Spectre is yet to be released around the world.

If it were to happen, there’s one thing we know for certain – he’d have the charming gent factor on lock from the get-go.
When asked how he would have answered, Fiennes said: “Would I pout?!”
The remit for Spectre was simple.
Craig told Sky News he was “very proud” of the movie and felt the team had “done the best we could”.
A number of reporters have been askimg Craig to name someone who could suitably replace him as Bond for future extensions of the franchise. The jury’s still out, though, on whether “Spectre” can also surpass that “Skyfall”‘s total United Kingdom haul of £103 million (approximately $157 million), which earned it the status of the highest-grossing movie of all time across the pond. In fact, I’ve never been happier making these films.
If youve ever wondered just how great a secret agent James Bond actually is as he traipses across the globe spouting his catchphrase, “Bond, James Bond”, at every available opportunity, youre not alone. “You’ve got to make it look as lovely and as glamorous as possible”. It’s just one of the lots in a two-day sale that includes timekeepers from Cartier, Breitling, and Vacheron Constantin, among others.
“Skyfall was an entirely reactive movie, as far as Bond was concerned”. “You could even argue that at the end of Skyfall, he’s failed”. Bond’s boss is usually M, his gadgets will be supplied by Q, and he will spar with secretary Moneypenny (though these roles have also been played by different characters).
Spectre opens with the text: “THE DEAD ARE ALIVE” – I would counter that here the reverse is true.
We are living in a retro age, when old is new and judging by the spectrum-crossing age range of the audience, there is plenty of appetite for the adventures of 007.
“Man of Steel” turned James Bond, who would not fancy that?
Omega president Stephen Urquhart said: “James Bond is a character who draws on this past”. The first one I saw at the cinema was Roger Moore’s last outing: A View to a Kill. “I want people to remember it as a good time for Bond”.

That’s not to say there aren’t a few poor performances, Dave Bautista fails to hit his mark as the brutish Mr Hinx, and Andrew Scott – as Bond’s new boss and “cocky little bastard” Max Denbigh – falls flat. “The best acting is when you’re not concerned about the surface”.
