A throwback to classic Bond, Spectre is a convoluted and noisy action-adventure film. After killing a Mexican crime lord James Bond discovers a secret syndicate known as Spectre that's run by a mysterious man from Bond's past. Christoph Waltz steps into the role of Ernst Blofeld, but gives an underwhelming performance that pales to the previous incarnations. And Lea Seydoux is functionary at best as a stereotypical Bond Girl. The fight scenes and chases are exciting as usual, however none of them really standout or distinguish themselves in the pantheon of Bond action sequences. While the Craig era began strong by bringing a dark and gritty edge to the series, Spectre throws all that out and returns to the tropes and clichés of the past.
