Hopefully this one is better than the last. The last one was so boring.

"EON Productions, MGM, Sony Pictures and Capitol Records have posted Sam Smith's "The Writing's on the Wall" music video, the official theme song for the upcoming twenty-fourth James Bond film "Spectre". The video, which includes clips from the film, can be seen below."
I am personally not digging it at all...it's too slow for my taste. I liked the more upbeat style of of music like "Goldeneye" and "Die Another Day" more....even "Skyfall", which is slower paced than those two songs, is a much better song than this new one here. This was a bad musical decision IMO by MGM/Sony/Capitol Records...especially for a James Bond opening theme song.

Just 3 days away from the UK release, reviews have been positive mostly because of the action scenes. Currently sitting at 82% from 31 reviews on RT.

We can normally measure a Bond film by the quality of its villain, and Austrian double Oscar-winner Waltz certainly gives good evil, spritzing up Oberhauser with a light fizz of mirth and mischief. But he is hampered by a script which fails to make his long-standing grudge against Bond plausible, and provides zero motives for his power-hungry schemes. His big revelation in the final half hour will come as no great shock to anyone even vaguely familiar with the early 007 films. It feels like the filmmakers have been bluffing a great poker hand for two hours before throwing down a pair of threes.
In pure action adventure terms, Spectre delivers the goods, with plenty of revved-up supercar porn and several kinetic high-speed chase sequences on road, river and snowy mountain slope. Thomas Newman's busy score amps up the pulse-racing bombast, smartly invoking operatic melodrama in Rome and sinewy Arabic folk music in Morocco. Sam Smith's flimsy theme song is a weak entry in the canon of 007 classics, but admittedly it sounds better blasting out of huge cinematic speakers as Daniel Kleinman's gorgeous, gothic title credits billow across the screen. Spectre contains enough dazzle and derring-do to keep the Bond brand afloat, but not enough to make it a game-changing reboot in the manner of Skyfall. Two steps forward, one step back.

Skyfall was truly the BEST Bond movie in years...and certainly the best Daniel Craig movie as James Bond.
Let's see how good this one compares on November 4th. I already got my IMAX ticket for that day...I hope I am not disappointed.

IGN is a trusted source for reviews?
I thought most people accepted that they aren't.
The belief is that they aren't overly critical of video games because they don't want to bite the hand that feeds them future content.
8.5/10 doesn't sound like a bad rating at all.

At least the 8.5 review gives hope that there isn't too much water.

Stephen wants to know why anyone would give James Bond another car since he's constantly wrecking them. But Daniel Craig reveals that "Spectre" actually addresses that very issue.

The opening scene is fantastic with an amazing soundtrack. The first half is pretty good, but the second half just drags. This was the worst of the 4 Craig films sadly.

The new James Bond movie is a bit of a disjointed mess, though Daniel Craig has got the posing down pat and stuff blew up real good, so I guess it's decent. But why, why does it need to be two and a half hours long!?
(I would like one of those bulletproof sprtscars he had, though.)

Not sure how Skyfall got such high ratings. I thought it was one of the slowest and dullest Bond films.

Respectfully disagree. The theme song for Skyfall was pretty much the only thing good about it.Scorpionsy wrote: ↑Skyfall was truly the BEST Bond movie in years...and certainly the best Daniel Craig movie as James Bond.

Watched the movie today, same thought on reviews from 680 news and MrDisco. Starts off with a bang and then the mid part was just painfully slow. Disjointed, muddy, very faint ties to previous films, not much substance. The villain didn't even have much screen time lol.
I should rewatch Casino Royale

Wife and I are both long time Bond fans and have watched all 4 of the recent Daniel Craig Bond movies.
Honestly first 2 was so so, Skyfall was when it was starting to be interesting, great opening, probably one of the best song all the bond films, pretty action packed, great acting from the cast and awesome cinematography.
Spectra seems to lack all the above. Yes, opening was good so I was really thinking may be rest will be as great but it was a let down from that. Seems like they were trying to tie the film to the rest of the series too much and I don't know what Daniel was going for but both wife and I noticed he just look so uninterested in the hold film.
All it all, Skyfall was up there with the best and Spectra is probably one of the worst in my books. I hope may be the next Bond actor / Studio would be able to bring some life back into it.
