Review of Spectre (2015) by Brent_Marchant — 07 Nov 2015
"Skyfall" it ain't, but it's still a generally entertaining installment in this long-running franchise. The action sequences, as usual, are terrific, and it's refreshing to see the overall story arc stretching from film to film.
The inclusion of contemporary issues makes for smart and relevant storytelling, and the decision to involve supporting characters more in the overall narrative adds interesting new wrinkles. However, uneven pacing issues, an occasionally muddled script and plot devices that stretch credibility even for a James Bond movie really work against the film's strengths, keeping the picture from being as good as it might have otherwise been.
It may be a bit of a letdown from the last installment in this series, but it's definitely not the end of 007.
