![]() Sure, he cares about the safety of his friends and loved ones, but he also disrespects and disobeys authority. So, James Bond once again has to save the day. “ Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” - Proverbs 16:18 Some wine and champagne are consumed on screen, including the consumption of some hard liquor. ***SPOILER*** A character commits suicide (off-screen), and it is later replayed on video. Characters get tossed out of cars and trains, car chases (including a helicopter and plane) and explosions happen frequently, and we see multiple characters fall to their death. The most brutal and disturbing moments come when an assassin gouges out a man’s eyes and another has small needles drilled into his head as he screams and writhes in pain. One character has a bloody scar on one half of his face after an explosion. There is tons of gun play which includes some blood and some gruesome wounds. We see loads of characters go flying (literally)-sometimes with disastrous results. Of course, there is plenty of action violence, as there are multiple, brutal hand to hand combat scenes including broken bones and characters being nearly strangled to death. There is one crude term used for the male anatomy and God’s and Jesus’ names are abused twice each. The language is not as harsh as one may expect, as there are only three S-words, and a handful of other milder obscenities including h*ll, a**, and b**tard. A man is seen in an unmarried woman’s bed. There are a few moments of passionate kissing, and Bond nearly has sex with a third woman, but stops short after they begin to kiss. A woman is seen wearing stockings and a negligee, and other women wear low cut, form-fitting dresses. However, the scenes cut short once they begin to disrobe each other. Bond is seen shirtless a few times, and it is implied that he has sex with two different women. As expected, there is some sexual content on display with the opening title sequence being the most sensual, as lots of skin is on display, women are seen caressing a shirtless Bond, and private areas are obscured by shadows. Surprisingly enough, though, the objective content is not as bad as I expected and even bit lighter than the content contained within “Skyfall.” But this does not mean that this film is family-friendly. It is a good film, but is definitely a step or two below “Skyfall” in terms of production quality. Daniel Craig delivers a solid performance, but “Spectre” lacks originality and relies much too heavily on previous Bond material. The action sequences are well-done, and the art direction and props are well organized, adding much more realism to the film. The cinematography is the highlight of the film, as Hoyte van Hoytema guides us through the great peril Bond faces bringing us right into the action. Sam Mendes proves to be a solid director and the action sequences are nothing short of suspenseful. It struggles with a weak script and some of the casting choices are questionable, as the characters slowly developed. Thrills, chills, action, and loads of suspense fill this near 2½ hour film as Bond once again risks his life to prevent evil from overcoming the world. ![]() Of course, Bond cannot go without a female cohort, named Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux), who also has a form of connection to both sides of the story. After collecting a clue, Bond knows that the two assassins he killed had much planned for the future… but what?īond receives a cryptic message from his past which leads him on the trail to unveiling a secret organization. However, “M” ( Ralph Fiennes) suspends him for acting without explicit orders. James Bond.” Yes, ladies and gentlemen, James Bond ( Daniel Craig) is back in the latest installment of the hit franchise with “Spectre.” On unofficial business in Mexico, Bond gets himself in trouble right away after he narrowly escapes with his life and kills two assassins.
