Spectre:

The James Bond series ranges from “Hey, that was pretty good” to “Hey, that was pretty terrible”. Having seen all 24 Bond films, I am a big fan of the series. 2012’s “Skyfall” really developed the character of James Bond like no other film has, Sam Mendes gave him a backstory and he was more than just a secret agent. “Spectre” was very anticipated by many a filmgoer, and I must say I had a blast with “Spectre”. Daniel Craig is back as Bond and does a pretty good job with the character as usual, but the highlight of the film for me was definitely Christoph Waltz’s Franz Oberhauser that was truly great casting for a great villain. French actress Léa Seydoux as Madeleine Swann plays an interesting and badass love interest for Bond. The cinematography was pretty good for the most part. My one problem with this film was the script it was too predictable and it did drag on for a bit halfway through. All in all Spectre was a very enjoyable film. It wasn't as good as “Skyfall” or “Casino Royale” but it was way better than “Quantum of Solace”.
