Introductions
Spectre is the twenty-fourth James Bond film produced by Eon Productions. It features Daniel Craig in his fourth performance as James Bond, and Christoph Waltz as Ernst Stavro Blofeld, with the film marking the character's re-introduction into the series. It was directed by Sam Mendes as his second James Bond film following Skyfall, and was written by John Logan, Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and Jez Butterworth. It is distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Columbia Pictures. With a budget around $245 million, it is one of the most expensive films ever made.
The story features James Bond's first encounter with the global criminal organisation Spectre, marking the group's first appearance in an Eon Productions film since 1971's Diamonds Are Forever, and tying Craig's series of films together with an overarching storyline. Several recurring James Bond characters, including M, Q and Eve Moneypenny return, with the new additions of Léa Seydoux as Dr. Madeleine Swann, Dave Bautista as Mr. Hinx, Andrew Scott as Max Denbigh and Monica Bellucci as Lucia Sciarra.
Spectre was released on 26 October 2015 in the United Kingdom on the same night as the world premiere at the Royal Albert Hall in London, followed by a worldwide release. It was released in the United States on 6 November 2015. It became the second James Bond film to be screened in IMAX venues after Skyfall, although it was not filmed with IMAX cameras. Spectre generally received mixed reviews from critics in comparison to its predecessor, being criticised for its length and writing, but received praise for Craig and Seydoux's acting, the direction and score. As of 15 November 2015 Spectre has grossed $543 million
Plot
On a mission in Mexico City, unofficially ordered by the previous M by way of a posthumous message, James Bond kills two men arranging to blow up a stadium and gives chase to Marco Sciarra, an assassin who survived the attack. In the ensuing struggle, Bond kills Sciarra and steals his ring, which is emblazoned with a stylised octopus. On his return to London Bond is indefinitely suspended from field duty by the current M, who is in the midst of a power struggle with C, the head of the privately-backed Joint Intelligence Service, which consists of the recently merged MI5 and MI6. C also campaigns for Britain to join "Nine Eyes", a global surveillance and intelligence co-operation initiative between nine member states. C uses his influence to close down the '00' section, believing it to be outdated.
Bond disobeys M's order and travels to Rome to attend Sciarra's funeral. That evening he visits Sciarra's widow Lucia, who tells him about Spectre, a criminal organisation to which her husband belonged. Bond enters a Spectre meeting by showing Sciarra's ring, where he identifies Spectre's leader, Franz Oberhauser. Oberhauser mentions the events in Mexico and addresses Bond by name, prompting Bond to escape. A car chase through Rome ensues, with Bond pursued by Mr. Hinx, a Spectre assassin. Moneypenny informs Bond that a reference he heard in both Mexico and the meeting will lead to Mr. White, a former member of Quantum, a subsidiary of the Spectre organisation. Bond also asks her to investigate Franz Oberhauser, whom the world believes to be dead.
Overall Review
Maybe if my review sounds so subjective.. Ever since the opening scenes, I don't like it. So gloomy (skull everywhere, meh) and too much exploitation towards women body. When Bond exploit women and lust over them, I don't feel comfortable.. I don't know, but sorry for Bond fans; I think Bond movies are really not my cup of tea :s
But overall; its story line, cinematography and action scenes are great! If you are a Bond fans, you won't be disappoint with this movie, but unfortunately it doesn't contain any noticeable morale lesson..
Yeaa.. just kill here and there, grab any women body and exploit their bodies. Ugh so gross -__- he even kissed three different women in this movie only.
So, have you watched Spectre? What do you think about this review?
