OO7 SPECTRE MOVIE CODE
On his return to London, Bond is indefinitely taken off field duty by the current M, who is in the midst of a power struggle with Max Denbigh (also known as the code name 'C', assigned to him by Bond), the head of the newly created Joint Intelligence Service, which consists of the recently merged MI5 and MI6. Bond's actions are revealed to be him working on the unofficial orders of the previous M, who told him that if she died, he was to kill Sciarra and attend his funeral. Bond follows and in the ensuing struggle he throws both Sciarra and the pilot out of the helicopter to their deaths, while in the process, stealing Sciarra's band ring, which has an octopus symbol on it. Bond gives chase to a criminal operative named Marco Sciarra, who survived the blast and, in an attempt to escape, boards a helicopter. In doing so, the building they are in explodes and collapses. The organisation's logo, an octopus, is also referenced in the official teaser poster.ĭuring the Day of the Dead festival in Mexico City, James Bond kills two men arranging to blow up a stadium, before shooting a briefcase containing their bomb. The film's title is derived from the criminal organisation SPECTRE, which was prominent during the original Bond films and several Ian Fleming novels. While M battles political forces to keep the secret service alive, Bond peels back the layers of deceit to reveal the terrible truth behind Spectre. In the film, a cryptic message from Bond’s past sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organization. It continues a story arc which started in Craig's first three films: Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, and Skyfall. The film was released in the UK on 26 October 2015, fifty years after release of Thunderball (1965), thirty years after release of A View to a Kill (1985), and twenty years after release of GoldenEye (1995), and worldwide on 6 November 2015 in regular and IMAX theatres. Like the previous film Skyfall, Spectre was written by John Logan, Neal Purvis and Robert Wade is directed by Sam Mendes and features Daniel Craig in his fourth performance as James Bond.
OO7 SPECTRE MOVIE SERIES
Spectre is the twenty-fourth film in the James Bond series produced by EON Productions. In fact, even with its occasional missteps, "Spectre" is strengthened by what comes next." You are a kite dancing in a hurricane, Mr. Does Christoph Waltz as the legendary adversary work? Absolutely. There's also the expected but equally cool moment that reveals Oberhauser has taken the alias of Stavro Blofeld, linking this corner of the Bond franchise to one of its key bad guys. Here, Bond uncovers another mysterious group known as Spectre, which links to all of his previous missions - and the loved ones he'd lost in the process - courtesy of the top dog, Franz Oberhauser, who is Bond's thought-to-be-dead adopted brother.Įtching slightly into farcical territory with the origins of his new opponent, the cloak-and-dagger elements slow the film down, but don't overshadow some of the great stunts and action set-pieces that keep you interested, particularly that opening one-take shot in Mexico City.

In "Spectre," Sam Mendes returned with Craig, to look further back into what made this Bond the agent we've come to know, love, and be scared of. Her last appearance in the franchise is one bubbling with a heartwarming chemistry between herself and Craig, making her one of the most memorable "Bond girls" to date. Most importantly though, "Skyfall" yet again tapped into the more human side of this damn-near unstoppable agent, and the relationship he had with Judi Dench's M. He gives us a take on the character that has earned its place in the same conversation as Connery, Brosnan, and company: Cool, calculated, and coated with that thin layer of comedic charm that all Bonds in their prime have delivered. Here, Craig is totally comfortable with the role and loving every second of it, leaving the days of uncertainty for this particular Bond in the dust. From an outstanding opening (and that boss cuff-straightening), a skin-freezing song, and a great villain in Javier Bardem's former MI6 agent, Silva, it's easily the most epic instalment of Craig's reign as Bond (other than "No Time To Die").
