'Skyfall' Release Date Nov. 9, Trailer Video & Review; Daniel Craig 'Has Taken Over'
The latest James Bond film comes out in theaters across the nation on Nov. 9 and it is said to be one of the hottest 007 films yet.
The 23rd spy film made a mark in the United Kingdom, where the film was released on Oct. 26. "Skyfall" opened to an estimated $32.4 million and set a new all-time Saturday attendance record, according to Deadline. It was also the biggest opening of 2012 and the biggest 2D Friday-to-Sunday opening weekend in history in the UK.
The film is produced by Eon Productions, and distributed by MGM and Sony Pictures Entertainment. "Skyfall" stars Daniel Craig once again as the famous international spy and ladies man, and his "Bond Girl" is played by Bérénice Marlohe. Also in the film are Javier Bardem, Naomie Harris and Judi Dench, who has been in every James Bond film since 1995.
In the film, Bond's loyalty to M (Dench) is tested as her past comes back to haunt her, revealing new secrets that might be connected to the new attack MI6 faces, according to IMDb. Bond tracks down and destroy the threats though it hits close to home considering his friendship with M.
"Skyfall" is Craig's third James Bond film and his performance in the film received positive reviews.
"The James Bond movie franchise is 50 years old, but judging from the latest entry, 'Skyfall,' it's aged remarkably well," The Christian Science Monitor said. "Daniel Craig, in his third outing as 007, has taken over the role in a way that makes it his as distinctively as it was Sean Connery's all those years ago."
In terms of the overall film, "Skyfall" is being called a film to be remembered. The Chicago Sun- Times stated the following:
"With the dismal 'Quantum of Solace' (2008) still in our minds, 'Skyfall' triumphantly reinvents 007 in one of the best Bonds ever. This is a full-blooded, joyous, intelligent celebration of a beloved cultural icon, with Daniel Craig taking full possession of a role he earlier played well in "Casino Royale...I don't know what I expected in Bond No. 23, but certainly not an experience this invigorating."
