SPECTRE ECHO 1 HOP UP METAL ARCHIVE

Miss Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) is allowed to leave the office and be more involved than usual and Madeleine (Léa Seydoux), the Bond Girl, is appropriately sexy and capable of looking after herself. And who better to play the odious, ever present villain than the scene-eating Christoph Waltz.Īssisting Bond is Q (Ben Whishaw) – a creation of the cinema who was not present in any of the books – but instead of producing an array of dazzling gizmos the brainiac is more focused on nerdy keyboard warfare. His target is the ruthless head of SPECTRE, an international crime organisation – Blofeld (Fleming named him after Henry’s father). To the dismay of M (Ralph Fiennes), he is acting as a vigilante, on a personal mission that will evolve into a major crisis. He has been aided and abetted in this by director Sam Mendes who, if anything, has improved on his outstanding Skyfall (2012) with this latest outing, which, for all its blistering CGI, is imbued with a comforting retro feel.Ī brilliantly conceived and executed opening sequence finds Bond in Mexico City on the Day of the Dead. Sean Connery nailed the chain-smoking, borderline alcoholic, often morose character better than any of his successors, but Daniel Craig, with the appropriate ‘cold blue eyes’, has perfectly acclimatised Bond to the new age. I have had more than just a passing interest in the James Bond phenomenon since reading Ian Fleming’s 007 novels one after the other in the dim and distant.
