The Best Moment Of Every James Bond Film - Ranked

3. Skyfall: The Finale

Daniel Craig Casino Royale
MGM

Skyfall is one of the very best James Bond films ever and nearly every moment of it is awesome. So, what comes out on top? It's tempting to go for the stunning opening action sequence and main villain Raoul Silva's (Javier Bardem) unforgettable one-take introductory scene, but in the end, it's got to go to the ending.

James Bond movies are defined by their finales; the one Skyfall delivered is arguably the best Bond finale of all time.

A visually gorgeous, brilliantly exciting siege action sequence with incredible performances and an emotionally devastating death - M, as played by the magnificent Dame Judi Dench - Skyfall's final act is a masterpiece of action cinema. This is the very rare occasion when Bond has actually cried and you might end up doing so too.

In general, Skyfall's ending is a masterpiece of blockbuster cinema and the finest moment of the Daniel Craig films so far. Will No Time to Die, once it is finally f**king released, be able to come up with anything to top this? In fairness, it does look pretty awesome, but don't hold your breath. This finale is something else.
