During the 20 films 007 experienced countless adventures, conquered all the girls and played with a lot of gadgets fascinating. Then came Daniel Craig and gave a twist to what was to be James Bond, and his entire universe. Casino Royale was a great start to his era, but Spectre could be a slow and awkward end. I've seen Spectre and is the worst of the Craig era, but has some great moments.
This is a completely free of spoilers review, you can read freely.
I am a child who enjoy the films of James Bond, especially since he saw the legendary GoldenEye and played many hours a Nintendo 64 video game of the same name. I have seen again and again the 23 films in the series, and went to the cinema to see Spectre with high expectations, perhaps too many.
Unfortunately, although it is true that I enjoyed the movie, I left the room disappointed. He expected more from both the villain and the overall plot. As I said a good friend who has also seen Spectre, "you know there's a problem if half the film view the clock and you wonder how much longer." And it is that, Spectre is one of the longest films in the history of 007, and not worth it. The pace at times feel so awkward and tiring stretch, opaque great moments and the history of film, which is its greatest advantage.
For in the days of Sean Connery and Roger Moore's character he was completely different to what it is today 007.
Bond enjoyed being Bond, he enjoyed killing the bad, use toys and spend
a night or two (maximum) with a woman of exotic beauty did not say more
than two lines in the movie. This perhaps had its day, but the cinema has evolved (for good), and Casino Royale marked the evolution of Bond.
James Bond is now suffering an extremely dark and disturbed person. He is a spy with a license to kill not because you enjoy it, but because it is good at it and think you can not do anything else, feels there is no other answer. Casino, however, he met a woman who caught him, and refused to be a spy ... briefly. The betrayal of this girl made it even more experienced, and became the Bond we see in three films, including Spectre.
This is important because states that Bond's past, that of which we know almost nothing, plays a vital role in his life ... as it should be. And his past haunts him in Spectre, a film that is based on two things: revenge and surveillance. And the latter is because the film is clearly influenced by the likes of Edward Snowden and Julian Assange. In several films we have seen how the government has tried to get rid of the "Program 00" because he considers obsolete. "Today what works is the citizen oversight and drones," says a character in Spectre regardless of what that means, while another responds with a "what you plan is the worst nightmare of George Orwell," and has right.
All Spectre formula on paper, it sounds wonderful. But it is told with such a poor rate and extend the film so much that it be boring at times.
Fortunately each of the stunts is so epic that you will get attentive
on the couch in the living room, the one where seconds before you were
sleeping or thinking about revising Twitter.
All events that shaped Bond so far became someone with a vengeance, a
hunter looking for his prey regardless of anyone's orders, come on, that
makes Bond as Bond.
But his past is also reflected in the film's villains, who for better or worse follow the same formula of the classic 007: a mastermind, a stooge and thousands chases and confrontations. Although Christoph Waltz, winner of two Oscars, does a brilliant job in his performance (as always) and gives the seal so characteristic of him charming, mocking and satirical humor, I feel Oberhauser can be much more, it needed to be more macabre, or at least more threatening.
Or maybe not yet overcome the great achievement it was Silva Javier Bardem in Skyfall.
And the film brings some surprises and we will bring smiles to those
who know the good history of Bond, plus the two women who star in the
film, the (misnamed) "Bond girls" Spectre, do a
wonderful job, remind us (especially Léa Seydoux) than women in the
Craig era are no trophies, and can easily deal with the villains of the
film ... and the same 007.
Also, this may be the last Bond stars Daniel Craig , whose age has been a real before and after for the franchise. It is without doubt the most human Bond we have seen, so many applaud Craig.

A good story told stumbled
Skyfall is, for many, the best movie of Daniel Craig was so far (though my personal favorite is Casino Royale), and those who know the history and past of the character enjoyed it even more because we saw clearly, as he closed a Bond circle and returning to its roots. It was a complete reboot of the series, but the style was "Craig", and that was wonderful. James Bond is now suffering an extremely dark and disturbed person. He is a spy with a license to kill not because you enjoy it, but because it is good at it and think you can not do anything else, feels there is no other answer. Casino, however, he met a woman who caught him, and refused to be a spy ... briefly.

The past haunts you, Bond
We talked about surveillance, let's talk about revenge. In Spectre we see how all the past of Bond (that of Craig, at least) pursues. From its history as a child to the people he has met in his way, and he has lost. It seems a great obituary full of good and bad people, and at various times the great Judi Dench appears ("M") to remind us how wonderful it was for 7 films. It is that "M", "M" Dench was the best of the Bond universe. But his past is also reflected in the film's villains, who for better or worse follow the same formula of the classic 007: a mastermind, a stooge and thousands chases and confrontations. Although Christoph Waltz, winner of two Oscars, does a brilliant job in his performance (as always) and gives the seal so characteristic of him charming, mocking and satirical humor, I feel Oberhauser can be much more, it needed to be more macabre, or at least more threatening.
Or maybe not yet overcome the great achievement it was Silva Javier Bardem in Skyfall.
The best
- The plot line of the film, and how Bond is more human than ever
- The way such sensitive issues is real life as citizen oversight of many governments on the citizens of their countries
- Léa Seydoux is not a Bond girl either, the chick kicks butt
- All scenarios are glorious, as always
- The opening sequence in Mexico during the Day of the Dead is one of the funniest moments I've seen in the "Age Craig"
- The new relationship between Bond and Moneypenny
- The charm of Christoph Waltz, is that the guy is a master.
- The brief moments when we see the "M" Dame Judi Dench
Worst
- How have the film, long, drawn to sit. Mutilates an incredible shape your good story
- The charm of Christoph Waltz is a good thing, but in turn the main villain of the film should have been much more threatening
- Also he expected much more from Hinx Dave Bautista. While this muscular villain is clearly inspired by the followers of the old movies, those who killed their jaws and their hats, Hinx only has an epic moment in the film, of other bores
- The clumsy way connect all movies Craig to Spectre. Seriously, it just seems to be going HYDRA (Hail Hydra!)
- I doubt that we will see Judy Dench in any Bond film, and that's a tragedy
Is it worth watching?
With its failures and faults, Spectre remains an entertaining film worthy of being seen by all fans of Agent 007. Too many connections with their past (both Craig was like in the past) that make it a must-play franchise. What I recommend is that you do not go with the expectation that exceeds Skyfall, because it does. Nor to Casino Royale. It is located quite the same level of Quantom of Solace, or maybe a little above.Also, this may be the last Bond stars Daniel Craig , whose age has been a real before and after for the franchise. It is without doubt the most human Bond we have seen, so many applaud Craig.
