Movie Review: Spectre 007 ~ Directed by Sam Mendes

Ah, James Bond. Always impeccable despite explosions, vicious fist fights, car chases, helicopter hi-jinks or speedboat escapes. Weather changes are little challenge for this dashing superhero without a cape. Racing from country to country to save the world from Spectre, the digital organization that threatens to unite the world by computer and satellite. Q, in the persona of an adorable computer geek, does the digital saving of the world. Did I forget to mention beautiful women that dangled from Mr. Bond’s arm until the next one? They didn’t seem quite so plentiful in this movie. One women, Léa Seydoux as Dr. Swann, won Mr. Bond’s heart. The grand musical score, another variation on the James Bond theme, held the tension throughout the movie, sliding into romance gently and as dramatically back to the chase. A bit long, but fun and good to see that Mr. Bond has not lost his touch - just ask the ladies.
