Reno on Spectre

7/10 · Feb 14, 2016

This isn’t your typical installment in the Bond series, yet it remains an enjoyable film. I appreciated aspects of recent Bond films—they moved away from the usual 007 formula and didn't depend so much on gadgets. This shift began with Daniel Craig’s portrayal of the iconic British spy, James Bond. He’s certainly the most physically imposing Bond I’ve ever seen, and this film marks a ten-year milestone for him. The big question now is whether he will return for another movie or if he's finished with the franchise; the ambiguous ending leaves you wondering. The conclusion seemed to suggest it was Craig’s goodbye, but then an official statement indicated that Bond 25 would be his fifth and subsequent films until he decides otherwise. 'Spectre' felt like a straightforward Bond film, though the production values were so high that it's hard not to enjoy it. The performances were decent, although they didn't quite live up to my expectations. Some scenes seemed rather commonplace for a Bond movie—similar to contemporary action films—though it wasn’t as terrible as some critics have claimed. I was surprised by one particular disappointment; the explanation of what the “C” stands for felt underwhelming compared to the "M" for Moron. James Bond movies always have their peaks and valleys, and while 'Skyfall' was a massive success, this film hasn’t reached that level. It’s very entertaining with all the action sequences and surprising plot developments. As a spy movie, it’s acceptable, but as a Bond movie, it might disappoint some viewers; ultimately, it depends on your perspective. But honestly, I did enjoy it. 7/10
