BOND takes you forward》》 plot pulls you back.《《 Its Amazon time Its Uber time. Disruptive technology is the byword of the 21st century and the good old MI6 is not going to be spared either. It's restructuring/cost cutting- take your pick-the British government doesn't intend to fund Bond and his gals and cars anymore. Unaware of these Board level decisions Bond nearly seduces a gorgeous chick and sets off a breathtaking opening scene in Mexico before the trademark titles song takes over. The first 90 minutes checks all the boxes-exotic locales/Bond gal romances-seductions/promising villain and then it goes on auto pilot if you see what I mean. You can see Burj Khalifa from miles in Dubai and you can say the same about the plot of Spectre. The movie is about the relevance of human element in the light of technology and as such deserves a more solid concrete brick and mortar plot befitting the Bond. 24th movie in the franchise and it won't disappoint you especially the first 90 minutes but keep your expectations non Bond-esque. And try to catch the movie where the strategic parts played by the Bond gals are not culled(if you know what I mean)..after all its a Bond movie. PS : Skyfall was the most successful ever and Javier Bardem(inimitable No County For Old Men) was definitely one of the reasons. Here the villain is as strong as the robes Bond disarms you know when.
