A Great Premise, but Average Execution

Rating: 6/10 (6 November 2015)

The 4th installment of Daniel Craig's reign as 007 is a bit of a disappointment considering the hype that was behind this movie. Coming after the great success of Skyfall and casting Cristoph Waltz as the Bond villain, I was very excited for what Spectre could offer. Don't get me wrong, I still highly encourage seeing this movie. Bond's pursuit of who is behind the evil organization of Spectre and it's secret motives and past is exhilarating, and the action is nothing short of outstanding.
Daniel Craig (James Bond) continues his great run as the iconic agent for MI6, and Christoph Waltz (Oberhauser) doesn't have a Col. Hans Landa type performance, but still delivers as a mysterious, power-hungry mad man that tests 007 both physically and mentally. Lea Seydoux (Madeleine Swann) is the main Bond girl and she does a phenomenal job. Seydoux was probably the most impressive in this movie, showing off her acting talent and sexy attitude.
Overall this is a solid Bond film. However, there were not enough moments that really stood out to make it great. I thought the premise was very interesting, but the execution could have been much better. It just felt as if nothing significant was happening to the plot until the last third of the movie. Still, I was very entertained throughout and stand by my recommendation to see Spectre. When it comes to the best of Craig's time as the British agent, however, Casino Royale and Skyfall are still the two to beat.
