Speaking of the finale, the film is so lazy that it both starts and ends with action scenes involving helicopters.Įverything in Spectre is lazy. Apparently Bond now has the ability to blow up enemy bases and take down helicopters with nothing more than a single clip of ammunition. In the finale, Bond is able to duplicate his gunslinging success by shooting down an airborne helicopter from a boat with his Walther PPK. There’s a difference between ‘cool super-spy effortlessness’ and ‘lazily staging an action scene’. A handful of gunshots and Bond is able to destroy the entire base. There is so little effort made in this escape. Bond pauses and watches the chain reaction unfold as a massive fireball engulfs the entire facility. As they ascend a staircase, multiple explosions ensue. Bond fires a couple of bullets into a fuel tank and continues towards a helipad to make his escape. Bond as his lovely accomplice are trying to shoot their way out of SPECTRE’s super secret lair. There’s a moment towards the end of Spectre which seemed to encapsulate the laziness of this latest Bond outing.

I contend that Spectre may very well be the worst Bond movie ever made. It had all the elements of a 007 outing: action, espionage, scenic locations, beautiful women. A lazy, lifeless, sloppily put together excuse for a 007 outing. Let’s just put it out there: Spectre was terrible. The next Bond film, No Time to Die, was released in 2021, with Craig reprising his role for the final time and Cary Joji Fukunaga as director.Sweet, sweet hyperbole.
