A spectre-acle without any sparks

Rating: 7/10 (29 February 2016)

First, the opening sequence is the most uninteresting opening sequence of all the Daniel Craig Bond movies with James merely walking, cat-walking, and fighting with a bad guy in a helicopter like two brothers fighting in their parents' car on a road trip with not much physical skills on Daniel's part in comparison with his hand-to-hand combat in Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, and Skyfall.
Second, the infamous Spectre organization does not have much to show for accept some big guys lingering around the evil mastermind Blofeld and the intervention of the latest recruit Hinx (Bautista) auditioning by killing a guy in a few moves, chasing Bond in his car, producing one of the most boring chases ever comprising of empty streets, funny bumps, fired-up gadgets, and Bond landing in an ejected parachute gracefully on the streets of Rome again looking like a model, making this whole chase look like a car commercial.
Third, I can't seem to fathom what exactly is Blofeld's motive in the movie, is he an evil guy out to destroy the word,or does he want to destroy Bond? What was the relevancy of having Bond be like a stepbrother to Blofeld? So is Blofeld mad at the world and becomes evil because he is jealous because his dad took care of Bond? How silly is that? And yet I am still confused, Blofeld has built this evil empire and recruited all the previous bad guys such as Le Chifre, Mr. Green, and Silva to hurt Bond? Third, I found the action set-pieces rather dull accept for the train fight which to me is the best thing in the movie and one of the greatest Craig-Bond fights ever and makes me forgive the comedic kissing scene that came after brilliantly expressed in "What do we do now?" HAHHAHAHAH seriously?! Fourth, a Bond can't be a Bond movie without the cliché evil tour given by Blofeld where he also in a cliché way explains his master evil plan to have this scene end with Bond being punctured in the brain twice and still manage to blow Blofeld 's evil abode to smithereens with his watch bomb oooooooooo!!!!!! And some gun shots while whisking away his beloved, holding her hand gimme a break! Fifth and last, we arrive at the very weak ending of Bond running around the ex MI6 headquarter building absurdly marked by pictures of M, Vesper, Mr. Green, Silva, and Le Chiffre, so he can save his girlfriend in the nick of time and escape the explosion like a scene from SAN ANDREAS and then shoot the Blofeld's helicopter down with his small gun, OMG how silly!
