The critics have rated it above average, but not as highly as Casino Royale or Skyfall. I would rate it much higher than average--maybe 80% positive. Although I'm not a movie critic, I thought it was a good movie because it explained many things about the four-movie series, and also it tied up most of the loose ends in the past plots. Daniel Craig and Léa Seydoux have an interesting chemistry on screen. She seems like the type of person that Bond would settle down with--if she survives. The plot kept you engaged throughout by continuing to connect to the previous movies, and it had a similar amount of action as the other movies. Bond restricted his killing better in this movie, like he was reformed after Skyfall.
Because I've been watching Marvel's "Agents of SHIELD" and the movies, I've noticed several similarities between the "evil" organizations of Spectre and Hydra. They are both international organizations dedicated in one form or another to world domination. Spectre wants to control things in the world behind the scenes, and Hydra wants to be known in the world to create an entirely new world order. In the movie, Spectre has one of their agents try to create a unified intelligence organization that would combine the intelligence organizations of nine of the biggest countries. This sounds like it could be a good idea, but it would be a disaster for the world. In the process of the merger, the 00 branch of MI-6 is shut down. M, Q, and Moneypenny have to find the suspended Bond and help him stop the merger and Spectre.
I recommend this movie to anyone who has seen the first three or like good spy movies with lots of action. If you can, go see it in the theater since the effect of seeing in the big screen is better than on television.
