SPECTRE FILM 2015 MOVIE
The movie marks Spectre and Blofeld's first appearance in an Eon Productions movie since 1971's Diamonds Are Forever a character resembling Blofeld had previously appeared in the 1981 movie, For Your Eyes Only, but, because of the Thunderball controversy, he is not named, nor is his face shown. The story sees Bond pitted against the global criminal organisation Spectre and their enigmatic leader Ernst Stavro Blofeld ( Christoph Waltz), who plans to launch a national surveillance network to mastermind criminal activities across the globe. It is the last James Bond movie to be distributed by Columbia Pictures, as Universal Pictures will internationally distribute the next movie in the series, No Time to Die.
SPECTRE FILM 2015 SERIES
It is the fourth movie to feature Daniel Craig as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond and the second movie in the series directed by Sam Mendes following Skyfall, and was written by John Logan, Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and Jez Butterworth. Read our interview with Daniel Craig to find out what he thought about the film.Spectre is a 2015 British- American spy movie and the twenty-fourth James Bond series produced by Eon Productions for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Columbia Pictures. If this is Craig’s farewell to the tux, he’s going out with a whole string of very loud bangs. The result is an unbalanced but never less than entertaining film, enthralling and deflating in roughly equal measure, and studded with moments of true, old-school glory. As the second half unfolds, the absence of an emotional core becomes ever more glaring, hopping from one action beat to the next without ever asking us to care – or, at times, understand – what’s going on. And this is reflective of ‘Spectre’ as a whole: in trying to do too much, the focus becomes lost. One major problem is a ridiculously unconvincing villain: the script attempts to shoehorn a spot of ‘Skyfall’-style backstory between Bond and his enemy, which sadly leaves the character looking more laughable than terrifying, despite Waltz’s best efforts. But somewhere between the introduction of Léa Seydoux’s snappy but underwritten Madeleine Swann and some antics in the Sahara that unpleasantly (and, we’d assume, unintentionally) recall the climax of ‘Quantum of Solace’, the wheels come rattling off this Aston Martin.
SPECTRE FILM 2015 FULL
So far, so sleek and spellbinding: director Sam Mendes exercises complete control over his material, Craig’s bruised bulldog charm is in full effect and the visuals by crack cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema are rich and ravishing. Which, of course, doesn’t stop our James from speeding off to Rome, Austria and north Africa on the trail of the titular band of assassins, terrorists and all-round global troublemakers run by the literally shadowy Franz Oberhauser (Christoph Waltz). Then it's back to London for some very bad news: MI6’s Double-0 program is under threat thanks to the machinations of creepy surveillance agent C (Andrew Scott), leaving old warhorses like M (Ralph Fiennes), Q (Ben Whishaw) and Bond himself facing the scrapheap. We find Bond in Mexico City – it’s the Day of the Dead, the perfect excuse for rampaging masked crowds, unexpected explosions and a swooping, supercharged helicopter sequence that’ll have you choking on your popcorn. From both the tone and content of ‘Spectre’, we’d guess this could be his swansong: this is a film that gathers all the great – and some of the not-so-great – things about the three previous films in the Craig-as-Bond cycle into one rousing, spectacular, scattershot and somewhat overextended victory lap.
Daniel Craig has been slippery and circumspect when asked if ‘Spectre’ will be his final outing as James Bond. Well, this certainly feels like a full stop.
