Skyfall (2012 Sam Mendes)

What I said last time, only the Shanghai scenes really are fabulously shot!

Plenty of good writing but yes, too long (143 minutes). Refreshingly eschews sex altogether; concentrates instead on loyalty between Bond and M.

Really great idea to bring in Mendes and his team, resulting in a rather different (and better) Bond film. Mendes' Bond 24 is apparently in rewrites.

Also features the best credit scene ever, by Daniel Kleinman, and the best song in ages.

Editing credit is shared with Kate Baird, presumably related to Stuart in some way.
