Spect(re)acular; yet obvious...

Rating: 7/10 (28 November 2015)

First there was Casino Royale (nice!), then Quantum; Skyfall - Craig has nevertheless come a long way - being the iconic '007'. Yes, Spectre do creates 'magic'; or exuberance or whatever you call with your exemplary vocabulary. But, on the far note - its mostly succeeds with the (mostly, not fully I would say) spy-movie 'formula', which means, being a repetition. Fair Enough.
The director, Sam Mendes, has handled the concept thoroughly; a 'spectacle' nowadays mostly seen in many of the indie flicks; because usually the fast-paced blockbusters, never cares for viewers to even understand a scene properly. Well, debate's on.
So, to be honest, Spectre is fast-paced. Yes. So great, less story *delights random adrenaline-testosterone-action enthusiastic*. Right? Nope. Its has a thin line. As in, this film walks up on a thin line; a risky thin rope, weighing story, action and all the elements of a well-made potboiler within it, just like the circus artists. To delight the audience. Its risky, still it completes its task. What I believe that it do had mild loopholes, or call it, maybe less detail for a scene. But they are small in number. And those are covered with the movie's other merits.
To add more, it also entertains from throwing bits of situational humor - which is a big plus point.
Exotic locations - Yes! Expensive cars - Yes! Over-the-top action - Yes! Damsel in distress+romantic interest - Yes! Punch-liners - Yes! Exclusive theme - oh yes!
And here's your Spectre - a quintessential 007 spy film (did I miss anything - well you will see that in it anyway). Come on, who doesn't like to be entertained from all these?
So, go for it - you won't regret - but don't nit-pick, I request. Just go there, watch and see Craig doing what he does best - things, which we may won't get a chance to do or be in a lifetime; for, these movies are meant for that. No?
