A message from the past sends Bond (Daniel Craig) on a rogue mission that leads to a secret organization, Spectre, led by the evil Blofeld (Christoph Waltz) who hopes to end Bond's existence. Back at home there is a battle for control of MI6 as the new head of the Centre of National Security begins to question the need for Bond and his team. James must work behind the scenes, recruiting Q (Ben Whishaw), Moneypenny (Naomi Harris) and his boss M (Ralph Fiennes) to help him dismantle Spectre. Along the way, he meets Madeleine Swann (Lea Seydoux), the daughter of an assassin who teams up with him in his quest. Will ghosts of Bond's past finally be the end of him or will he be able to best Spectre and save MI6 in the process?

This was a decent Bond film. It starts off with a bang in Mexico City. The Day of the Dead parades and costumes were over-the-top great! The middle lags just a little. If you are a Bond fanatic, then you will probably be drawn in by the lore of past Bonds and the tie-in of many of the past characters. if not, then you might just be a little lost. I'm somewhere in the middle. I thought it was pretty good. I liked how they tied in the past films. But, I wasn't overwhelmed. It was good, not great. If you love Bond, then go see it for sure.
