What Spectre should have been

Rating: 10/10 (10 November 2015)

A very pleasant surprise watching this movie, that I hadn't heard much about beforehand, but this is the best spy/action movie I've seen in a long while. This movie is everything the new Bond should have been and wasn't . Top marks all round, action scenes, the well-acted characters are easy to engage with, storyline although far-fetched has an old style bond kind of narrative to it, as does the tongue in cheek comedy. The baddies are bad and the hero's to be cheered for. It's never going to tax the mind or engage on deeper levels or even end up being a classic, but it's one I'll buy on DVD and watch again. What can I say, watch and enjoy. A second one of these couldn't come soon enough.
