No Time To Die is in focus tonight as Spectre airs on ITV at 9.35pm on Saturday 22. The 2015 film is the 24th instalment in James Bond and still draws attention because it split critics even as it found a large audience.
Daniel Craig’s fourth Bond outing
Daniel Craig appears as James Bond for the fourth time in Spectre, which Sam Mendes directed. The film grossed $880 million worldwide, a figure that keeps it in the upper tier of Bond releases and helps explain why a late-night TV slot on ITV still counts as a notable booking.
The cast also includes Christoph Waltz, Léa Seydoux, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, Dave Bautista, Monica Bellucci and Ralph Fiennes. That line-up gives the film the scale ITV is leaning on tonight: a franchise title with enough recognition to turn a routine broadcast into a draw.
Rotten Tomatoes reactions
On Rotten Tomatoes, one viewer called Spectre one of their favourite movies of all time, while another wrote that it is an “Another Mendes masterpiece”. Those fan responses sit alongside the wider split around the film, which was met with mixed reviews from critics.
That divide is the story of Spectre in a line. Critics did not move in one direction, but the audience response kept the film commercially strong, and the $880 million worldwide total is the clearest proof of that gap.
Amazon Prime and Apple TV
For anyone missing the ITV broadcast, Spectre is also available to rent on Amazon Prime and Apple TV. Viewers who want the film on TV tonight have the easiest route through ITV at 9.35pm; anyone who prefers to watch later can switch to rental instead of waiting for another broadcast window.
Sam Mendes’ film still lands because it combines franchise scale, Daniel Craig’s fourth turn as James Bond and a box-office total that outlasted the critical split. Tonight’s ITV slot is a simple reminder that Spectre remains a film people still return to, whether they are revisiting James Bond or checking the reaction that divided critics and fans in the first place.
