Review of Spectre (2015) by Herman73Trio — 18 Nov 2015

This movie opens with Bond's solo mission hunting down Siaccra (the we found out that Siaccra is the last message of previous M) in the middle of "The Day of the Dead" parade of Mexico City. Bond's succesfully fullfiled this unofficial mission after a breathtaking chase and fight inside helicopter in the air killed all his enemies.

Bond also manage to steal Sciarra ring with an octopuss logo.Bond got suspended for his action even though M realise that this unofficial mission prevent the mass bombing scenario.But,he is not stopping at all, this is only the beginning of his personal mission.

Siaccra's death leads Bond to a gorgeous Italian widow Lucia Siaccra (Monica Belluci),and this gorgeous lonely that need a protector tips Bond about her late husband meeting point. And Bond didn't need waste time and direclty entered the meeting point easily and finally not just see the face of Spectre's leader but suprisingly this person has connection with Bond's childhood.

Frankly I hope Spectre is going to be the greatest Bond ever made - better than Skyfall.But I must admit there are few things that I felt that should be explore. When the leader of Spectre revealed himself to Bond, that really shocked and I think scared the hell out Bond, is one of the best momentum.

When this Spectre mysterious leader Ernst Stavro Bloveld enter the room, sudden this large meeting aula become so chill, filled with fear, we only hear his voice that gives the feel of terror.But this momentum didn't maintained well.

I think the story should explore more "space" for psychological battle between Bond and Ernst (a.k.a Franz Oberhauser that believed is dead decades ago in an accident that also killed Franz father).

In Skyfall audiens were showned the psychological condition between love and hatred of Raoul Silva (ex 00 agent went rough who seek revenge for being abandoned and left for dead after Raoul's personel mission almost jeoperdize the handover Hongkong to China back in 1997).

Maybe that Sam Mendez already to tired to explore this psychological things.Or just wanna focus on Bond's mission that really wanna put his misery to an end,cause Ernst recognition that for this past few years Bond's misery for the lost all that he love so much and devoted to is taken away by Ernst all along behind his collaborator in crime.

This is the most apparent weakness of this Spectre. Craig performance is great, he can easily combined the drama side of this Bond character. Monica Belluci short performance but still can steal a few moments.

I also give credit to Ben Whisaw as Q. and off course Waltz performance is good but not as strong as Javier's performance as villain in Skyfall. But however the early of Waltz's character appear is the best highlight in Spectre.
