Review of Spectre (2015) by Ray O — 11 Mar 2016
The theme song was one of the worst I'd ever heard in Bond History. The movie itself was probably a half hour too long and at times dragged. Christoph Waltz was underutilized, but Dave Bautista's silent henchman was AWESOME.
The opening sequence set during Day of the Dead was really the highlight of the movie, it was truly astounding and set up the rest of the movie for disappointment after so much amazing cinematography, crazy stunts and more.
The main villain's plot confused me for a while, but once I realized what it was it was rather underwhelming, which describes the whole film really. The Bond Girl was pretty hot and not outright boring like the ones in Quantum of Solace at least.
I liked that Ben Whishaw got some cool scenes as Q. Honest to god, I'm trying to remember the finale right now just 4 months later and I can't remember it at all. This wasn't a very memorable entry to the series legacy and comes nowhere close to the masterpieces that were Casino Royale and Skyfall.
Daniel Craig is still a great Bond though, let's be real here. :v.
