RESURRECTION MAN: 007's 'SKYFALL'

The second teaser poster for the new James Bond adventure starring Daniel Craig: SKYFALL. Images: MGM/SONY.

He may not give a damn about how he likes his martini's made these days, but we can always count on 007 James Bond, the British Secret Service's most elite and successful agent, to fulfil his duty to Queen and Country, and keeping his license to kill fresh and bloodily active. Though updated for the modern era, and always seemingly one step ahead of the news headlines when it comes to storytelling and the always shifting environment his newest baddies emerge from, Daniel Craig's fresh and intimidating incarnation of Bond retains most of the iconic elements that have made the part so successful on screen these past glorious fifty years, continuing the modern counterblast trend to today's political correctness, thank goodness, as the ultimate bed hopping, globe-trotting, screen action killing machine we've always loved, admired and occasionally feared-the evolutionized Mister Kiss Kiss Bang Bang- for his next big screen, all digital action/adventure experience, of which nobody does it better: SKYFALL.

Has Bond met his physical and intellectual match in the outcast cyber-revolutionist Silva (Javier Bardem)?
