Review of Spectre (2015) by Dee M — 20 Mar 2016

So, I finally watched this movie. Avoided it in theaters and I really wanted to see it. Especially after Skyfall, but this one...It was just alright. It was Quantum of Solace but it wasn't Casino Royale. It was in the middle. You saw bond giving orders to himself in the wake of his former boss, death. Spectre was intense and had a steady story but it lacked so much. It was either the character interactions or maybe it was, Bond. He seemed like an army of one playing catch up. Which isn't unusual for Bond but this time it felt forced. Also kinda strange considering the movie was 2 1/2 hours long.

I liked the movie but it didn't move me like Skyfall did. The story was great, so was the antagonist. The acting was so mind blowing and captivating. You hung off every actors words. It felt like the same Bond I've been watching since Casino Royale, I just wanted more. That could very well be my problem but, Skyfall is still number one for me.
