Spectre review: James Bond is back, stylish, camp and sexily pro-Snowden
The Guardian ^

If nothing else, the spelling of the title should tip you off that this is a thoroughly English movie franchise. Bond is back and Daniel Craig is back in a terrifically exciting, spectacular, almost operatically delirious 007 adventure – endorsing intelligence work as old-fashioned derring-do and incidentally taking a stoutly pro-Snowden line against the creepy voyeur surveillance that undermines the rights of a free individual. It’s pure action mayhem with a real sense of style.
Ralph Fiennes’s M finds himself battling a cocky new colleague Max Denbigh (Andrew Scott) who wishes to abolish the 00-programme in favour of a vast new multi-national computer-snooper programme. The code name of this awful new stuffed shirt is C – and Bond does not scruple to make crude innuendo on that score.

Nobody stands for anti-snooping like James Bond!

Spectre: SPecial Exective Council for Terror, Revenge, Extortion. Sounds like a Democrat Party committee set up to help Hillary get elected.

spectacular, almost operatically delirious Sounds like another 90 minutes of annoying CGI action sequences cut too fast to actually follow. Yawn.
