A cryptic message from the past sends James Bond on a rogue
mission to Mexico City and eventually Rome, where he meets Lucia, the beautiful
and forbidden widow of an infamous criminal. Bond infiltrates a secret meeting
and uncovers the existence of the sinister organization known as SPECTRE.
Meanwhile back in London, Max Denbigh, the new head of the Centre of National
Security, questions Bond's actions and challenges the relevance of MI6 led by
M. Bond covertly enlists Moneypenny and Q to help him seek out Madeleine Swann,
the daughter of his old nemesis Mr. White, who may hold the clue to untangling
the web of SPECTRE. As the daughter of the assassin, she understands Bond in a
way most others cannot. As Bond ventures towards the heart of SPECTRE, he
learns a chilling connection between himself and the enemy he seeks.
SPECTRE is directed by Sam Mendes, written by John Logan,
Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, and Jez Butterworth, and produced by Barbara
Broccoli. As long as I can remember I’ve been a fan of the 007 James Bond
series. I practically grew up watching theme from likes of Sean Connery and
Roger Moore my roots grow deep. Now the recent continuation of the series with
Daniel Craig maybe I’ve out grown the love for 007. This film in particular to
me didn’t carry the attraction it used to, maybe the fact that I already know
that James is going to make it out alive and get the girl. In that case it is
more about switching up the story rather than the character himself. I like
that James is so stylish and a bit of a rebel at times as well as his 100%
commitment to his job. We seen him show some vulnerability, but never to the
point where he seems flawed or have any kind of weakness. This to me is where
I’d like to see some development. I do understand that in the reality of the
James Bond universe if he was to have any real weakness he’d probably be dead
already. So I get it, I’m just ready to see some vulnerability so can suspend
my disbelief and really feel like the danger James faces could really be his
end. So as for SPECTRE I give it 3 stars.
