Intricate Escapes and More History on Bond

Rating: 9/10 (27 December 2015)

Spectre is one of the best Bond films yet.. It's up there with Skyfall and Goldfinger. The movie featured a little more romance than the usual. The cinematography and the music score for this film really made the scenes grip the viewer. It was an interesting take to have Bond's adopted brother be the villain. It made the plot a lot darker and the fact that he described himself as the "author of all your pain", implied that this man was a way bigger threat, because he most likely had been sabotaging things for years. The last scene with the booby traps and the girl in danger was a little cliché, but it was nice to see how much thought went into it. Whether it was CGI or makeup, the antagonist looked spooky with the missing eye. With the combination of all the camera surveillance and the immense knowledge the enemy group had on James Bond, this is one of the few films that really makes the audience fear for him. It's a nonstop ride from start to finish with a little humor, and just enough back story to make the people care. WELL DONE.
