Spectre Reminds of a More Classic 007 Film and Celebrate James Bond's Figure

Rating: 7/10 (14 November 2015)

007 Spectre marks the second time of Sam Mendes as director after the great success of Skyfall and possibly the last time of Daniel Craig portraying this iconic character. Unlike the previous ones actuated by Craig which had plots that did not resemble the classic stories, Spectre is a homage to them for having a similarity to the classic films of 007. The movie has a visual very appealing, for being a James Bond film, elegance and glamor are constantly noticed in the exquisite clothes, the astonishing cars and Q's gadgets. But also the variety of places used in the filming bring such unique charm of a 007 film . I can not talk about charm without mentioning the Bond Girls, Spectre has Madeleine Swann played by Lea Seydoux, she brings a character which is of great importance and weight in development of the story. From the hype brought by the spectacular opening scene where a long take were used to film the parade while following James Bond combined with the action and tension gave an enthusiasm to what would come from the following action scenes. Unfortunately, to me, the subsequent fight scenes were good, but not as good as the first.
Despite Christoph Waltz being a well-known actor and having already a number of achievements in his career, the number of scenes that he's in is very few. Given the interesting performance and peculiar character, the film would benefit if Christoph Waltz's character had a greater number of appearances throughout the film. As some intriguing dialogues happen between him and James Bond. Dave Bautista plays Mr. Hinx, the classic stereotype villain, the big guy, violent and with few words. The combats against 007 were quite good as the stunts, the climax and the shots managed to raise the apprehension from the audience. The fourth time of Daniel Craig as Agent 007 comes to reassure his capability to be James Bond, he's once again great in the role. He managed to bring the character a more emotional side, more realistic, but not forgetting the classic personality of James Bond, a guy pretty confident, elegant, a womanizer and always ready for combat.
