With the release date looming closer, a batch of new images from the 23rd James Bond film Skyfall has landed online.  Director Sam Mendes takes the reins this time around with Daniel Craig’s Bond facing off against an uber-creepy Javier Bardem as the film’s villain.  These new images are revelatory in that we learn James Bond has difficulty shaving when there are ladies present, and he gets very angry when you knock over his favorite statue.

Hit the jump to check out the images.  The film also stars Naomi Harris, Berenice Marlohe, Judi Dench, Ralph Fiennes, and Ben Whishaw.  Skyfall opens on November 9th.

Here’s the synopsis for Skyfall:

Daniel Craig is back as James Bond 007 in Skyfall, the 23rd adventure in the longest-running film franchise of all time.  In Skyfall, Bond’s loyalty to M (Judi Dench) is tested as her past comes back to haunt her.  As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost.
