This film is a thriller as it contains lots of suspense and mystery. The suspense being 'is Bond dead?', 'how did he survive?', 'will the employer kill M?', 'is Bond going to die again?'and finally 'after everything M has put him through, will Bond save her?'. The mystery throughout the film was the Antagonist as you questioned where he was gonna strike next? Why did he want to kill M? And Who is he? The James Bond film series is one if the biggest films that contains Iconography especially because of the advertising throughout the James Bond films. The fast cars star throughout the film are the most iconic image. But altogether the shadows, guns, knifes, the abandoned warehouse are also iconic images throughout.
Overall I would give Skyfall -
