For me, Connery and Brosnan were the vibe that exemplifies what Bond should be, so the Craig generation always felt a bit off. It has a much darker and more brooding tone, and while Craig does have some swagger it's usually done with a sulk.

This edit attempts to reassemble the Craig era into a smaller single-film-length package that keeps the best elements in a smooth narrative flow. As a result some of the slower and darker elements fall by the wayside and Bond feels more like the older eras.

The focus is the Spectre plot arc, and the bond girls were pared down to Vesper Lynd, Severine, and Madeleine so it felt like a cohesive film and not a mess of non-essential characters. This also ends up making the Vesper and Mr White plot arcs much more coherent since they aren't spread across a few films.

MI6 agent, James Bond, earns his 00 agent license to kill and becomes the infamous 007.

Spectre was an attempt by Eon Productions and director Sam Mendes to embrace the grandiose nature of the Bond films of yesteryear, both in terms of the locales used, the scope of the picture and in bringing back the arch villain Blofeld and the Spectre organisation. Whilst it was wildly successful at the box-office, the reception on the film was very mixed. Some reveled in the large scale nature of the film, whilst others cited a poor script, lacklustre direction and a poorly executed idea of linking all the Daniel Craig Bond films together - not to mention the little controversial storyline regarding Blofeld being related to Bond as an adoptive brother.

After a secret mission in Mexico City, James Bond has one more loose end to tie up.

After receiving a message from a dead colleague, 007 undertakes a mission that leads to a discovery that will change everything: the many tentacled organization known as Spectre.
