Review of Spectre (2015) by Vincent F — 08 Oct 2017

Daniel Craigs fourth Bond movie is probably my third favourite of his but it's by no means a bad movie, It's amazing but we thought nothing would top Casino Royale then Skyfall came along and was on par with it so Spectre would have to be winning oscars to compete with them so being the third best Craig Bond film isn't bad as I happen to think all 4 Craig Bond films are the best of the lot, The film itself ties up loose ends from the previous three and we learn as you can guess that Spectre is the organisation behind it all, The plot isn't as complicated if you watch the first three just before, There was some great action scenes just not enough and they were spread too far apart, There are allot of little nods to previous Bond films and some cases of deja vu in others which was a nice touch, Daniel Craig was great again but he seems to have lost his mean streak even though he's still pretty ruthless, Dave Bautista was good but under used, Christoph Waltz played a good part but again was under used and wasn't given enough screen time to really get into his role, It was nice to see there's still no silly gadgets or stupid scenes that kill the movie (Just like the entire Roger Moore era) It's a great Bond film, Some great action scenes just over long and more down times than we wanted, It did have a good twist that will please old Bond fans, I think the movie itself was one great action sequence away from being brilliant and unfortunately the ending wasn't as great as I hoped, It's still one of the best films of 2015 and one of the best Bond films ever.
