For my money the best Bond film yet, "Skyfall," behind the spectacular movie train fight, the fun-house mirrors of a Shanghai skyscraper elevator, and other iconic locations, is a more personal story centered on M and her past. It's clear from the incredible opening sequences that M (Judi Dench) is not infalible, and James Bond (the redoubtable Daniel Craig), is all too human. A specter from M's past, coldly play by Javier Bardem, wreaks revenge on MI6, and Bond and M each confront their past life in a, shall we say, explosive showdown. I especially enjoyed it in IMAX, which director Sam Mendes took some pains and expense to use extensively.
