Spectre

Great classic Bond film, that undoes what the Daniel Craig era did with Bond.

I like the fact that it took a few movies for Daniel Craig to become the full fledged Bond we saw in the movie Skyfall, which was perfect, but what hero is complete without its villain. In comes, Spectre, Bond’s most sinister foe to make 007 whole again.

But in this case, becoming whole means going back to the old school Bond. It’s like they forgot what they were doing in the last three movies. All this time they took to update Bond for a new generation, only to slip back in time.

Don’t get me wrong, the movie was great! It was a smart action adventure with a lot of humor in it. I flipped when I saw that Christoph Waltz was going to be the new Bond villain, and, for the most part, he was everything I imagined. Dave Bautista, made one of the most interesting henchmen in the Bond rogue’s gallery. I never seen the dude wrestle, but I’ve seen enough movies were his fighting style give me an idea of what he must be like in the ring. Just an aggressive monster to quick and powerful to be stopped. What I enjoyed most of all was how the long time supporting characters did some field work in the film. M and Q got into the action the same way Moneypenny did in Skyfall, and that turn out to be pure fun.

When I first herd the Bond theme song for this film done by Sam Sheppard I did not think much of it, but the more I hear it the more I like it, even better than Adele’s Skyfall theme (but not more than Chris Cornell’s theme song for Casino Royale )

Overall, if you’re a fan of Bond, all together you’ll love this film. He gets into a fast Aston Martian and drives it fast, a lot of cool spectacular fights and amazing stunts, A few…Interesting gadgets, and of course, he chases some really hot tail (like hot Bond MILF, Monica Bellucci). However, I don’t know anyone who is an overall Bond fan. Each one of us has an era that they prefer over the others (“cough” Brosnan) and if Daniel Craig is your era, you will have a problem with how he fully grew into the Bond archetype.
