Critics Consensus

Spectre nudges Daniel Craig's rebooted Bond closer to the glorious, action-driven spectacle of earlier entries, although it's admittedly reliant on established 007 formula.

Perhaps it's my own fatigue with the Bond franchise and the knowledge of exactly where it will go and how things will turn out that makes the old-fashioned and nicely campy Spectre not as gripping a ride as I would have wanted it to be.

It is a tired retread that offers little new or original, taking 007 to the one place he's arguably never been before: irrelevance.

Rated: 2/4

Daniel Craig recently said that he'd rather "kill himself" than do another Bond film -- and in Spectre, his misery shows.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

The most crucial and effective answer "Spectre" provides to combat the ominous expectations before it is talent.

Like Connery, it’s hard to say goodbye to such an iconic character.

The less said about Monica Bellucci’s part the better. Anyone from that quite large group of fans wishing for years for Bellucci to be in a Bond film will surely be furious at all she’s given to do here, and how little of it there is.

The technology is amazing, acting exceptionally good and absorbing. We were gripping the edges of our seats in some scenes.

Very enjoyable and was one of the best Bond movies we have seen for the first two thirds. Then it became very much as we have seen before. And it dragged. It was also very silly. There was no need for it at all. This was a clear case of "Less is More". We still give it four stars because it was excellent for the majority of the movie. Daniel Craig at his very best. We missed it the first time around and glad we caught it at the reboot.

Explosive, electric and thrilling Bond caper. Set us up perfectly for Craig's final swansong. Lea Seydoux one of the most beautiful Bond girls ever.

Spectre looks the part but lacks the punch and precision of the best Bond outings. A beautiful but hollow spectacle.

Spectre may have its fair share of flaws but it's still a decent thrilling, action packed James Bond movie, however what truly stands out the most from this film is the song "Writing On The Wall" by Sam Smith. If you truly love this film give a watch, if not you're probably better off watching a classic film of the franchise, sure it not the greatest film ever made but it's still better than "A View To A Kill".

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Riley S.

A mixed bag of Bond. The opening in Mexico City? Absolutely gorgeous and one of the best cold opens in the franchise. The train fight? Peak 007. But everything tying it all together feels like it’s straining under the weight of its own “this is all connected” plot. Christoph Waltz does his best, but making every villain from the Craig era part of one big master plan felt forced. Not bad, just… shaken, not stirred.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
