'Spectre' is another solid James Bond adventure. It doesn't tread much new ground, but it delivers what we've come to expect, and does so with class. The action is plentiful. Exciting chases/fights are shot with as much practicality as possible. Always a plus. Being a direct continuation to 'Skyfall', I wasn't expecting a lighter and more fanciful tone such as present. Bond's character has been taken back to his wild and lose days. The story attempts to tie together the events of the previous three Bond Films in a way that involves the character's personal history. It builds to a revelation which doesn't seem all too revealing given that so much (plot wise) is borrowed from the oldest of 007 movies. There's a bit too much recycling for me to be as involved this time. I still had a good deal of fun. Craig is the smoothest he's ever been, managing more laughs and confidence per screen time. Fans such as myself may be left wanting a little more.
