10 Manliest Movies of 2012

7. Skyfall

http://youtu.be/6kw1UVovByw I was ready to write off James Bond after Quantam of Solace was one of the most boring action movies I forced myself to sit through. Then, out of the ashes came Daniel Craig to smack me around like Sean Connery would want him to, and he took me to his family home in Scotland to show me how James Bond does home invasion. Spoiler alert: he does it like an old school badass. The ending action scene in Skyfall is one of the best in the entire Bond franchise, and the rest of the film certainly ain't shabby. Daniel Craig more than demonstrates he is worthy of carrying the mantle of 007, bringing a suave ruthlessness the films haven't had since the early Connery days. Everyone else in the film does great as well (Javier Bardem's Raoul Silva will go down as one of the classic Bond villains, I'm sure), but this is Craig's show and he steals it hands down. I could watch him jump onto a half-destroyed train and fix his cufflinks for days on end.
