My First IMDb (Quick) Review This is Why...

Rating: 3/10 (26 October 2015)

I don't think i've ever disagreed more with an opening consensus of a movie! (Currently 8.2 on IMDb and 83% on R.Tomatoes) I would have it at around 3 out of 10. Here's why. Mission Impossible Rogue Nation, released July, is probably in my top five movies of the year thus far. It knows exactly what it wants to be and nails it. Why do i mention this? The only argument i can foresee against my disliking Spectre is someone saying "It's a silly action movie, it doesn't take itself seriously". No Rouge Nation is that, Bond is something else and has been since Casino Royale (which i thought was fantastic).
C.Royale was gritty yet still quite light, Quantum of Solace was a train wreck and Skyfall was brilliantly gritty and dark. Spectre tries to achieve the same theme yet misses it by a long shot. The film opens with a sequence that seems to of been taken from an unused Steven Segal or Jean Claude Van Damme movie script which doesn't belong in "reality" at all. One convenience after another later continues the extremely choppy, over convoluted story line where Bond visits everywhere but Disney Land searching for a man that wants to kill him one minute and play with him the next.
This goes on top of the fact that i realised half way through that i was just simply bored. The action seemed to only consist of chases and when it did have a rare glimmer of hope that was very quickly ended in way too easy circumstances.
In the end Bond still wants to live in the world that the Bourne Trilogy started, gritty espionage, which did hit the mark on two occasions as previously mentioned but now failed twice as it tries to inject the adrenaline shot that is Mission Impossible action. Wasn't for me i guess smile emoticon.
p.s. Random note. I swear i saw a frame out of place!! I'm not sure if i will ever get to the bottom of it but i'm sure of it, which by Hollywood standards is simply unacceptable. This would make sense as apparently was rushed in being finished.
