  So all in all, that looks pretty great so far.

  Well I don't know about you all but I'm breathing a sigh of relief. After almost a year of bizarre stories and doomsday rumors, it looks like SPECTRE is delivering the goods.

  Thrilled by SPECTRE. Perfect hybrid of vintage Bond panache and Craig era grit. Almost the true 50th anniversary film three years late...

  Can't grumble with that. Whilst appreciation of both styles isn't mutually exclusive it'll be nice to see a 'best of both worlds' film.

  Is #SPECTRE #danielcraig's best @007 film, it rivals #CasinoRoyale and IMHO is better than #Skyfall, but is it better than Goldfinger???
  
  Susanna Reid ‏@susannareid100
  Just seen #Spectre. It's spectrecular. Henchman Hinx aka WWE's Batista on @gmb tomorrow.
  
  Xan Brooks @XanBrooks
  Spectre: the elegant ghost of vintage Bonds gone before. Cruel, dark & handsome, GSOH. Liked this a lot, surpassed expectations.
  
  Larushka Ivan-Zadeh ‏@Larushka_iz
  So, I just saw #SPECTRE - it's like all the best Bonds rolled into one.
  
  DIY Film @DIY_Films
  #Spectre is a very solid **** Nicely done Messers Craig and Mendes. Also very much appreciated plenty of Q, M, Tanner & Moneypenny.
  
  Jenni Falconer @JenniFalconer
  Daniel Craig, you're still my favourite Bond. #Spectre is brilliant. Amazing opening sequence-one of the best to date. Want to watch again.
  
  Very positive initial reviews...

  If anyone has read this, does it contain spoilers? I opened it, read the first two lines then panicked and closed it quickly.

  Basic gist is "best bond ever" in the mirror. It's not going to be in depth its a tabloid. Pinch of salt needed

  It's not a very well written review. Actually, quite bad. No realy big spoilers in it regarding the plot.

  just came out of the screening. All I will say, it's rather disappointed. After the depth of Skyfall it's a shame they made such a lightweight and empty film.

  Not bad considering they've only just come out of the screening. It was quickly written and published

  EMPIRE

  Overlong and stately, with some cracking set pieces and

  the best Ralph Fiennes c*bomb gag since In Bruges

  I certainly hope it's better than Goldfinger, the PTS is the only thing I'd want it to resemble, the most overrated film of the series.

  Shame. Most of the reviews seem to be positive; maybe you'll like it more with more viewings?

  That's great.
  So, all in all 90% positive and better with few exceptions, as was to be expected.

  A lot of people seem to be saying the film is fun, hilarious and lighter than some of Craig's other films. Imagine that'll please a lot and also not be to other people's liking.
