And here in comes the wrestler turned actor Dave Bautista as the mountain of a man Mr. But the highlight of this Bond film has to be its action sequences, that though limited do feature enough adrenaline pumping scenes to make it appreciable. Andrew Scott who thrilled us in the 'Sherlock' series is yet again at his evil best, as he perfectly embodies the character of C, who is bent on scrapping the '00' programme. On the other hand Lea Seydoux as Madeleine Swann is much better than Olga Kurylenko from QUANTUM OF SOLACE and Berenice Marlohe from SKYFALL, however in comparison to Eva Green's character in CASINO ROYALE, Seydoux who has a much more limited role pales despite her convincing performance. However his power hungry, conniving yet charmingly suave mannerism does make him a bit intimidating, but it does leave the viewer wanting more intellectual and physical confrontations between the two. Christopher Walts as Bond's arch nemesis Blofeld does not come across as a fearful menacing character when compared to the one played by Javier Bardem in the previous film SKYFALL. While to a viewer who has followed the series, this diversion from the carefree, no strings attached Bond character, may appear a bit unconventional, but Craig's rough, brooding and intense Bond who despite narrowly escaping from a potentially life threatening situation remains composed is a refreshing take on the character. ![]() Unlike the Bond films of the days gone by, Craig's Bond seems more attuned to his feelings developing attachments to those around him. Right from the onset SPECTRE much like the earlier Bond films that feature Craig as the main protagonist focuses more on the interpersonal relationship that his character has developed over the years. As Bond ventures towards the heart of SPECTRE, he learns a chilling connection between himself and the enemy he seeks. As the daughter of the assassin, she understands Bond in a way most others cannot. Bond covertly enlists Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) and Q (Ben Whishaw) to help him seek out Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux), the daughter of his old nemesis Mr White (Jesper Christensen), who may hold the clue to untangling the web of SPECTRE. Meanwhile back in London, Max Denbigh (Andrew Scott), the new head of the Centre of National Security, questions Bond's actions and challenges the relevance of MI6 led by M (Ralph Fiennes). Bond infiltrates a secret meeting and uncovers the existence of the sinister organization known as SPECTRE. SPECTRE starts off with a cryptic message from the past that sends Bond (Daniel Craig) on a rogue mission to Mexico City, where he meets Lucia (Monica Bellucci), the beautiful and forbidden widow of an infamous criminal. But will this Bond film withstand the litmus test is the question of the hour. Now add to this the inclusion of actor par excellence Christopher Waltz, Lea Seydoux, Monica Bellucci and wrestler turned actor Dave Bautista not forgetting the ever impressive Andrew Scott who thrilled us with his character in the 'Sherlock' series. SPECTRE, the 24th film in one of the longest running series 'Bond' hits screens today, the film that is the costliest one till date in the series yet again features Daniel Craig as the suave, gun totting, gentleman James Bond. Look for it on The Fox Movie Network as it gets shown there often.Spectre (English) Review & Review Rating But, bottom line is I liked this when I saw it in 1977 and it is still fun to watch.

Culp and Young are recruited by a beautiful woman whose brother has recently undergone a personality change after doing some archeological investigations on his English country estate. Though in this film, Young basically sleep walks through the movie. A sad loss of a fine comedic actor who usually didnt get the girl but did get all the best lines. Gig Young was at the end of his carreer and shortly following this outing, his life as well. A criminologist who specializes in the occult and battling evil. A slightly ridiculous plot only saved by the talented Robert Culp who plays it straight down the line. Watson, bring them forward 100 years and instead of crime, have them battle spiritual evil. Take the basis of Sherlock Holmes and Dr.
