![]() Their opposing viewpoints act as a metaphor for the movie’s story. Max Denbigh (Andrew Scott), also called C, is a firm believer in electronic surveillance gathering and is finding ample support, from both the government and private benefactors, to replace people with technology. Instead his boss, the recently appointed M (Ralph Fiennes), wants him grounded because the seasoned spy’s extra curricular activities are only adding fuel to the fire of political powers anxious to slash and burn the Double O program that they view as antiquated.īattling bureaucracy, M attempts to defend the relevancy of their “boots on the ground” approach to intelligence gathering to the new director of the Centre of National Security. Unfortunately, this time he does not have authorization from MI6 for his endeavors. Overall: The whole movie is pale like the Pale King it mentions.Daniel Craig takes the James Bond character for another spin as he tracks down a mysterious organization called SPECTRE. The combination of these 2 makes it look like it was made by Liberace. Same goes for the same-o same-o intro sequence. And what's the deal with this lame song? Unsuitable for a Bond movie or any movie out there. and should have been the composer in this too (although I doubt that he could save this movie). Later he replaces the music with the same note again and again (da-da-da-da-da-da-da). At the beginning he tries to revive the good-old 007 theme in almost every scene and the outcome is sub-par to say the least. Thomas Newman who serves as the composer of the film, is proved to be a bad decision too. Spectre is "Meh!" in almost every department including (unfortunately) the ladies. Casino Royale (2006) is far more entertaining (I've watched it again recently) and engaging. Also Blofeld (or should I say BLOWfeld), despite the fact he is the King of all previous villains, seems quite harmless. Planes, helicopters, cars.Well we've seen it all before and in much better executions. The main problem is the bad script and dialogs and the pretentious style which tries to keep the tradition of older Bond films incorporating some not-so-witty and cliché humor and ludicrous action sequences with nothing new to offer. These cuts persist in all worldwide versions of the film.ĭespite an initial action scene full of CGI that you can also experience in the trailer, this movie hasn't got too much to offer. The uncut version showed the man putting the gun under his chin and firing with a spray of bloody mist, and two subsequent shots showed brain tissue hanging down from the back of his head. The suicide now takes place off-screen and with reduced detail.The uncut version showed this all from the front, including the aftermath. The eye gouging now only shows an establishing shot of the thumbs being inserted, then cuts to a counter-shot from behind the victim's head when the slightly bloody thumbs emerge.Reductions to "strong bloody (injury) detail" were made in the following two scenes: These were made prior to formal submission and it was duly passed at 12A with no further changes. The BBFC informed the filmmakers that cuts would be required in two scenes before a 12A rating, instead of an uncut 15, could be obtained. In August 2015, Columbia submitted the film to the BBFC in the UK for advice on whether the film would receive a 12A rating upon a formal submission.
