	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Kim Newman Empire	"Skyfall is pretty much all you could want from a 21st Century Bond: cool but not camp, respectful of tradition but up to the moment, serious in its thrills and relatively complex in its characters (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"A smart, savvy and incredibly satisfying addition to the 007 oeuvre (...) Mendes puts the actors at the forefront, exploring their marvelously complex emotional states in ways the franchise has never before dared."	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"A serious and spectacular show. (...) Feels more seriously connected to real-world concerns than any previous entry, despite the usual outlandish action scenes"	POS
United Kingdom	Xan Brooks The Guardian	"Skyfall allows sentimentality to cloud its judgment and loosen its tongue. In so doing, it risks blowing James Bond's cover for good. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Joe Neumaier New York Daily News	"A great high-voltage thriller (...) Though a notch below 'Royale,' 'Skyfall' follows that reboot's lead, making a now 50-year-old icon as cool as when he began."	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"This is Bond like you've never seen him and a dynamite Daniel Craig, never better in the role, nails Bond's ferocity and feeling. Skyfall is smashing, just smashing (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Johnny Loftus Decider	"'Skyfall' is a rip-roaring action film, too, with elite direction, terrific lighting and editing, and strong work from a talented cast"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"'Skyfall' triumphantly reinvents 007 in one of the best Bonds ever. This is a full-blooded, joyous, intelligent celebration of a beloved cultural icon (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"	POS
