I've been on a somewhat of a James Bond kick lately. Those who know me know I'm a huge James Bond fan and I've recently acquired a James Bond boxset boasting all films (with the exception of "Never Say Never Again" and you know why) up until this upcoming release "No Time To Die". I've been a James Bond fan for a long time, longer than I can remember anyway but long enough for me to know who my favorite Bond is (Roger Moore) and to get the flavor of each Bond. Now we're in the Craig Era and just like the previous Bond he's had his fair share of duds namely "Quantum Of Solace" and more recently "Spectre". While "Quantum Of Solace" had issues because of the writer's strike "Spectre" had no such issues working against it and with a powerhouse of an actor such as Christoph Waltz playing returning villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld, this was going to be a slamdunk. Sadly, the movie didn't blow anyone's mind and while it did good at the box office, fans were not impressed.
I had fun with "Spectre" but with a cliche' twist of Bond & Blofeld being "brothers" and the easiest escape in Bond history, "Spectre" goes down as being an unfortunate botch in this new series of films. That's where I come along and I posit the notion of What if "Spectre" was good? No, like really good. What if I can do it better? Let's dive in and see what we see, shall we?
