About

You may like Skyfall if you enjoy sleek spy thrillers with big action, a strong central performance, and a more personal Bond story; Not for you if you want a tightly realistic plot or nonstop lighthearted fun, like The Bourne Ultimatum or Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation.

Pros: strong lead performance; memorable villain; thrilling action | Cons: uneven story; implausible moments; rushed character beats
