Spectre Review | R1 Movies

It's finally here. Rhianna Dillon brings you the first Spectre review fresh from the screening in London's Leicester Square

I actually despise the new Sam Smith song. by far and away one of the worst bond theme tunes if not the worst tune

[saint]

I was really hoping it was gonna be better :(

[sclogse]

Here's a scene I've always wanted to see near the end of a Bond film. One bad guy escapes, runs onto a bus, and swiftly tries to disappear in a seat by the window...Bond gets on, from the rear, moves forward, someone gets up, he sits down...right next to the guy. Nothing is said. But a baby being held up in the seat in front of them is watching both of them, with this big open expression. Just watching them.

How could anyone have an opinion on this movie if nobody has seen it... she's a critic and saw the 1st screening. I absolutely love the series, every single movie. My favorite theme songs are indeed this one and skyfall. The movies have been over all fantastic, everyone demands to much or have high expectations, chill it until you actually watch the new movie.

[Bostonite]

I saw this movie yesterday and it is great. I would say, it is quite close to Skyfall up there in the top amongst Bond movies. But this is my opinion. In Spectre, Bond survives a plane crash and lives to kick some enemy butt. Crash was really bad and no one could have survived it. Maybe they should tried some other credible stunt instead of that plane crash. But then, Bond defies the laws of physics and nature.

"Loved the Sam Smith song, hated the car"? Really?
And after being negative, you still give it 4 stars. 4 stars is good, you know?

[BarryWardUK]

I watched it last night and thought it was great! I agree with the reporters opinions tbh. *spolers* The car chase kinda died of death halfway through as he was chatting on the phone while he lost his pursuer, and there was no other traffic at all (barring ONE small car that gets in the way of Bond) and not even any pedestrians anywhere, through the whole chase - only for traffic and pedestrians to appear when the chase is over! Plus at the beginning, celebrations are continuing with authorities just observing, seemingly oblivious to the building that's just collapsed around the corner. Other than that I thoroughly enjoyed it! Like the old Bond movies (as it should be, being about Spectre) but brought up to date

Don't know what to think of Sam Smith's new bond song :/ Can't wait though to see Spectre though :D

[stevencassidy]

I haven't looked at any reviews, but how many are actually professional
Reviewers ( not that they have any gift for being correct) and how many
are just some guy with a blog who sets themselves up as custodians
of all that's good in film.

[james]

4 stars is about right. It could have been better but it was really good.

[sasharoberts]

is the gunarrel  back at the beging somebody tell me

[wolfh]

Rihanna does not know what she's talking about when it comes to action films or thrillers. She's more partial towards rom-coms and chick flicks (which I also enjoy) but time and time again she underrates action films.

Take my word for it, this film is very, VERY good. Dare I say, I enjoyed it more than Skyfall.

[rhyzo]

Daniel stated in some interview that this would be his last bond and if he did another, it would only be for the money.

[gasfarty]

Skyfall was a remarkably dumb movie that resonated with audiences that don't really pay much attention to anything . . . like this young lady.

[aaroncoot]

"It's much better than Quantum of Solace!!!!", she says, not realising that Quantum of Solace is objectively one of the better films of the series.

[rs]

Is this the best BBC radio has for a movie critic?

[HermanFalckHow]

Its really funny... every Daniel Craig movie ends feeling like this could be his last one.

[ragbolt]

I liked Spectre better than Skyfall personally

[TheJamie]

She is just a repeater/reporter she is no bond expert

[jrevans_]

Firstly, writing on the wall as a bond theme, is rubbish. secondly hasn't Daniel Craig already effectively said this was his last bond film?
