Great fun but not without faults.

Rating: 8/10 (30 October 2015)

Saw this a few days ago and it's really interesting reading other peoples views on the film... so here's mine.
What's Good: Beautifully shot, great music, opening action and credits superb, moves at a nice pace and at no point does it drag, the baddies are bad, the heroine is very good and believable, M is excellent, and you walk out of the cinema with a smile on your face wondering where the 150 minutes went! What's not so good: The plot keeps jumping without explanation. Bond films were never hard to understand, it is all about the action, but in Spectre there are at least three times where you're wondering why is Bond here doing this? This forces you to come out of the moment until you work it out for yourself (or guess, or dismiss until later) then go back into the film. This fault in the narrative does leave the film feeling like a series of stunts and situations rather than a linear story that carries you along and it really does need to be addressed in the next Bond outing.
One of Bond's sexual exploits in this movie seems to happen for no apparent reason and with someone totally inappropriate... even for him! And it still doesn't seem believable that Q is a wimpy kid in charge of everything macho i.e. guns, gadgets, cars etc ( very little time spent on the car itself) and where are all the other people helping him! Doesn't work, sorry, Basil Fawlty was bad but this is not the answer, just doesn't ring true.
What's bad: The demise of the baddie and the secondary baddie. One is ridiculously cheesy and totally out of character and the other is a disappointment.
Overall: Go and see it.... it's BOND!
