Rated M
Score 5/6

A cryptic message from Bond’s past sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organization. While M battles political forces to keep the secret service alive, Bond peels back the layers of deceit to reveal the terrible truth behind SPECTRE.

Could this be the final ever Bond movie made? I highly doubt it especially if you take into consideration that the franchise’s total worldwide box office is estimated to be in the realm of $6,487,752,472 and its certainly not the last one for Daniel Craig considering that he is said to be contractually obligated for one more Bond movie. Though if you take into consideration with the tenure of Daniel Craig as James Bond and that each of his Bond movies seemingly have been bigger and louder then it predecessor (Spectre managed to prove that with its pre-title sequence which was brilliant action sequence in Mexico City, probably one that will stick in my mind for awhile) some serious thought should be given to how future Bond adventures are told. What I really liked about Spectre with reveal of Blofeld and the terrorist organisation known as SPECTRE the filmmakers linked all of the villains from Craig’s previous movies to SPECTRE. So what I would personally like to see with future Bond adventures that future directors run with the idea of there being a greater to effort to link adventures together so that larger story arcs could be told.
Christoph Waltz gave a great performance as you would expect. Possibly an odd casting choice was Dave Bautista in the role of Hinx. Though Bautista was a brilliant choice for the role physically maybe it would have been a better idea to give the role to any actor with fewer acting credits to their name considering that the character of Hinx had so few lines. Léa Seydoux gave a good performance, though maybe her character was a little under-utilised, I really would like to see her character come back in a future Bond adventure.
