The probable valediction of Craig as Bond but going out on top

Rating: 9/10 (10 December 2015)

After the Bond lite fluffy era of Pierce Brosnan, I welcomed the death- metal incarnation of Daniel Craig's interpretation of 007 with open arms. There's a sense of doomed majesty and grace about his portrayal of the British mega-spy that has been very gratifying to watch over the course of the last three films. "Spectre" is a fitting farewell, IF indeed this is Craig's last outing. I think the casting of Christoph Walz as archnemesis Blofeld was genius, and the supporting roles of M and Q are improving with each episode. I do, however, detest the theme song as performed by Sam Smith. Otherwise, a great send-off for Craig, and I eagerly await the next installment.
