Verdenspressen fikk se rekordlange SPECTRE onsdag 21. oktober 2015.

Med sine 148 minutter er SPECTRE den lengste Bond-filmen gjennom tidene – m.a.o. to timer og 28 minutter.

Andre lange Bondfilmer er Casino Royale (2006) med 141 minutter og On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969) med sine 140 minutter.

British Board of Film Classification ga den en tolv års aldersgrense, etter at to voldscener ble noe «dempet».

En lang rekke medier har nå lagt ut sine anmeldelser. Det blir for omfattende å referere fra alle og vi vil nødig røpe altfor mye for våre lesere. Utdragene nedenfor røper ikke noe av handlingen, men klikk deg videre til selve anmeldelsene for egen risiko.

Når det er sagt virker det som de fleste anmeldelsene forsøker å ikke være altfor avslørende. De britiske anmelderne er mer begeistrede og flere gir toppscore, mens de amerikanske anmelderne er mer kritiske.

Her er noen utdrag:

The Hollywood Reporter The first act is great, full of dark portent and bravura film-making flourishes. However, the final hour disappoints, with too many off-the-peg plot twists and too many characters conforming to type. While its commercial prospects seem bulletproof, Spectre ultimately feels like a lesser film than Skyfall, falling back on cliche and convention. Craig’s lack of humor or warmth remains problematic. Spectre contains enough dazzle and derring-do to keep the Bond brand afloat, but not enough to make it a game-changing reboot in the manner of Skyfall. Two steps forward, one step back.

Empire: (4 av 5) Even if this is less satisfying overall than Skyfall, there are sequences that rank with Bond’s best. If this is to be Craig’s last bow as 007 (the credits at least promise James Bond will return), he’ll be remembered as the man who brought Ian Fleming’s grit back to one of the great British film franchises.

Variety What’s missing is the unexpected emotional urgency of “Skyfall,” as the film sustains its predecessor’s nostalgia kick with a less sentimental bent. A wealth of iconography — both incidental and integral — from the series’ founding chapters is revived here, making “Spectre” a particular treat for 007 nerds, and a businesslike blast for everyone else. Spectre-cular B.O. awaits, though it remains to be seen whether the “Skyfall” is the limit. Suffice to say that the unveiling of SPECTRE cues a modern-day rewrite of classic Bond mythos, teasing the audience with wry winks to series-affiliated imagery and gimmickry dating back to the Sean Connery era, from white cats to ejector seats.

The Times (5 av 5) This fourth outing for Daniel Craig as James Bond is achingly cool, as sleek and powerful as the silver Aston Martin DB10 that races through the movie.

The Guardian (5 av 5) It’s pure action mayhem with a real sense of style. It’s deeply silly but uproariously entertaining. At the end, I almost felt guilty for enjoying it all quite so much – almost.
