James Bond Spectre fails to deliver

Rating: 3/10 (21 November 2015)

How convenient for James Bond in Spectre. Everything seemed to be placed right where he would want them to be. The weapons, the escape, the hidden girl that needed to be rescued, even the kidnappings all seemed to be a part of Mr. Bond's ultimate plan to defeat who turned out to be an enemy he never knew he had - a sorry ass shadow from the past with some kind of father-son issue. The only parts that thrilled me was that they put the quartermaster in danger. I felt a brief moment of danger there, but otherwise it was like watching one of them old Steven Seagal films. You know where we know from the beginning that no one gets away from him and the central character is never really in any danger. Spectre lacked the urgency that I was looking forward to and the vulnerability that the theme song promised was not achieved at all. The theme song is breathtaking though and the titling sequence is quite sexy. I'll give them that. Christoph Waltz fails as a super villain as much as Ralph Fiennes fails miserably as M. No chemistry at all. Time for a and a new director. Maybe a new Bond.
