It all starts so well. Spectre‘s opening set piece, set in Mexico City during the Day of the Dead had been much hyped before its release and there is a reason for that. The long tracking shot that kicks things off, followed by a brief fire-fight and a chase through the crowded streets. Finally, Bond and his enemy battle it out in a tumbling helicopter high above the screaming crowds below. It’s gorgeously realised and seems to set Spectre up for one hell of a showing. Sadly, that doesn’t prove to be the case.
