Review of Spectre (2015) by Peabarter — 07 Nov 2015
I read the reviews and went in with moderate expectations based on the criticisms. I was glad I saw it. It was a bond film and I like Bond films! It is my favorite movie series out there. This film introduces SPECTRE obviously which was long over due since the Craig Bond films were concentrated on the beginning of the Spy's career. I found the film entertaining and would rank it in the middle of the Bond pack. However, there are problems with the film.
1st: It doesn't really seam to have a defined plot through much of the movie. Bond is searching for M's Killer and stumbles onto SPECTRE. Consequently, there is no sinister plot that needs to be thwarted that BOND and MI6 are working on.
2nd: All of the best Bond films have a strong villain. Christoph Waltz does a fine job as Blofeld, but you don't see him until 2/3 of the way through the film.
3rd: The Bond chick doesn't show up until half way through the movie. At one point during the movie, I asked myself where are the Bond chicks? :).
The presentation at a true IMAX was spectacular. It is the only way to see an action movie if it is available in your area. Don't be fooled by the regular movie theaters that lease the IMAX name. It is not even close to a true IMAX theater experience.
