Reinventing an old Bond plot as a new Bond bad movie.

Rating: 6/10 (7 December 2015)

Its funny how nobody seems to want to say that Spectre was a criminal organization that already appeared in an early Bond film-not just in this new Bond film. This is a good flick despite the fact they seem to be discovering Spectre for the first time. In a way I can understand why Daniel Craig didn't really want to do another Bond movie. Scripts become dogma if the earlier movies plots are selectively ignored. The fact that M was "onto" the existence of an organization she knew existed thirty years ago is a bit like "discovering" that drinking beer can get you drunk when you are thirty years old. Not so believable as a discovery. Since I have always liked Bond films I went to see it and it was full of action and most of the other things we have come to associate with a Bond film-but considering the plots total lack of credibility I thought it worked worked well. It could also be said that the earlier Daniel Craig Bond film Casino Royal was exactly the same thing because it was. Its gets hard to feel like Bond is relevant if they are just going to copy previous Bond films and call them new ones-even if they make it all appear "contemporary."
