Not the Best Bond But It's Still Pretty Good

Rating: 8/10 (13 November 2015)

Director Sam Mendes returns to direct Spectre. He directed Skyfall, one of the best James Bond films, and now he adds to the collection with Spectre. Daniel Craig has another excellent performance as 007, Christoph Waltz is amazing as the antagonist, and Léa Seydoux is also very good. Ralph Fiennes and Naomi Harris are good in supporting roles. Bautista is even in this and he's pretty awesome.
The story of Spectre resembles Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation in a few ways. First, 007 is on his own in the field to take down Spectre, just as Ethan Hunt is on his own to take down the Syndicate. Second, the 00 program is being shut down, just as the IMF. The problem with Spectre's plot is that Christoph Waltz isn't really in the movie that much. He's excellent in the few scenes he's in but the movie treats him like a side character even though he's supposed to be the main villain. Also the whole thing with the 00 program being shut down wasn't necessary. It didn't do much for the plot at all.
The action in Spectre is out of this world! This is probably the mot action packed Bond film. From car chases to airplane chases to explosions to fist fights, Spectre has it all action wise. The first scene of the movie is pretty intense as is most of the movie. The few scenes of suspense were great.
Overall, I had a great time with Spectre. The only flaws were with the plot but everything else is very good. It's not quite as good as Casino Royale or Skyfall, but it's definitely worth a watch. From A+ to F, Spectre gets a B+.
