Spectre review
"The dead are alive," reads Spectre's opening text card. What that means is immediately answered as audiences are whisked away to Mexico to take in the sights and sounds of The Day of the Dead festival. But it also hints at what is to come as Spectre draws upon events and characters of recent films.
The opening scenes are a delight, bigger and more ambitious in scale than most Bond films with 007 himself casually strolling through the thronging streets and dancing across rooftops. It all culminates in an exciting, if not irresponsible, encounter that results in Bond getting in a spot of hot water with the powers that be.
