Spectre Now Has a Guinness Record For The Largest Film Detonation
Casino Royale, Daniel Craig’s first stint as the superspy, set the high mark with a 95 approval rating. More conviction within the acting, a stronger script, and an overarching better storyline would have been necessary to raise the film even remotely close to the standard or captivation level of previous Craig Bond films.
Nearly 10 years later, this era may very well be at its end.
Daniel Craig plays Bond in Spectre, but it was Pierce Brosnan who played the infamous spy in Tomorrow Never Dies. As 007 deals with the group, trying to find its leader, Christoph Waltz, a member of the Joint Intelligence Service, Max Denbigh, Andrew Scott, is trying to get the 00 program shut down and replaced by a program known as Nine Eyes. It became more psychological with him, as well.
$650 million might seem like an insane amount of money – and it is – but nowadays, that’s par for the course when it comes to major franchises like Bond. This being a Bond movie he and this network are not what they intitally appear to be. Waltz puts in another good performance and, because of his talent, he feels underused with about thirty-five minutes of screen time in a two and a half hour long movie.
A bit of globetrotting and dodging Hinx later, Bond tracks down an adversary from his past, Mr. White (Jesper Christensen) to gain information about SPECTRE. She is the daughter of a former member of the terror organization who kills himself in front of Bond, wishing with his last breath that Bond protect her. The younger woman, Bond learns, is already quite handy with a gun.
Bringing back the villains of the old classics is characteristic of a film that is full of loving tributes to the greatest Bond films – a train fight reminiscent of From Russian Federation with Love and a gruesome modern update to Goldfinger’s laser scene.
It’s up to Bond, with a few help from his friends to put all the pieces together and once again save the day.
He’s the most enduring secret agent character in movie history.
Craig went on to tell the viewers to watch “Spectre” see how the issue had been rectified. Bond is a character that will live forever.
It was entertaining on its own merit, but required a lot from the audience to connect all the dots. The exciting movie is filled with action and changes direction as often as actor Daniel Craig does in the final scene.
