‘Spectre’ gives us all the Bond adventure we expect, but story falters

These three factors are, of course, the foundation in which every James Bond action film is built upon.

Mexico City is colourful, crowded, chaotic, while the Austrian Alps are cold, monochrome, desolate and Rome is classically attractive. 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.

This is the 24th installation of Bond’s adventures and viewers keep coming back for more. A clever variation on the shot was used in Casino Royale, but this was much different.

Oberhauser leads an worldwide terrorist group called Spectre. Composer John Barry created the Bond theme genre with this mix of high-end horn flourishes and over-the-top, dramatic vocals from Bassey that captured the stylish, flirty tone of the films. The character falls in love and is willing to honor love over mission. Being an original script, rather than an adaption of one of Ian Flemming’s novels, opened up the film to make itself relevant to the modern audience, and I believe it’s one that paid off.

“I’ve a script to work on, and we work on that quite attentively to get an extended time frame before we begin shooting the movie”. Wilson has confirmed that star Daniel Craig is not contracted for five films and director Sam Mendes didn’t want to return to the franchise after Skyfall. The lovely cat belonged to the evil Ernst Stavro Blofeld.

Another connection: The final battle in “Spectre” takes place where it all started, at the damaged MI6 building that was bombed in “Skyfall”. The poster was sold by the Reel Poster Gallery in London to a United States collector for $690,000 (about £456,407, AU$979,140) in November 2005.

Spectre is 148 minutes long and surpassed Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban during its opening week in the United Kingdom, grossing more than £52 million ($118.6m).

It’s certainly a question as to where the movie series will go from here. Caty Weaver was the editor.
