James Bond Episode IV

Rating: 8/10 (11 November 2015)

When I pushed the theater doors yesterday night, I was really anxious and impatient. 3 years after Skyfall, which still amazes me today, James Bond is back. And what a come back.
Before going further, I would like to warn you. If you think that Spectre is only about the come-back of Blofeld and his confrontation with James Bond, you are missing the greatest part of the plot.
Simply because Spectre is another part of the global story line inaugurated by Casino Royale. This new opus is strongly linked to its 3 predecessors. What James got through, the death of the people he cares the most (Vesper and M), the enemies he crossed and eliminated (Le Chiffre, Dominic Greene and Silva), all of this have a repercussion on this new movie and the source of it is Blofeld and Spectre. So if you haven't seen the first 3 movies you could feel lost.
Now that said, I have to say I enjoyed this movie so much. Daniel Craig is still perfect as a James Bond still hunted by his demons from the past. He is still a hero but a human hero with his weaknesses. I like this side really much because it is making more like us and more attractive. I am falling in love with James Bond and I hope he will go for another round.
Lea Seydoux, which I discovered in Mission Impossible 4, is so graceful in her role as Madeleine. Again she is stronger than she looked. She is not a professional assassin like in MI4 but she has still her angelic aura. She also can take care of herself as we see her fighting on that train against a huge enemy. She will go far if she continues in this path.
Christopher Waltz is just frightening as Oberhauser better known as Blofeld. As you probably know, Blofeld is to James Bond what Joker is to Batman. His favorite archenemy, the one responsible for all Bond torments. To incarnate such an evil character, you need to have a certain charisma and talent. Which Waltz proved throughout the movie. He is remembering me John Malkovich who has played a lot of psychopaths in his long career. Anyway I had chills throughout the scenes he appears especially the torture scenes. I remember my hand grasping tight my companion's one during it. So sorry for hurting you that way my love <3
I would have wished to see more of Monica Bellucci who is also touched by her grace in the few scenes she is appearing. I would say it is a shame she has not a bigger part of this plot.
Now I hope you will enjoy the movie as I did and I sincerely wish the Bond team will keep in that path because it is so much more interesting to see.
