Just Another Bond Movie.

Rating: 7/10 (27 December 2015)

I don't know why they are still making Bond movies. It seems script writers have ran out of ideas. The plot was one dimensional-linear; one thing pointing at another in succession. It felt as if Spectre was excruciatingly squeezed out of last few Bond films just like you try to get that extra oil, when there is none left in the oil well. Casino Royale was one of my favorite movies, and Daniel Craig rocked it. Similarly, he did a good job in this one too. I think he is the best Bond till date.
The movie starts off with a high action packed chase. This has been a recent trend in Bond movies. These starting sequences are linked to a sinister organization planning to take over the world. Amidst all these, Bond finds a clue which links him to another location and another high action packed sequence. In this case he finds a ring with an octopus carving, similar to the ring in Lord of Rings, not with the powers, though. Given Bond's rebellion nature, he is placed under surveillance after causing havoc at the start. Meanwhile the secret services are going through an organizational shift. In between Bond takes help from his friends at the services, and has fun with hot chicks. Throw in some gadgets-luckily depression in over.Then he meets an assassin, who has a beautiful daughter, from past who worked for this sinister organization. He points him to his daughter, they fall in love, who furthers points him to another clue, and they find coordinates of the bad guy. As usual, the bad guy tortures the protagonist, but Bond has a trick under his sleeve. He escapes with his girl, but the bad guys don't die that easily. The bad guy is Christopher Waltz. Also, there is history between Waltz and Craig. The bad guy takes a last hit at Bond, he fails, and then there is a lovely kissing scene at the end.
As I stated earlier, the plot is linear. Don't expect turns and twists. The action scenes are damn good. These make the movie worthwhile watching. The starting sequence, the chase in Aston Martin with Batista, and the glider scene at snow capped mountains in Austria are all equally good. The movie has a sharp editing, direction, and cinematography. The starting song along with the title and opening credit is exquisite.
I recommend- a one time watch.
