Disappointment of the year

Rating: 1/10 (6 November 2015)

I went to go see this movie with my dad. Walking out of the theater, I couldn't recall anybody's name. I couldn't recall the plot. I couldn't recall the conflict. All I remembered was a lot of loud noises and gunfire.
I'm writing this review less than 10 minutes after watching the film, and after looking on the IMDb cast list, I'm left scratching my head at it. "Who is this character?", I wonder. "Was he even in the movie?".
The characters had absolutely no development at all. In fact, I'd wager they even had negative amounts of development. Most of the characters, including James Bond, get around 20 minutes of screen time total. I don't know half of their names. I don't know what the f*ck the movie was about. I still don't get what the f*ck happened. What was Christoph Waltz's plan? To take video of people? Why the hell does that make him a worldwide terrorist? Why did he even need all those other guys if the only guy he really needed was Moriarty from Sherlock? What was the point of Dave Bautista? Why did they try to kill Lea Seydoux, especially since she would've precisely NOTHING if they left her alone? Who wrote Bond's lines. They're not witty, clever, flirtatious, or anything we've come to expect from a Bond film. There is no coherent plot to speak of. The action sequences were shoddily filmed, unrealistic, and unconvincing. Half of the film was constituted of such obvious CGI that it absolutely boggled my mind they spent over $350 Million on this movie.
In short, Spectre is proof that just because you throw piles of money at something won't make it good.
The writing wasn't good. The acting was OK. The CGI was sub-par. The directing was slightly above average, but really shone because all the other aspects of the film were sh*t.
2/10
