When we last saw James, he lost an integral person in his career. Even with her passing, she left him with a clue so he could finish what she started. The cryptic video was a message from her telling him to find a man and kill him. Killing isn't exactly a new thing for James, but he knew nothing of the significance of his newest victim. After research and tracking, James is on a forbidden mission. The double 0 program is in question and threatened with a new technology in which to wipe out the need of double 0's. James is told several times to lay low and end his mission, but if you have seen any James Bond movie, you know that simply won't happen. James gets deeper and deeper into the heart of Spectre; a group involved in terrorism with new technology that could host all information across the world. It is all run by one man James assumed to be dead a long time ago. He soon finds out this man is not only alive, but has been the shadow behind every loss James has dealt with throughout his life. James will not only fight for his own life, but also the life of the woman who could finally have his heart.
Obviosuly this was an action packed movie, but even with that, it wasn't outlandish. Things weren't blown up just for effect. The scenes were appropriate and raw especially when James fights a guy twice his size with no apprent reaction to pain. You get a strong sense throughout that James is near the end of his career whether that be in death or moving on. It isn't until the end of the movie that you figure out which. Some of the scenes when his promiscuity get the best of him are a bit cheesey in that they were really just placed to get the full James Bond feel. Overall it was entertaining and suspensful. The villain was under utlized as my husband pointed out, but still played well by Christoph Waltz. I don't have to tell you that Daniel Craig still plays an excellent James Bond. For the James Bond fanatics and action movie goers, you won't be disappointed.
