Copying the brother storyline from Austin Powers was very lazy.

Rating: 1/10 (21 October 2018)

Blofeld in the books is NOT James Bonds foster step brother. But you could say that Daniel Craig looks nothing like James Bond either. A lot of fans didn't care about the lazy, cheap copy of a script. Yeah the cinematography is good but is ruined by the awful ORANGE tint. The reused tracks from Skyfall was lazy. Again, Blofeld was very weak. The whole Spectre storyline is weak and not mentioned enough. The title for the movie as well. Why couldn't we have another title and make Spectre be the surprise? The movie is called SPECTRE, but the movie is more to do with Bond falling in love, yet again, and very quickly. It was only 2 movies ago that he just got over Vesper. This is also not Bonds character. He would never leave MI6 over a girl that he just met. It took him along time to fall in love with Tracy in On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
Sam Mendes did a fantastic job with Skyfall, in my opinion. But fails with this movie. He did say in previous interviews before making this movie that he did not want to come back to make another Bond movie so that does show in this movie. Spectre is very lazy written (by 5 writers and Daniel Craig). Spectre is also directed with no care. Spectre doesn't seem to be a James Bond movie, but more like a fan movie who prefers Mission Impossible and Austin Powers.
I saw this the first day in IMAX and I was just appalled at the end. I remember a kid sighing all the way through the movie. And the strange thing I come across, is that a lot of ''Bond fans'' actually enjoy this movie. I actually prefer Quantum over this. At least they did the secret organisation plot a lot better than Spectre. I literally thought Quantum would be the new Spectre for Craig's era. Guess not. Now we have to pray that the next movie is an entirely different story, just like Skyfall. I am not a fan of the story continuity, bringing up the past, awfully. I didn't mind Quantum of solace doing that, as it was a DIRECT SEQUEL. They didn't have writers strike with Spectre but the script seems like most of them rushed the script while half asleep and drunk while watching bloody Mike Myers.
