' Skyfall ' is the most awaited film of 2012 produced by Barbara Broccoli.

The Case : 

( Spoiler Alert ! )

Actually there is no mark in explaining the casing, because it will suck away all the fun from the cine. Rambling fans of the first two movies expecting convivial mythology in the Bond Universe will not let down. The film set is in Istaanbul and narrates a new score this time. This time Bond ( Daniel Craig ) is on a mission at Istaanbul where M's ( Judi Dench ) to niche her. Raoul Silva ( Javier Bardem ) is the knavery aspect of this film. Bond here as usual is loyal, ambitious, avid and zealous.

Raoul Silva, the former MI6 agent, confess that he was betrayed and abrupted by M. Too she leaves him to be tormented and lets him go behind the bars. M apparently gave him up because she thought that the things done by Silva were too critical and formidable.

Eve ( Naomie Harris ) , MI6 agent, handles her tasks at her level best. The first scene is where Bond is on a mission to find his MI6 mate Ronson in Istaanbul, where he has a tough chase with a pro hitman Patrice (Ola Rapace ) The scene just blurly reminds the Casino Royale Embassy Chase.

Silva gets arrested by Q ( Ben Whishaw ) , the Quartermaster, when Bond calls on the Royal Navy for support in order to arrest the former. M at the quarters accosts Silva about his attacks and plans but Silva restrains from telling her and  escapes of when Q tries to access Silva's computer thus freeing him. Bond though chases him but Silva disguises as a police officer and makes his way. Q just in time impels him over CCTV images and Bond chases him. At last Bond branches Silva but Silva explodes a bomb fulminately thus escaping from Bond's hands. He then along with some of his ally, all dressed in police uniforms, heads to kill M at MP's meeting. Bond arrives just in time to save M and drives her off alone to safety. He switches on to his old Aston Martin DB5 with all his widgets and gimmicks working, which meets Mallory ( Ralph Fiennes ) approval.

Bond and M travels to Scotland to the Bond family estate ' Skyfall '. Silva lays an array of booby traps were Bond's loyalty to M is testened. M though gets off through a secret tunnel but Silva hard knocking waves of henchmens injuring M. M collapses to her bullet wound and dies on the spot. Bond kills Silva with a knife throwing him at his back. Mallory becomes the new M at the end.


Conclusion: 

SKYFALL is a hell of a bang. Believe the advertising buildup, Javier is the ' Joker ' of the Bond franchise.


' Must watch this fucking bit of cinema ! '
