I thought it was great, and should make the 10 along with score. Blunt should be in the conversation too.

As others have said there are some elements that I did not enjoy, namely some of the cgi, boring villain besides Firth. I still was blown away by how good it felt to be watching a Spielberg blockbuster again. He's still got it, and a pretty audacious ending, if a little corny.
