Not the best but still a fun Bond

Rating: 9/10 (9 November 2015)

I'm a big Bond fan and love all the bonds except for Quantum and Spectre fits somewhere between Quantum and Skyfall(Skyfall being my favorite Bond). Spectre has one of the best opening sequences in the Bond Franchise, the cinematography is excellent one of the best shots I have ever seen and Bond has this cool motion to his walk with his cane dressed up it is just a great shot and one that will forever be remembered and a true Bond moment. Craig in this movie brings back the Roger Moore style wit and he looks like he is in his Bond groove and really understanding and being confident, again Craig is great in this film but looks tired towards the end of the film. There are a few parts in this movie where I am scratching my head though, biggest problem I have with this film is development and lack of story. Who is Mr.Hinx? Wouldn't know unless you did some research because they never say his name and is he even a henchmen? Because he is never side by side with Blofeld. Is he in it a lot yes but not enough they kill him off cheaply and too quickly. Christoph Waltz is an excellent actor and I think his acting is good in this film but lack of character development hurt him, yes they tell his motives but it is not evil like the old Blofeld like in You Only Live Twice. He ends up torturing Bond and revealing that he is Blofeld and there is this awful storyline that he and Bond knew each other before hand and that he was suppose to call Bond a little brother...okay let's explore this and work it into the story but they never do it, which was a missed opportunity. Blofeld is working with some chump named Max Denbigh who thinks that the double o program is prehistoric and thinks that his drones could do more than a field agent, sounds a lot like the last Mission Impossible. He ends up dying to a quick death. Lea Seydoux is a great actress but she is no Bond girl. Aside from the opening sequence the movie never kicks into the next gear which is sad because it has all the tools to be one of the best Bonds ever. The rest of the movie is great though the ending is good Blofeld survives which hopefully makes a return in the next Bond and hopefully Craig does too.
