Spectre movie review

Paul, Phil and I took in the 8:30 screening of the latest James Bond movie - Spectre last night at the Eldorado.

Hmm what do you say. It's not one where one waits for the DVD. I don't reckon I could make it through if I was watching it on DVD. I found it tedious. There were a few times when I sat foward in my seat to avoid going off to sleep.

Daniel Craig playing James Bond seemed dull. The whole thing seemed to lack the sophistication that we associate with JB.

After a opening sequence which in hindsight was the highlight of the film we were treated to a lack luster opening credit sequence. Made me dream of those siluette sequences of the mid 1970's with "Shirly Bassey" or "lulu" singing.

The film then seemed to turn into a travelogue. I wondered whether the producers had emailed cities around the world offering to shoot some of the story and then chosen the cities who offered the best price and then run a script workshop to work out what they would actually film. Then shoved it all together.
