Spectre (2015) Might very well be the worst Bond film ever.
You know something is terribly wrong when you've seen Bond barrel roll a car over a river and go toe to toe with a komodo dragon and yet still not approach how contrived,unconvincing and something I thought I'd never say, unexciting the stunts in this film are.
It's also far too long and tediously talky and maybe worst of all there's a real sense of disconnect between the audience and what is happening onscreen.
It certainly doesn't help that by trying to marry the old to the new they've managed to do a real disservice to both.
In short, a Bond movie only suitable for non-Bond fans which is just as misguided as it sounds.
PS In full disclosure I fast forwarded through some of it which until now I never had the inclination to do with any other Bond film, even the shite ones.
PPS Sam Smith as a choice of theme songwriter basically sums it up.
Maybe I'll watch Creed or maybe at this point I'll just do the judicious thing and give up on films altogether.
