Review: This is the worst bond movie since “Die Another Day” and the worst Daniel Craig’s bond. I had really high expectations for this Spectre, after all I’m a Huge fan of Skyfall. This story is the same as MI5: Rogue Nation. The movie was too long with no intensity to it. The movie gave less screentime to Q, Miss Moneypenny and M which felt disappointing. The villain didn’t match up to to Silva, in the last installment. The dramatic shifts were not surprising, the performances were great. Christoph Waltz‘s performance was excellent although he didn’t have enough screen time. The fight scene between Craig and Batista was the best fight in the entire James Bond Legacy. The production design and cinematography were outstanding. All stunts were brilliant, no choppy editing or hand-held camera. There weren’t any ground breaking action scene as the prior installments in the Craig Bond series. The Bond girls were really disappointing. They put in effort, but really hard to convince the audience. Daniel Craig’s performance made the movie watchable.
Recommendation: In the end Spectre won’t satisfy everyone. It was a disappointment for Bond Fans. Bond 25 should have a fresh new start or something new to series to boost things up.

Tyler Perry is the critical elephant in the room as Hollywood elites discuss diversity. When Carnal Knowledge (Mike Nichols) came out in 1971, I was twelve. The name sent shivers up my spine.
