First of all if you are reading this, either you are a die hard fan of James Bond movies or a cautious fan of all movies looking for a review that pushes you to theaters. I am the second kind, but the good news is the movie is stacking up good reviews all over the world.
Daniel Craig Element
As usual this movie is also about James Bond's(Daniel Craig) personal mission, where he does whatever he does best, "unofficially". He is not a sophisticated spy with cool gadgets and women seduction but just a cold-hearted assassin. He has found
himself a love of life(Madeleine Swann played by lea seydoux). The movie digs James Bond's past about who adopted him when his parents died, No.3 - the head of villains of all Daniels Craig's James Bond movies. All the movies starting from Casino Royale to Skyfall are related to spectre by the very thin thread Ernst Stavro Blofeld played by Christoph Waltz.

Review
The movie unfolds with agent 007 on a mission that was given to him by M after she died. This takes place in mexico with a powerpacked stunt sequence that any action loving fan will get fascinated. He does it unofficially and gets himself suspended and incidentally gives the chance for head of MI6 to close the 00 section. Yes, you heard me. Suddenly the powerful people in movies have started raising against all fictional intelligence agencies including Impossible Missions Force(IMF). Nonetheless
our heroes are not going to let that happen.
He gets to know about the organisation SPECTRE(Special Executive of Counter-Intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion). He learns about one of their meeting and when he attends it, starts the cat and mouse chase between Bond and the villain. Bond then meets Mr. White to know more about SPECTRE but ends up promising him to take care his daughter. He needs Mr. White's daughter to find a way to get to Ernst.
She takes him to their father's favorite place, L'Americain. They find the co-ordinates of a place in the middle of nowhere where Ernst has the mass surveillance system that is to take over the world of intelligence agencies of leading nations. After this comes a few secrets of Bond's past, who Ernst is, and the movie ends with Bond stopping Ernst's plans and saves 00 section from closing.
The movie is backed by the racy editing, a supportive BGM and the cast that takes the movie to whole other level. The 6 action sequences and the Guinness record holding explosion sequence have all been curated meticulously. Overall its one hell of a mission.
