got Q, we got a new M, and we got that M’s office with the padded door. It was kind of a return to form.

Not too shabby! Nothing to get too excited about, but the fights were fun. It definitely felt like a karate kid retelling but I was good with it.
