If only the final third was as good as the first two

Rating: 6/10 (10 November 2015)

I eagerly anticipated the new Bond, as I felt "Skyfall" had created a new exciting era in the James Bond series and left behind the complicated and at times boringness of "Quantum of Solace". For the most part "Spectre" was captivating for me, as it ticked the list of what is required in a Bond Film. It had an epic car chase with top range super cars, that I can only dream of driving and it had James' womanising tendencies, which naturally make him a hero for many men around the world. It also had great scenes of physical combat and gunfighting, which the camera conveys amazingly. Sam Mendes, the directer,should really be praised for his at times breathtaking camera work, particularly in the opening scene, where he builds tension and suspense with mostly his camera work. The reason why I give Spectre a 6 and not a higher number, is because the last third of the film was disappointing for me to an extent. The first two thirds of the film appear quick, dramatic, compelling and it builds up a plot, which ultimately lets me down. As I have put before the article this contains spoilers. I don't like the fact that the writers are so keen on connecting the four films staring Daniel Craig. I grew up as a kid watching the Pierce Brosnan Bond films, which were unique in terms of storyline, that is not to say the story lines were particularly great! The film explains that the Spectre Organisation has been the bad guy,so to speak, in each of Daniel Craig's Bond films, which personally for me dilutes the individual evilness of the villain's. Overall the film entertained me and the I would join with all Bond fans to call for more films. However in the future I would like to see Bond films more unique and not simply follow the apparent rules for Bond films, however I realise the necessity to keep the women, cars and vodka Martini's.
