The Spectre Of A Real Movie

Rating: 1/10 (1 November 2015)

When I go to see a new Bond movie I suspend any reality checks and prepare to watch a franchise that has produced some glorious popcorn films in the past. That past has never seemed further away after watching Spectre, the worst movie in the franchise. This was a by the numbers cash in. At no point was this film made with the viewer in mind, no suspense, no story, no great memorable scenes. Many scenes referenced a previous Bond movie but in those someone gave a toss about the people paying to be in the cinema. This move represents not only the worst parts of the cinema industry, but the media too. Who needs pulse racing scenes, edge of the seat action when you can beat the previous films opening weekend by having actors and cars flooding talk shows and news stations? Why make a good movie when you can just pressure film reviewers into saying what you want? Why bother making a entertaining film when you can make a torturous boring one and still make lots of money? I hope anyone involved in this feels ashamed. I know I would be.
