Beautifully orchestrated opening strains of the iconic theme music quietly titillate us before erupting with Bond’s anticipated appearance in his signature gun barrel.
SOUNDING just a little bit like a central character from the film he has just directed, Sam Mendes throws his head back, laughs and says “never say never”.
“Spectre” is scheduled to be released in China on November 13th. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Wilson said, “I think we’ve got Daniel Craig“. The Critics Consensus reads, “Spectre nudges Daniel Craig’s rebooted Bond closer to the glorious, action-driven spectacle of earlier entries, although it’s admittedly reliant on established 007 formula”. “The pronouncements after the last movie were taken seriously and I then had to undo them when I agreed to make this movie”. Being an original script, rather than an adaption of one of Ian Flemming’s novels, opened up the film to make itself relevant to the modern audience, and I believe it’s one that paid off. Globally, “Spectre” has made nearly $300 million.

“They (cutters) were absolutely brilliant”. No spoilers, but things happen that require you to believe that they are legitimately in love, and despite being the longest Bond ever at 148 minutes, there is just not enough development in there for anyone to buy that. Although “Spectre” ends on a note of curiously bittersweet finality, the end credits still herald Bond’s return.
