I had to. Sucker. Yes - Went and caught Daniel Craig take on another installment of playing the famed Fleming character, the British Secret Service agent with a double O handle.
'Spectre' as in ghost of something in the past - is what Bond ends up chasing as he tries to find out his nemesis in the newest Sam Mendes directed movie. Coming off the last edition called 'Skyfall' the director, actor pair are at it again - this time through streets of Roma, Tangier, Mexico City.
The female cast is blah at best, not sure what is going on there - except I guess Naomie Harris, the British actress playing Moneypenny. I think she is just getting started.
The gadgets are getting less screen time but having Craig on screen is not a bad deal - I am sure people have variety of opinion on that.
Plot lines are not quite exciting anymore either and some of the sequences appear predictable. I suppose it is hard to keep topping off past adventures within and without the franchise so unless they start thinking Silicon Valley like and Bond ditches his Aston for an Uber or orders Pizza through an app instead of opting for fine dining, after reading some Yelp Reviews, this thing is heading for a 'FORGET IT' experience.
This time the movieplex we caught it in - at least the seats were recliners - yes all the way with room to spare for folks to walk in the aisle. Not too shabby for a couple hours at the matinee (which spells less moolah).
