Sinister Spectre

Rating: 10/10 (10 November 2015)

This is my first review so please bare with me.
I recently saw Spectre and was blown away. There seems an awful lot of nay sayers who are announcing how Sam Mendez has ruined Craigs run as Bond. I feel this is quite the opposite.
First off, it seems people have forgotten where this franchise started with comments of "Austin Powers-like" Whatever that means. Bond was the template and progenitor of the super-spy genre and now, with Spectre comes full circle without being cheesy.
Amazing action scenes, brutal fights and an exciting car chase. Not to mention an intriguing story that reintroduces the evil organisation of Spectre to modern audiences excellently. From the very start there is a slow build of dread and a definitely feel that something sinister is lurking behind the scenes in the shadows.
And on occasion, you actually feel like Bond is in trouble and over his head. Of course. we all know he's going to be OK but Mendez manages to inject that momentary feeling of doubt for Bonds safety on a couple of occasions.
Stunning performances all round. Well rounded Bond "Girls" and yes. a throwback to the earlier Bonds but that's not a bad thing.
If you've wanted a Bond film that successfully merges Craigs gritty Casino Royale with all the old school touches look no further.
So go take a look and decide for yourself. Because as Mr Bond says-
"Well, It's all a matter of perspective"
