Film review: Spectre

Yesterday it was time to go the movies and we watched the current James Bond - Spectre.


James Bond is back in action! Although after his last vacation he has been suspended. A lead from this vacation brings out a dark secret, which seems also connected to his own past. And it all comes down to the secret organisation named Spectre, which a guy named Franz Oberhauser as their leader.

To reveal more story would be spoiling , but the audience gets some more obviously. And although this is a James Bond movie with Daniel Craig - from the reboot point of view - there are many elements and objects that are directly connected to the original movies. It's debatable if this is a good thing, but at least the story is well done.

Crazy car chases through Rome, crashing planes in the Austrian alps and a final showdown at the evil mastermind's lair - these are the classical ingredients for a James Bond movie and still you hunger for more while watching the film. Especially since the previous movies tried to break the cliche and bring Bond to the 21st century.

Conclusion: although well done - and for my taste not too long - this movie leave the audience with a kind of emptiness that wants to be filled with more - more story, more background and especially more Christoph Waltz. I liked the film a lot, but still the predecessor - with all it's errors - is my favorite new Bond movie. I finally liked the new concept and going back from there is not easy for me.
