Spectre

Spectre is a 2015 British-American spy film and the twenty-fourth in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions. The film is the fourth to star Daniel Craig as fictional MI6 agent James Bond and features Christoph Waltz as Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the villain, and Ralph Fiennes as M. It was directed by Sam Mendes and written by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, Jez Butterworth and John Logan and features the theme song "Writing's on the Wall", written and performed by Sam Smith. It was the final Bond film to be theatrically distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing under its Columbia Pictures label.

Plot
A cryptic message from the past leads James Bond (Daniel Craig) to Mexico City and Rome, where he meets the beautiful widow (Monica Bellucci) of an infamous criminal. After infiltrating a secret meeting, 007 uncovers the existence of the sinister organization SPECTRE. Needing the help of the daughter of an old nemesis, he embarks on a mission to find her. As Bond ventures toward the heart of SPECTRE, he discovers a chilling connection between himself and the enemy (Christoph Waltz) he seeks.

Why The Writing's On The Wall

 * 1) The whole climax at the old MI6 HQ, with Bond, M, and Madeline escaping Blofeld's trap. Bond then pursues Blofeld to London bridge but decides to spare him.
 * 2) Thomas Newman's score is excellent just like his score for Skyfall. He deservedly became the second composer to get nominated for Best Original Score, following Marvin Hamlisch for The Spy Who Loved Me.
 * 3) * Sam Smith's glorious song really helps tell the story.
 * 4) The very end, Bond drives off with Swann, showing that for a couple of years, they could relax.
 * 5) Funny moments here and there:
 * 6) * The fight on the train between Bond and Mr. Hinx, where the latter curses just before he's about to be killed.
 * 7) *Bond having a hard time figuring out how to use operate the gadgets in the Aston Martin DB10.
 * 8) *"Isn't that what M stands for...moron!"
 * 9) *"And now we know what C stands for...careless!"
 * 10) *"Do me a favor, will you? Throw that down the toilet. Cut out the middleman."
 * 11) Just like Skyfall, Sam Mendes' directing is fantastic that it feels good for that.
 * 12) Daniel Craig's penultimate performance as James Bond is one of the major fantastic roles in the series.
 * 13) The drill scene is almost as brutal as the torture scene in Casino Royale. But, at least this time, Bond managed to escape and get out without needing to be hospitalized.
 * 14) Learning that C (Max Denbigh) was revealed to be working for SPECTRE is a great twist. It certainly explains why he taunted M so much in the movie. He was clearly the secondary antagonist all this time!
 * 15) Awesome cinematography.
 * 16) It's nice to see Blofeld come back in an official Bond film after such a long time.
 * 17) Decent references to some past Bond films.
 * 18) Some of the new characters, like Madeleine Swann and Lucia Sciarra are likable.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The pacing is a bit slow at times.
 * 2) Blofeld's appearence with his cut eye might be a bit disturbing to some.
 * 3) The scene where Mr. Hinx gouges a man's eyes, was horrific and disgusting, especially for a PG-13 movie.
 * 4) Mr. White only appears for one scene before he commits suicide.
 * 5) Similar to BQ#4, Bond and C only share one scene together and they speak to each other for approximately one minute. After this, M is the one who deals with C, which is very unusual for a Bond film. This is because given the fact that C is the second one in line to the film's main villain (Blofeld), you would expect that Bond would be the one to confront C and dispatch him.
 * 6) Continuing from the previous point, C caught the idiot ball in his struggle with M, which resulted in the former's death. M's goal was to shut down the launch of the Nine Eyes program and arrest C. But when he held him at gunpoint, C decided to try and steal the gun from M, causing it to go off. This led to the glass railing and ceiling breaking. All of this caused C to lose his balance and fall right off the edge to his death. Yep, it was his failure to comply with M, that got him killed!
 * 7) Although the soundtrack by Thomas Newman is well-done as mentioned above, it does re-hash some music from Skyfall. For example, the song that plays over the helicopter fight in this film, is the exact same song that was played during the motorcycle sequence in Skyfall.
