He’s central to the plot this time as opposed to merely being a side character and the third act hinges on his abilities. (At one point, Bond pushes Q to the point that he says, “I really, really hate you right now.”) Q is also the unsung hero of the film. But he still has satisfying exchanges with Bond as they both grate each other’s nerves. He’s more timid and soft-spoken than Desmond Llewelyn and John Cleese were in the role. So it took me a while to warm up to Whishaw’s version of the character. I haven’t seen the first three Daniel Craig Bond films since they came out and didn’t have time to review them before seeing Spectre. Ben Whishaw puts an interesting spin on the character Q I’m glad she returns in No Time to Die, making her relationship with Bond one of the few that lasts for more than one film. Then she gets pulled back into it as she and Bond fall in love. White, she hates the lives of spies and villains and has tried to escape from that whole scene. She seems like a damsel in distress at first but shows that she can hold her own. Lea Seydoux is one of my favorite Bond girls Denbigh makes for a good secondary villain even though he looks like an emaciated Mark Ruffalo. Max Denbigh (Andrew Scott), who Bond nicknames C, pushes through legislation that will allow the world governments to watch everyone all the time, even the double 0’s. The plot is topical, raising questions on how much right the government has to spy on its citizens. (“You’re a kite dancing in a hurricane, Mr. He gets the second-best line of dialogue in the film.
He arguably redeems himself by turning against the Spectre organization, helping Bond find Blofeld, and protecting his daughter. White (Jesper Christensen) appears in Spectre as well. The strong performances in Spectre really make the film and are a large part of why it’s worth revisiting. I’m excited to see his return in No Time to Die. I’m so glad he can be part of Bond’s adventures again. The author of all your pain.”) The character Blofeld was tied up in legal red tape for years. Waltz’s Blofeld gets some of the best dialogue in the entire series. He has the sinister sophistication of a good Bond villain. Christoph Waltz gives an amazing performance as the recurring villain. The character had not been seen on screen since the 70’s (or the early 80’s if you count Never Say Never Again). Spectre has two of the best explosions in the series. In the latest entry in the series, the opening scene will focus on a character other than Bond. Director Cary Fukunaga has revealed that there will be no opening stunt for No Time to Die which bums me out. The costumes are beautiful and seeing all of them together creates an awesome effect. The first half of the scene is one continuous shot. I highly recommend the documentary about the making of this scene that is on the Blu-ray. Using that many actors is a rarity in an age where everything is done with greenscreen and digital effects. Director Sam Mendes used 1500 extras to bring to life the Day of the Dead festival scene in Mexico. Spectre has the most beautiful opening scene in the entire Bond series. It’s got a great villain, some beautiful cinematography, good performances all around, some fun action scenes, and plenty of suspense.
This is one of the under-loved Bond films and I’m honestly not sure why.
If you haven’t seen it yet, you may want to stop here. The pre-credits scene of For Your Eyes Only features Roger Moore's 007 confronting a bald, cat-petting villain that is clearly intended to be Blofeld but is never technically identified as such, physically portrayed by John Hollis and voiced by Robert Rietty. Bond uses a helicopter to lift the villain's wheelchair into the air before dropping him down a chimney stack to his death. This was meant to dispose of the character of Blofeld once and for all, as well as to sneakily insult McClory by writing off the character he claimed to have created in such a humiliating way.SPOILER warning: This post contains spoilers for Spectre. Because of this, Eon Productions decided to get rid of Blofeld. McClory claimed that he had created the character of Blofeld as well as the concept of SPECTRE, so these elements went into limbo for several years. After Diamonds Are Forever, a legal dispute took place between Eon Productions (the producers of the Bond films) and writer Kevin McClory over the copyrights to Thunderball.
