Much below expectations

Rating: 6/10 (23 November 2015)

I have been a fan of Daniel Craig since his first bond movie, Casino Royale and the top he reached with director, Sam Mendes in Skyfall. Skyfall was a near perfect film as everything supported Director's vision of an antihero. and when Sam Mendes came back for second movie, expectations were sky high for next movie.
Spectre title announced sounded great with perfect star cast. Fans were ready for another thrilling ride, but what i saw in theatre is not upto even Quantam of Solace. Film starts with perfect starting sequence, which captures u completely with its highly stylized technique. U get ready for a movie u were were highly expecting but as movie kickstarts, it begans to lose steam slowly and after halfway Director goes directionless, he doesn't know where to take this behemoth. Story by so many writers is without any direction, after a point u don't feel like u r watching a Bond film but it feels like ur watching a poor copy of bond film.
Sam Mendes who starts well but has lost track due to commercial reasons or he was this time not given full control on story, as characters here are not etched properly and biggest flaw is antagonist, with actor like Christoph Waltz we expect much more.
Action sequences and locations captured are best in Bond movie, feel like we haves seen this before, nothing seems new or original. Both actresses don't get enough depth and they feel distracted, they are not the bond girls we expect.
End is so much stretched that we are tired that when will this mess end. Please Sam Mendes and Daniel Craig we want more from u.
