Spectre Movie Review

James Bond 007

This is one of the biggest franchise in entertainment, not to mention that Mr. Bond himself is a well renowned action hero... Daniel Craig has played a unique kind of Bond that many something tells me will become quite the stereotype of Bond character.

Spectre is the direct sequel of the hit Bond film, Skyfall and admiringly it was a very good movie with competent writing and characters to go along and unfortunately Spectre tried to fallow the same footsteps with "varying" degrees of success. After the events of Skyfall, Craig's Bond is trying to track down a men requested by the old M has her dying wish and it all leads to a big reveal about the timeline of this generation's 007... here is my main problem with the movie, it's so desperately trying to be like Skyfall that it has no identity of it's own and it's story contexts are completely lost in translation: I don't want to spoil the story too much but let me just say that the reveal of the identity of this films Bond is so bland that chances are you will feel has empty has I did.

The action sequences where another step down not to Skyfall but the 007 franchise in general... the actions scenes are so underwhelming that I was baffled, 007 is know for facing odds no normal human being could possibly survive and this movie still does that but there just wasn't enough over the top action scenes like I would have wanted there to be... but you want to know what is the real icing on this cake? Sam Mendes was the same director on Skyfall and Spetre so what happened?

Spectre is not a terrible movie by any means, it has it's moments... but it is an underwhelming Bond film, if you are a hardcore 007 fan you probably already watched it but if you are not i would suggest you watch this one on DVD, it's worth watching at least once... but that's about it.
