9/10
Critics are already hailing Spectre as one of the best Bond films yet, but admit it does not quite eclipse Skyfall. With director Sam Mendes once again at the helm he helps bring a touch of class to proceedings.
A gasp-inducing pre-credits sequence against the backdrop of the Day of the Dead festival in Mexico City sets us up for a thrilling ride.
Next we see Bond grappling with a pilot in a spinning helicopter – and this is all in just the first 15 minutes.
Spectre features all you would expect from a great Bond film: amazing gadgets, exotic locations, stunts, a new Aston Martin and a sprinkling of humour.
At nearly two and a half hours running time, it is the longest of all 24 Bond films but it doesn’t feel like it, with a reported budget of £250m well spent.
Craig is superb once again in the title role ensuring that whoever eventually fills his shiny shoes will have a hard act to follow.
