Spectre has a difficult act to follow (besides being spelled the odd British way).  Skyfall (the previous movie) was generally recognized as one of the best James Bond movies, certainly of recent vintage.  Spectre is a solid but not spectacular addition to the Bond series.  The plot is interesting in the sense that you see a little bit more of Bond’s past and see the emergence of Blofeld and Spectre unfold (for those who have seen the older Bond movies).  Daniel Craig is his usual suave and professional self as James Bond.  Andrew Scott (known to “Sherlock” fans as Moriarty) makes an appearance, and Ralph Fiennes reprises his role as the new M.  Oh, and my favorite, the newish Q, also makes an appearance and has a larger role than Q does most of the time.
Bond returns to driving an Aston-Martin, as he should (product placement notwithstanding).  And libertarians the world over should rejoice at the movie’s theme of over-reaching surveillance by world governments and the loss of privacy, freedom, and individual liberties.
That being said, it was a good movie—one well worth the time to watch.  The family gives it two thumbs up!
