A marketing coup

Rating: 4/10 (1 November 2015)

While Spectre is not a terrible film (not one of the better ones in the series), it is very annoying to see how easy it was to bribe the 'professional' film reviewers into falling over themselves to praise this product-placement vehicle.
The film contains the usual excellent stunts, but lacks any plot, continuity, or acting worthy of such a description. It's about as close to a Fleming story as Die Hard.
It's sad to see how this British staple has been so easily destroyed by greed. A lot of people are being paid off, and I only hope audiences don't fall for the hype. It really isn't worth going to see. If you like Bond and Daniel Craig, get a copy of Casino Royal - his only decent outing (and interestingly an actual Fleming book, not the work of 3/4 conflicting writers).
