- OdinTheRavenKingApril 17, 2026## Synopsis After the Death of M, an intelligence entity is attempting to shut down the Double-O program, Bond goes out on his own to continue to find the source of the events that have transpired over the past couple of years. ## Review Since [[Skyfall]], these movies have just gotten better. This one you get to see a ton of growth in James, and it really adds a ton of depth to the movie. I really like the layered story telling of all the movies, and it makes sense to the overall story so that is a really nice plus. Seeing Q become more active was outstanding. I appreciate him working through listing to others and then trusting his gut. It makes for a great story telling for someone who has a small part. Ralph and Christoph are outstanding. Christoph in this movie was the first thing I thought of when I watch [[The Consultant]]. Just this weird sadistic dude. Most of the story I get. I have heard that if I knew the old movies, this would be more important, but having only really gotten into Bond with Daniel Craig, I feel like I am missing parts of the story. The reason Christoph's character is targeting James feels glossed over and makes him feel more villainy than just a dude who doesn't care about anything. Not money, not power, not anything. Yes I know he makes statements about wanting power, but I have never felt the character actually believes it. ## [My Rating] I like this movie. It has a rich character story that I think most people can miss, but resonates so much. The action is good and paced well without being over the top or unrealistic like in [[Quantum of Solace]]. Daniel is a fine wine in this movie just being a better actor as time goes on and the rest of the cast raises to the occasion for sure. Without much thought, I am giving this an 8 ## [Parental Rating] There is a partially on screen suicide. I think it is technically off-screen, but it is shown multiple times just off camera that my mom would be upset. The language is not terrible, but present. Violence is graphic within the torture scene, but outside of that is limited to your typical James Bond violence where one bullet makes people fall backwards. I think there is a sex scene, but it was implied more than shown, so I don't see it as being an issue. It is hard for me to say approved for either one, but I know my dad does enjoy these movies so I am going to say approved by Dad and rejected by Mom.
- ZokkiieJanuary 15, 2026A bit of a let down. It looks fantastic and has a few great action moments (especially early on), but the story feels muddled and the big bad doesn’t quite hit the mark. Still, the music and atmosphere do a lot of heavy lifting, and it’s an easy, stylish watch overall. Not amazing, not bad — just a decent Bond night
- JakeysJanuary 3, 2026Great intro, great henchman, great outfits, great train sequence... okay that's it. Bad Bond movie. Atrocious third act. Seriously the third act SUCKED. What the hell was that. Did the torture thing even do anything? This lame villain was retroactively behind all of the previous movies? Come on, what a joke. On the plus side, it could all be forgiven for that one shot of Lea Seydoux walking up to Bond for dinner on the train in that amazing slinky dress... genuinely stunning in the cinema. Also, Skyfall makes such a big deal about how Bond is aged out as a 00 Agent, only to just completely dismiss it for this movie and have him fighting giant Dave Bautista sized henchmen (again, great btw, classic Bond trope) and leaping from buildings like he's in his 20's. One final note. Because of this movie, I thought I didn't like Andrew Scott. But, now having seen Fleabag, I owe him a huge apology. His character sucked, actually everything about that entire subplot sucked, but he's awesome.
- Nathan MagretaOctober 31, 2025Someone please explain the hate for this movie. Spectre is an extremely ambitious film, as it attempts to Tie in all the previous Daniel Craig outings, and though it sometimes doesn't reach the heights it wants to, Daniel craig still leads and overall amazing bond film.
