Skyfall


Skyfall is the twenty-third James Bond film and the third starring Daniel Craig as Agent 007.  In this film, a list of all of MI6 agents is stolen, ironically it was due to 007 failing his mission (although truth be told, it wasn't his fault).  We see 007 fall from grace and then back up again as months later, the identities of MI6 agents are being leaked, consequently causing their deaths.  The first 1.5 hours or so of the movie was good as 007 tracks the mastermind.  The plot and pacing was tight but in the climax of the film, it ended up reverting back to action sequences and gunfights.  It seemed to throw the involved plotting of the antagonist away and contrasted against the rest of the film, not to mention being overly long, causing the film to reach 2.5 hours in length.  The music was really good and Daniel Craig's performance is as solid as ever.
