Scroll down to read our genuine review of this Sam Mendes directorial.
Same old story in new bottle: ‘Spectre’ follows that old fashioned James Bond Story line, but this time director Sam Mendes have wrapped it in a new attractive cover. The movie portrays the story of James Bond who reaches Mexico City and later Rome following a secret message from the past. In his journey he finds a widow who is ravishing and seducing in nature. The 007 agent soon infiltrates in a secret meeting and finds that there is a sinister organization called ‘Spectre’ which is the storehouse of all dreaded activities.
Now, James Bond starts his hunt to take down ‘Spectre’, and soon he realizes that there is a small yet significant connection between him and the underworld king pin.
Stellar performances from the star cast: Daniel Craig and Monica Bellucci have done their best, but the show stealer of the movie is none other than Christoph Waltz. This man was at his best, and he pulled out a stellar performance. In the future, Spectre will be remembered as a movie which exploited the acting skills of Waltz.
Technically brilliant: The visuals of Spectre is top notch, and Hoyte van Hoytema, the cinematographer deserve a special mention for his efforts. Thomas Newmann’s scores added the mood of the movie.
Sam Mendes has paced both the halves of the movie perfectly, and it will not make the audiences bored even for a second.
Altogether Spectre is one such movie which has all the ingredients to satisfy James Bond movie lovers.
