Spectre

Daniel Craig as James Bond. Original

With Daniel Craig appearing in his 4th Bond film, and Spectre being the 24th installment of the James Bond cinema franchise. One thing that is not going for this movie is that it is living in the shadow of the Bond film before, Skyfall. I believed Skyfall was definitely a top 5 Bond film if not top 3. So, the new rendition of the Bond films had some big shoes to fill. It came close, but not completely. Overall, this is a solid Bond film. It contains all the elementary elements of a Bond film when it comes to chase sequences and fight scenes. When it comes to being a good Bond film was it good? Yes. Was it the best Bond Daniel Craig has been in? I think you have to say no. What I think makes the difference is how good the villain is.

The main villain of this movie is played by Christoph Waltz, who was so perfectly evil in Inglorious Bastards plays the character Blofeld, a mastermind of crime who runs an illuminati type of business in the world. Bond starts to unravel the pieces of the puzzle and trying to get to the seed of what is going on. While Bond's employer MI6 is still threating to end the spying 007 program. Bond comes into save the day by eventually solving the crime. with a few twists and turns along the way. But what I realize is that with movies like these, and all the superhero films coming out. The movie is only as good as the villain is.

One of the best movies that has come out this century is the Dark Knight, and you know you love this movie for how Heath Ledger just absolutely owned the part of the Joker. This is why you went to see that movie, your attracted to how weird it is. Unless it is some masterful twist to a movie, or just amazing acting, your attracted to the creepiness of the villain. The main characters in adventure/action films have been winning forever. Sometimes we want to see a deep and dark villain that intrigues us. This Bond really doesn't give us that which is why I give it a 7/10.
