The Name's Bond... James Bond




Released last week, the twenty-third installment to the James Bond phenomenon, Skyfall celebrates 50 years of Bond. The Bond series is today as British as bacon sandwiches, cream teas and red double decker buses. With our latest Bond, Daniel Craig, accompanying The Queen in her grand entrance into the Olympic Opening Ceremony. From this unorthodox arrival all eyes where on Bond, the buzz had begun and the globe was hungry for a fresh Bond fix. The latest instalment does not disappoint and takes the Bond franchise to a new pinnacle of quality.  


Glittered with high-flying top stars, the Skyfall credits give any A-List guest list a run for its money. Directed by Sam Mendes and starring Dame Judi Dench, Daniel Craig, Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney, Berenice Marlohe, Naomie Harris to name but a few. Also boasting a star-studded Leicester Square premiere to match, with guests including Rachel Weisz, Kelly Brooke, Tess Daly and Tamara Ecclestone. 


The blockbuster movie has cashed in on the biggest opening week in James Bond history, grossing £20.1 million in Britain and Ireland alone and the theme by Adele shooting straight to the number one in the iTunes chart less than 10 hours after its release. 



From the moment the iconic theme tune boomed through the cinema with the opening credits, we knew 007 was back with vengeance! Immediately immersed in the action, the film begins with a car, motorbike and train chase across the rooftops of Istanbul in which Bond is in hot pursuit of the stolen hard drive containing a list of MI6 special agents. The plot follows the mission to track down the villain who has penetrated the MI6 computer system and planted a bomb in the department’s Millbank HQ that leads them underground.    



Arguably the best bond yet, Skyfall contains every magic ingredient audiences lush for – special effects, storybook villains, fast paced chases, exotic eastern locations, beautiful Bond girls, Daniel Craig steaming with sex appeal, flawless acting from Judi Dench for the 7th time, a smart, savvy and sarcastic sense of humor and more excitement and energy than ever before!


Aston Martins, pyrotechnics and heart stopping action scenes leave you hanging to your seat and holding your breath throughout. Concluding for the first time ever, the final credits confidently suggest another film coming soon. 


From a group of girls with no great interest in male orientated action films, we give Skyfall a outstanding 10/10, and that’s saying something when our primary motive was to stare mindlessly into the piercing eyes of Daniel Craig.  


Incase you are yet to see it, here is the Skyfall trailer to have you salivating for more…
