The movie received generally positive reviews from critics; Rotten Tomatoes sampled 290 reviewers and judged 92% of the reviews to be positive. Kim Newman from 'Empire' concluded, "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 but with the sense of fun that hasn't always been evident lately". Roger Ebert of the 'Chicago Sun-Times' gave the film 4 out of 4 stars, describing it as, "a full-blooded, joyous, intelligent celebration of a beloved cultural icon".
