SPECTRE<\/strong>
\nColumbia Pictures<\/strong>
\nReviewed by: Harvey Karten for Shockya. Databased on Rotten Tomatoes.<\/strong>
\nGrade: C<\/strong>
\nDirector:\u00a0 Sam Mendes<\/strong>
\nWritten by: John Logan, Neal Purvis, Robert Wade<\/strong>
\nCast: Daniel Craig, Christoph Waltz, L\u00e9a Seydoux, Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw<\/strong>
\nScreened at: Regal E-Walk, NYC, 11\/2\/15<\/strong>
\nOpens:\u00a0 November 6, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

If visuals were all we look for\u2014and for some in the audience spectacle is all that counts\u2014\u201cSpectre,\u201d which could be subtitled \u201cSpectacle,\u201d would rate high.\u00a0 But even 007\u2014no, especially 007\u2014needs sharp dialogue.\u00a0 Who could criticize the gems of the past like, Customs Investigator: \u201cWhat is the purpose of your trip?\u201d\u00a0 Bond: \u201cPleasure.\u00a0 Is there any other?\u201d\u00a0 Or, \u201cShaken, not stirred.\u201d (By contract the current James Bond utters the same words, but where\u2019s the resonance?\u00a0 And where are the classy bits like showing 007 making a cappuccino in 45 second flat?<\/p>\n

And where are the gadgets?\u00a0 Two of \u2018em are shown here: a watch with almost supernatural powers, and a car that emits flames if being chased.\u00a0 This is no longer the old, great 007.<\/p>\n

And where is Sean Connery when we need him so much?<\/p>\n

All in all, \u201cSpectre\u201d is weak in the dialogue department, so-so in acting, by-the-numbers in plotting, and wonderful in visuals as lensed by Hoyte van Hoytema.\u00a0 In the director\u2019s chair Sam Mendes became the first to oversee two consecutive Bond films since John Glen directed \u201cThe Living Daylights\u201d and \u201cLicense to Kill\u201d in 1987 and 1989.<\/p>\n

The opening minutes are brilliant, giving the audience considerable anticipation for what would follow.\u00a0 A huge crowd has gathered in Mexico City to celebrate the Dead of the Dead, which takes place each year on November first and second to celebrate departed family members and looks like a combination of New Orleans Mardi Gras and a Halloween party in New York\u2019s Greenwich Village.\u00a0 Thousands of people line the streets leading to the Zocalo, giving Bond (Daniel Craig) the opportunity to run at top speed, shoving people aside in an attempt to catch one of the bad guys.\u00a0 007 seems more interested in nailing a criminal than in fulfilling the desires of the beautiful Lucia Sciarra (Monica Bellucci), who plays the widow of an assassin killed by Bond.\u00a0 The formula kicks in as Bond pursues the criminal, climaxing in a getaway chopper rather than in the bedroom with Lucia.<\/p>\n

All communication between Bond and his boss M (Ralph Fiennes) is dull, even when M forces Bond to stand down for causing an international incident when he was not authorized to act in Mexico.\u00a0 Although James is suspended he nonetheless is given an intravenous tracking device by Q (Ben Whishaw acting as the agency\u2019s quartermaster) to allow M and M\u2019s team to track the agent\u2019s whereabouts, but it takes more to stop 007, who absconds with the traditional Aston Martin and zips with it into Rome.\u00a0 (At this point we in the audience wonder where he carries his passports, how he packs his suits when he has only a small valise, how he is able to finance his day-to-day living or even keep clean-shaven.)<\/p>\n

The principal confrontation, of course, is surely not with M but rather with the psychopathic Franz Oberhauser (Christopher Waltz\u2014hands-down the best actor in the movie and sadly underutilized), whose thuggish right-hand man, Mr. Jinx (Dave Bautista) gouges a rival\u2019s eyeballs during an interview, then heads after Bond by car and by a train in Morocco but which looks suspiciously like the Orient Express.\u00a0 The train serves dinner and drinks to Bond and his new girl, Dr. Madeleine Swann (L\u00e9a Seydoux), a psychologist working in a private medical clinic in the Austrian Alps\u2014a woman who is the daughter of an assassin who, like all others of his ilk meets an unfortunate end.<\/p>\n

The aim of the organization known as Spectre is to launch a surveillance network which can hone in on any location without the need to set up hidden cameras or to send agents around wearing wires.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Somehow this super-sleuth machine threatens civilization, as information has replaced nuclear fission as the means to control the world.\u00a0 Perhaps the best use to which it can be put is to allow filmmakers to hone in on others in the profession around the world, leading folks like director Sam Mendes and writers John Logan, Neil Purvis and Robert Wade to revive the Bond series with resonant dialogue, surprises here and there instead of formula, and actors with the charisma of a Sean Connery.<\/p>\n

Rated PG-13.\u00a0 148 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n
