Daniel Craig stars in the critically-acclaimed thriller
A James Bond film that's been acclaimed as the best movie in the entire spy series is now available to stream for free.
‌
Helmed by Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes, Skyfall has recently landed on ITVX, much to the delight of action fans.
‌
The 2012 blockbuster, featuring Daniel Craig as the iconic secret agent, garnered widespread acclaim upon its release.
‌
It tracks Bond's pursuit of a hitman through Istanbul's bustling streets, aiming to retrieve a stolen list that could expose undercover MI6 agents.
When the operation disastrously fails, M (portrayed by Dame Judi Dench) is forced to take drastic steps to safeguard the intelligence service, reports the Mirror.
‌
Craig is joined by Naomie Harris, a familiar face to Bond fans from her roles in subsequent instalments of the series.
The cast also boasts the talents of Academy Award winner Javier Bardem, 28 Years Later star Ralph Fiennes and French actress Bérénice Marlohe.
As anticipated with such an impressive cast, Skyfall was met with immediate success.
‌
It secured an impressive 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where critics lauded: "Sam Mendes brings Bond surging back with a smart, sexy, riveting action thriller that qualifies as one of the best 007 films to date."
Moreover, the spy epic was nominated for five Oscars, contending in categories such as Best Cinematography, Best Original Score and Best Sound Mixing.
In the end, the film triumphed at the Oscars, clinching awards for Best Sound Editing and Best Original Song, the latter awarded to Adele for her chart-topping track, Skyfall.
‌
Cinema enthusiasts were captivated by the film, with one Google reviewer stating: "By far the best Bond Movie I've ever seen especially given the amazing performances of Javier Braden."
Another agreed, writing: "Skyfall in my view is the best Bond film ever made. No Time To Die is good but this Bond film will always have the edge above others."
An IMDb user also contributed their praise, noting: "This is one of the best Bond movies I have ever seen."
They continued to laud the film, saying: "The story is superbly put together and has some interesting twists, the action is well done and contains none of the shaky cam which plagued the last film. The actors all do a great job."
