Spectre review

Bond...it's James Bond. The Bond films have always entertained, however unrealistic and over the top action but always entertaining. Sure the faces of the main character have changed over the years (actors always trying to outdo each other) and the most recent face of Bond actor Daniel Craig bought a more mature almost robotic, no nonsense and mechanically cool person to the screen. This is how many of us imagine a hardened trained assassin to be and no frills added. Much as I have enjoyed the movies over the years: Bond has outlived his appeal. He has earned a much deserved retirement and rightly so.This latest instalment continues the story started  in "casino royal" and is a fitting end to said story. I came out of the cinema pleased with what I saw and also thinking to myself that I hope that this is the last we see of Bond. Although the action in this doesn't hold up to previous Bond movies it was fitting to the story and speaking of stories, this was a pretty mature story from what we've seen before. If you are a fan of Bond movies then this is a no brainer for you and even if you aren't I would advise you to go see all four movies (casino royal, quantum of solace, skyfall and spectre) as this one makes more sense if you have seen the previous movies. Also I would like to issue a challenge to you Bond fans out there and that is to count the number of scenes reminiscent to the old Bond movies.
