This chickified review of the film has given me enough basis to skip it.

Because women are particularly beguiling when viewed from behind, the camera loves to follow them: Anyone who’s watched James Stewart’s lovesick detective trailing Kim Novak, a platinum dream poured into a pale gray flannel hourglass, understands the voyeurism at the heart of Vertigo. With Spectre — the 24th James Bond picture and the fourth and probably final one to feature Daniel Craig as 007 — director Sam Mendes takes a tip, perhaps unwittingly, from Hitchcock, as well as from Orson Welles’s Touch of Evil: The picture opens in Mexico City with a regal, ambitious, Wellesian tracking shot that begins in the midst of a Day of the Dead parade and eventually finds its way to Craig’s Bond, standing in the crowd.
He’s wearing a holiday-appropriate costume, a sexy-threatening skull mask and a black topcoat with a silkscreened skeleton’s spine winding up the back. There’s a masked beauty on his arm, but who’s looking at her? The camera trails the couple as they trek through the reveling masses, and it’s impossible to take your eyes off that spine, a sensuous, rippling, imaginary x-ray of the man beneath. Why, oh why, don’t real 3-D glasses — the ones advertised in the backs of comic books and sold to young boys hoping to see through women’s clothes — actually exist?
We don’t really need to see through Daniel Craig’s clothes, because eventually he does take at least some of them off. But dressed or un-, he’s the chief pleasure to be had in Spectre, along with the joys of gazing at the feral-flower beauty of Léa Seydoux (as Madeleine Swann, the headstrong psychologist Bond falls for), Monica Bellucci (who appears only briefly, as an Italian widow in a merry widow) and the radiant charmer Naomie Harris (who again plays MI6 administrative assistant Miss Moneypenny, although like most administrative assistants, she’s sorely underappreciated and given only unimportant things to do)...
with lead in paragraphs like that, why continue?
What a bizarre review
I guess Stephie wants to be Bond.
In a weird chikified way LOL
