The new Bond series returns to the old formula in Skyfall and delivers a typical Bondian style action/adventure film. When MI6 comes under attack by a former Double-O agent, James Bond must track him down and stop his attacks. Unfortunately, the series steps back from the harder, grittier tone that the Craig films have been going for and tries to return to the campiness of the Connery era. As a result, the characters are rather stereotypical and the performances aren't as interesting. However, the film still delivers on the intense, gripping action sequences, and there are a number of fun homages to classic Bond. Skyfall is an entertaining and thrilling action film, but it's lost some of the edginess that has made this rebooted series so compelling.
