A return to formulaic Bond

Rating: 8/10 (1 November 2015)

First of all, let me start off by saying that Daniel Craig is a superb Bond and i think he'll be sorely missed when he hands in his tuxedo. He (in my mind) is the best actor to have ever played Bond and i for one have enjoyed his version of Bond in all 4 movies.
This film looks to capture the spirit of Bond of the 70s and early 80s and mainly succeeds but there are a few concerns. If you are a die hard Bond fan as i am, then you will revel in this movie. Even with a running length of 148 minutes, it's still a relentless action film and the amount of references to previous Bond installments never gets tiring.
On the other hand, fans of the rebooted Bond starting with Casino Royale might be put off with the retro direction the film takes,and i can understand that it might frustrate some people.
So this film will not please everybody (what film does) but that aside, this is still a glorious entry in the long running Bond franchise with much to savor for old and new fans alike.
