Much better transfer than the previously-released disc, this is the one to get. The Director's Cut ties some loose ends together. An essential release.

Yes, Spectre's predecessor, Skyfall, was one of the all-time great Bond films. Spectre is not. The set up is there, and while most of this film is pretty great, the last 20 minutes or so are a bungled mess. A really lame, uninspired ending to what could've been even better than Skyfall. Absolutely worth watching, but with a stronger script it could've been that much better.
20 years old already. Wow. What a magical film. If you haven't seen it, don't be put off by the fact that it's another movie about talking animals. This is the cream of the crop.
There's some really inventive, charming stuff in here but once the main plot kicks in you're like "This is what they're going with?" Not anywhere near Aardman's best despite their lofty ambitions to exclude dialogue altogether.
