Reaction: We have our first blockbuster of the season - and it's a big one! The outstanding numbers from Dan Stevens' first Bond outing almost put the film in the Top 10 Highest Grossing Films of All-Time list (it comes in at 14th). We can't wait to see what writer John Malone cooks up for the character next - consider it GREEN-LIT.

"Much like he did with Superman, writer John Malone has taken everything we love from an iconic character and condensed it into an action-packed package (with help from star Stevens and director Nolan) built to please hardcore fans and regular audience members alike." - Perry Manson, CinemaBlend.com

"Dan Stevens is pitch-perfect as a rookie James Bond finding his way into the tropes we all know and love. While the villainous plot stays away from the world domination cliches the franchise is known for, the story still delivers some top-notch (albeit more contained) action in Bond's first outing. I only expect things to get bigger and better in the future." - Michael Carthage, Associated Press

"In a franchise whose tropes are entrenched in the moviegoing psyche, Nolan and Malone smartly deliver a film that plays enough of the greatest hits while also often toying with audience expectations and feeling fresh in its own right. While the film might be slightly lacking in the villain department, Dan Stevens more than makes up for it in an absolutely electric performance that is surely one of the most charismatic turns in LRF history." - Phil Silva, The Atlantic

Rated PG-13 for intense action and violence, some language and sexual content
