Do not believe the negativity, this is a great movie. Almost a throwback film. I really enjoyed this a lot.

"Welcome, James. You've come across me so many times, yet you never saw me. What took you so long?" James Bond (Craig) is becoming obsolete. With the advent and use of drones MI6 is debating whether to discontinue the 00 program. Bond is not helping and his wit and short temper has gotten him suspended. When he receives a message from his past he decides to track down the leader of the secret organization called SPECTRE and put an end to the pain once and for all. Full disclosure...I am a huge Bond fan. There have been very few Bond's that I haven't enjoyed (Timothy Dalton anyone?) and I was very excited about this one. I did hear some of the negative things said about it but still went in with an open mind. I enjoyed it quite a bit and loved all the call backs to previous movies. I did not expect this to be as good as Skyfall, that one was one of the best ones ever and it would be hard to follow. Daniel Craig has been so good in these movies that I think that he has become a victim of his own success. Of the four he has made I think this is the 3rd best, but being behind Casino Royale and Skyfall is nothing to be ashamed of. This movie also added a little more comedy than then others had and most people didn't like that. If you go back and watch the previous movies Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan had comedy all over their movies and it worked. It worked in this one as well, but because his have been so serious people weren't expecting this. This is a great movie and easily in the top half of all Bond films. Overall, do not believe the negativity, this is a great movie. Almost a throwback film. I give this a high B+.
