Skyfall - Plugged in movie review

Skyfall Skyfall Done In the movie Skyfall, James Bond is dead. Or so they think. After an opening chase through the streets of Istanbul and a battle atop a speeding train, the British agent is accidentally shot by one of his own. But as we all know, James Bond never stays dead for long. 007 reporting for duty. And when a horribly diabolical evildoer named Silva vows to bring the British Empire to her knees, 007 returns. The suave superspy reports for duty and promises that he’ll do whatever's necessary—kill whomever he has to, slap on as many tuxedos as necessary, drink as many *** martinis as it takes to bring the do-badder to final, terminal justice. Silva wreaks his havoc not with a bevy of henchmen, but through skills as an online hacker. And even the seasoned Bond can't help but start to wonder if his old school brand of wit and brawn might be outmatched by a new generation of high-tech warrior. After 50 years of Bond flicks there's really not a lot of mystery about what to expect from 007. There's heroic service to country on display with loads of well-produced action. This latest generation of Bond is a bit grittier and scarred, but he's the same hard-drinking, hard-knuckled, womanizing license-to-kill guy that we all know. Add in some harsh language and you've got someone who's not exactly suited for family movie night, even in his best tux. I'll be giving Skyfall 2.5 ejector seats out of 5 for family friendliness.
