Reasons why you should DEFINITELY watch Spectre and avoid the negative reviews (no spoilers)

Rating: 9/10 (12 November 2015)

Firstly, I must start out by saying that this review may be a little biased as I am a HUGE Bond fan, however, I will do my best to take a neutral position.
The 24th instalment in the 007 franchise is the best Bond film yet. Heck, I'd even go as far as saying it's my favourite movie EVER.
Ever since I was 4 years old, my Grandfather has been 'feeding' me Bond movies. Growing up in the Brosnan/Craig ever, I've been lucky enough to see some of the best 007 films, including Goldeneye, Skyfall, Casino Royale and now Spectre. Despite this, I still have a keen interest in the classic Bond like all good fans do (out of every actor, Moore is still my sentimental favourite). After seeing Skyfall 3 years ago, I thought it was the ultimate Bond as it incorporated everything I could ever imagine to be in a Bond movie, but Spectre has eclipsed that.
As a keen movie critic, I always research, research and research any movie I want to see. However, with Spectre I didn't, because I had been waiting so long for this I didn't want anything to bring down my hopes and ruin it for me. This goes out to all those in the same boat, who perhaps have been let down by some negative reviews.
It took 5 seconds and I was already captivated. I had a tear in my eye and not even a single word had been said (Bond fanatics will know why). The Craig films are renown for their incredible first scenes, and did not disappoint. It was sexy, exciting, dramatic and overall epic! It set up the movie perfectly too. Despite what many have been saying, I thought the script was great. There's the perfect amount of humour, seriousness and drama.
Despite this fantastic open, I will agree that the first half of the movie was slightly boring. While I was sitting there thinking "this movie is great", at the same time I was saying to myself "this isn't as good as Skyfall".
Then, enter Christoph Waltz. Oh. My God. Waltz is the single best villain of any of the Craig films. Just to emphasise how good I think he was, I rated Silva's performance in Skyfall a 10/10. The only problem, there wasn't enough of him! The subplot that occurs throughout Bond's quest in the film was good and entertaining as it gave M (Fiennes), Q (Wishaw) and Moneypenny (Harris) all a valuable role Furthermore, it is also was highly relevant to current affair events in the real world, which I thought was great. Nonetheless, the 'villain' in this subplot was far too cliché and could have still maintained this sub plot without him in it.
Dr Swann (Seydoux) was easily my favourite Bond girl ever, because she was nothing like the rest. She represented power and faith, not just eye candy like most Bond girls. Bellucci was irrelevant, in fact, I don't even remember what happened to her?
While the actors and the characters were fantastic, the part about the movie I loved most was that it proved that Bond is still the best. Throughout the movie, Bond was always chasing something. Like Skyfall, Bond's weaknesses were showing constantly, and the end of Bond (Craig's Bond) looked near. However, for James Bond, when there's a will there's a way. I won't say anymore, I'll just finish it off with this:
The last few scenes are the reasons why I watch movies. I left the cinema in tears of pure joy in the incredible spectacle I was so fortunate to watch. If this is Craig's last film, I will die happy. Spectre is the best film ever. Period.
Anyway, I'm off to go see it a second time...
