Skyfall: by both mixing and dismissing old and new elements, the series circles back and gains in the process; it wisely keeps the vulnerability (to a degree of course; one can’t change the true nature of the character) seen in the last few entries. Visually, it steps away from the “Bourne” style, and of course with Roger Deakins lensing it, there are a number of great-looking shots. The villain created by Javier Bardem is great, and has a magnificent entrance. Kudos to the creative team for this one.
