Review of Spectre (2015) by Skyminster — 06 Jan 2016

Spectre makes for a brilliant action blockbuster, and a great Bond film; with Daniel Craig being the star of a good cast. The action’s fantastic, and the sound and sets are great; though the story telling is inconsistent – certainly not as good as that in Skyfall and Casino Royale at least – and the script isn’t as good as in those two. Furthermore, Christoph Waltz’ performance as Blofeld seemed too much of a failed attempt to recreate Javier Bardem’s portrayal of Silva, and some of the ideas in the film weren’t too inspired. However, nothing in the film I’d say was bad, far from that; and more concentration on the action made for a fantastically entertaining film and probably one of the best this year, albeit not quite as good as some of its predecessors.

84/100.
