The Author of all Bonds pain... really?

Rating: 7/10 (27 October 2015)

Welcome back Mr Bond but is it goodbye Mr Craig?
I am sure you have all heard about how fantastic the opening is and it really is good but does it stop there? Locations are fantastic, cinematography excellent and Craig is brilliant. For me there wasn't a single character other than Craig that made an impact on this film. Christoph Waltz you would expect going into this film to be possibly the best Bond villain of all time but give me Mr Silva any day of the week. The movie feels like a love letter to all other Bond films and the references to Royal, Quantum and Skyfall are constant throughout. I am tired of this now, why can't we see Craig on a new adventure and not be reminded about Vesper every 5 minutes. Waltz is apparently the genius behind everything Craig has gone through as his portrayal as Bond, I for one am not buying it. Skyfall felt like it was the re- birth of Bond but this has taken a step back in some ways.
Is the 00 Sector dead? No, not after this but I don't think Craig will be back as 007. I think he has said his goodbyes and if it is his last then we must thank him for his service!
It is however nice to have some of the Classic Bond back in this film. Spectre is a great watch but for me it didn't feel like it was going anywhere. I just hope we can now move on from the other films and create something new. Lets make it less of a personal mission and something more "for England James?"
