Excellent review Simon - I saw it only last night and, unbelievably, I managed to get to it before having any spoilers whatsoever. Craig has been spellbinding as Bond from the opening shot in Casino Royale, and is brilliant in this film. Genuinely, through the set-up and second act I was captivated by it, loving to see the way the Craig-era Bond had naturally evolved as a character, while retaining those elements that keep him true to the source.

And then, it all changed.
