It's overly long, the pacing slows down too much in the second act and Christoph Waltz is massively underutilized but Spectre is still a really good Bond film that's thrilling, fun and epic whilst also being a more classical Bond film.
Daniel Craig is reliably perfect once again but with more charisma and a lot more quips compared to his previous films. Léa Seydoux, Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Dave Bautista and Ben Whishaw are all great.
Sam Mendes' direction is excellent, it's beautifully filmed and consistently stylish with extremely well filmed action sequences. The music by Thomas Newman is fantastic and the song by Sam Smith is also great.

Plot summary
A cryptic message from the past sends James Bond (Daniel Craig) on a rogue mission to Mexico City and eventually Rome, where he meets Lucia Sciarra (Monica Belluci),the beautiful and forbidden widow of an infamous criminal. Bond infiltrates a secret meeting and uncovers the existence of the sinister organisation known as S.P.E.C.T.R.E. Meanwhile, back in London, Max Denbigh (Andrew Scott),the new head of the Centre of National Security, questions Bond's actions and challenges the relevance of MI6, led by M (Ralph Fiennes). Bond covertly enlists Miss Eve Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) and Q (Ben Whishaw) to help him seek out Dr. Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux),the daughter of his old nemesis Mr. White (Jesper Christensen),who may hold the clue to untangling the web of S.P.E.C.T.R.E. As the daughter of the assassin, she understands Bond in a way most others cannot. As Bond ventures towards the heart of S.P.E.C.T.R.E., he learns a chilling connection between him and the enemy he seeks.

Slightly disappointing but still really good

The train fight sequence is tension filled and the movie succeeded in reviving the old skool henchman.
I first saw this with my family in a theatre in 2015.
Revisited it recently on a dvd which I own n finished the Bond marathon.
This is the the twenty-fourth in the Bond series and the fourth film to feature Daniel Craig as James Bond.
This time Bond faces Blofeld, the head of the criminal organisation Spectre, who plans to launch a surveillance network to mastermind criminal activities across the globe.
Bond also faces Marco Sciarra n Mr. Hinx.
This time Bond gets to cool off with Monica Bellucci n Léa Seydoux.
The girl in Mexico is hot but Bond only gets to smooch her.
The background music and the character Mr. Hinx are the highlights.
The train fight sequence is tension filled.
But the helicopter sequence in Mexico is too much cgi filled n the scene where Bond shoots the copter is a bit far fetched along with the scene wher Bond rescues Dr Swan.
The silent nature of Mr Hinx (Bautista) succeeded in reviving the quiet henchman archetype of characters such as Jaws n Oddjob.

Not the best, but a decent edition
This is certainly not the best Bond film to be made, but it's another solid outing for Daniel Craig's 007.
I thought the action, as in pretty much all Bond films, was the standout for me. The train sequence was brilliantly choreographed and the climatic scene added some spectacular set piece action that will be etched into the Bond archives.
Performance wise all good as expected once more, however Christoph Waltz as the films leading antagonist provided his usual demonic demeanour and his appreance weaves nicely into the narrative that had been building through the films prior to Spectre.
This certainly does no harm to a group of films that has built itself up, especially since Craig has been at the helm, as one of the best action franchises of all time.
