So what if I told you my 2nd favorite movie of 2012 had like 20+ sequels? Well at first this thought may seem striking but if you think about what came out in 2012, you'd realize it was nothing other than...
Bond. James Bond.
NUMBER 2
SKYFALL
Heck ya! What's more interesting than Bond facing off any other villains? Facing Javier Bardem. Javier Bardem was an awesome villain in this film. He was disturbed, wanted revenge, and he didn't care if he would die as long as he got it. He was a former MI-6 agent, and his main goal is to kill M.
Another unique quality about this Bond as opposed to other Bond films was that this one was a bit darker for 007 himself. The movie starts with an exciting action sequence which results in Bond's DEATH! Oh snap... SPOILER ALERT!~!~! Yes, James Bond is believed to have died in the early stretch of our film, but of course he didn't! Else, we wouldn't have a movie.
So what do I mean by darker? Bond is a struggling drunk. He has shrapnel in his shoulder. He is trying to prove to MI-6 his is capable of active service. He's trying to stop M's assassination while dealing with all of his issues. Although all the women want him and all the men want to be him, Skyfall shows Bond in a more realistic sense. He's just like everyone else. He's human folks. He has issues. Physical. Psychological. Mental. All the above. So how does he deal with all of this? By showing us a Bond we've never seen before.
SKYFALL---89%(B+)

I am sorry I can't get behind an actor who is against the public owning guns then tries to be James Bond. The movie it self may have been great story but for me I can't watch Daniel Craig without that in my mind.
