Spectre

I was among the first in Finland to see this, and I saw it a week ahead of most of the world. But, to do so, I had to not sleep for a night, due to the fact that the screening was at seven minutes past midnight. While I was glad to see it, waking up at 3 PM just now, was pretty embaressing.

But this is a rewiev, not my autobiography, so lets get on with it! 

Spectre opens with a great action piece with bond having gone rogue again. After the great yet somewhat nightmarish title-song by Sam Smith, wich leads to a very good opening act. We get nods to stuff, intresting plotlines, an explonation to how Bond ot his Aston Martin in Skyfall. All very good stuff, but by the second act, the movie turns into a rushed collection of barely connected scenes made with the sole purpuose of more action set-pieces. And thats not even half of Spectres problems; Bond is much closer to the Roger Moore, goofy; Bond with an endless supply of quips and jokes. And alot of the elements seen in the trailers are wasted, underused or just bad. And some thigs happen only because they have to, and because they are things that were in the original movies. 

Even the Aston Martin DB10 is underused and extremely unintresting, partially because of the way its used. it only really has one scene, and in it, its placed in a parking lot with 53 other supercars, all of wich look exactly the same. 

There is however alot to see in this film, Q is back, and hes used extremely well, even getting his own actionscenes. Other returning characters are; Gareth Mallory, or M, Miss Moneypenny and for a few moments, Mr White, remember him? of course you dont, but he is important, for whatever reason. And then theres the big guy! We all know who he is, and what he is. Still the movie tries to hide this for the first hour and a half. And if you dont know, I wont spoil it. 

While not the best of the reboot-series, it also isnt the worst. so if you liked skyfalls look and atmospere, but preferred the stories of Casino Royale, but wished for a more human bond, then a) Why? and b) then this movie is for you! go see it if all this didnt out you off, its not the  worst movie to see right now.
