I just rewatched Skyfall and it confirmed my love of this film. I know Casino Royale gets a lot of love here and everywhere...it's a great film and a wonderful reboot that took the bad taste out of our mouths from the later Brosnan films like Die Another Day. But I still prefer Skyfall over it.
While Casino Royale added a lot of depth to the Bond character and gave a great dynamic between Bond and Vesper, Skyfall has depth all over the place. It explores Bond's childhood, his drug addiction, his relationship with M, and gives great starts to new relationships with Mallory, Eve Moneypenny, and Q (a well done smaller role by Albert Finney as well). It also has a nice ending arc for M with Judi Dench giving a fantastic performance, and I liked the ending with a Bond meets Home Alone stripped down battle where Bond does not have the advantage in technology. Javier Bardem was a great villain, the film looks gorgeous, and the opening song by Adele is one the best Bond songs. Overall, I find the film top notch and it may be my favorite Bond Film.
