Spectre Film Review

Finished watching Spectre, directed by San Mendes and starring Daniel Craig, Judi Dench, Alessandro Crermona, Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw, Christoph Waltz, Dave Bautista and Andrew Scott. The film opens up with James Bond (Daniel Craig) on a secret assignment for the previous M (Judi Dench) in Mexico City during the Day of the Dead celebrations to takeout Marco Sciarra (Alessandro Crermona) and his associates who have plans to bomb a local stadium. After finding out what happened in Mexico City by the news and the media the current M (Ralph Fiennes) has Q (Ben Whishaw) inject Bond with a nano blood to track his every movement after being grounded by M who wants to keep a close eye on him. This causes Bond to ask Q to keep his movements a secret as he heads up to Rome for the funeral of Marco Sciarra where he discovers the next meeting place for the organisation named Spectre were Bond is instantly recognised by the organisation's leader (Christoph Waltz) as one of the agents Mr Hinx (Dave Bautista) takes chase after Bond until he gives Hinx the slip. While this is happening back in London M is dealing with the new head of the Joint Intelligence Service, Max Denbigh (Andrew Scott) who is pushing a new system that will allow all intelligence organisations to spy on anyone at any given time. Overall this was a good film as it wraps up the story of Daniel Craig's James Bond films to a nice point which leaves the characters story to a subtle continuation with the door still open for more. There are some great comedic moments thanks to great character interactions and some visual moments thanks to things like the Aston Marten's gadgets not working to how Bond what's them to. The villains motive within the film feels very slightly conventional, however Christoph Waltz brings across an great performance that helps to layer the villainous leader of Spectre. 7/10.
