Spectre (I) (2015)
7/10
It's like the older Bond films, for better and worse.
22 December 2015
After the slew of serious movies, this is the tongue-in-cheek fantasy- like homage to the 60's Bond films that we wanted. There's lots of beautiful locales, a Day of the Dead parade, Bautista playing a beautiful henchman, Waltz playing the villain, Aston Martin chases and the most gags out of all the Craig films thus far. There's lots of welcome nostalgic throwbacks like a train fight, an evil lair and skiing scenes.

The plot relies on the standard Bond formula, the backstory of the villain is underwhelming and the climax is a little weak, but the first two acts of the film were great and as a whole, this is a very entertaining action film.
