Yep, I’ve read two reviews of the latest James Bond movie — SPECTRE and both say that this is just a Mission Impossible rip-off, with Daniel Craig simply coasting in his role.
Many are predicting that this will be his last James Bond movie.
Skyfall was an exciting movie. Spectre was just a bunch of disjointed fight scenes and things being blown up strung along for a couple of hours. Craig did not seem to be in the role wholeheartedly. I’m still trying to figure out the ending—he gets the blond and they stay together forever, or is that just a tease for the next Bond movie-—”And Baby Makes 3”?
I think I heard he has said “never again” to the James Bond role, which probably means we will be subjected to a remake of Never Say Never Again in about 15 years.
I haven’t seen the latest installment of either, but MI Ghost Protocol was my favorite of either series. The scenes on the Dubai Tower alone made it worth the price of admission, and I’m amazed at Cruise doing his own stunts for that. Just watching it on my TV is more than enough for me.
