A large majority of James Bond movie fanatics claimed that Spectre was the worst James Bond movie in 30 years. Many factors contributed to the fact that Spectre did not live up to its expectations. First things first, the anticipated opening sequence. The way this sequence was put together not only emphasizes the fact that this movie will be Daniel Craig’s last Bond movie by bringing up flashbacks from all three of Craig’s movies, Quantum of Solace, Casino Royale and Skyfall, but it warned the viewer that this movie would be a movie summing up the three previous movies meaning it would be failingly reenacting very similar scenes from the previous, record-breaking films. Also in the opening scene they showed flashbacks of popular characters, such as the beloved Judi Dench (M), Eva Green (Vesper Lynd- Quantum of Solace) and Javier Bardem (Silva-Skyfall).

Second, the dialogue. The conversations this time around were scarce, short, choppy, and portrayed the characters as being in distress with less energy and passion that previous Bond movies have had.

Third, this movie was quite lengthy and required more than a large bucket of popcorn. The plot was lagged along and honestly the core of the plot could have been shown in a ten minute short movie. The stubborn attitude of Bond was definitely shown in this movie which became quite excessive after an hour. Although it was only five minutes longer than Skyfall, the plot was so slow-moving that it felt like a day passed by when you left the theater.

Fourth, the classic scene of Bond walking away from explosions behind him was unfortunately, almost copied and pasted from the previous movie, Skyfall.

The Bond girl in this movie was not only just giving Bond a hard time, but distracted him from reaching his goal which he never achieved because of their love affair. Not only that, but almost the entire cast ended up bluffing.

In conclusion, the entire movie was just a waste of money and considering the $2.4 million they spent they could have done more than showing everyone that this movie was offering the same things that all the previous movies did better.
