Ratings:3/5 Review By:Johnson Thomas Site:Mid-day

 The film, in effect, appears over plotted and a little too long-drawn with a flagging middle act and a neatly executed conclusion. This Bond is akin to an ageing Romeo striving to engage in young-man games...and falling flat just a little too often to be exciting!

 the story has long, loose threads, including Blofield linked to Bond's babyhood, plus references to murdered dads and lost loves. Literary allusions couldn't be heavier, 'Madeleine Swann' straight out of Proust, emphasising remembrance while debating detectives versus drones. Looking back too often loosens the ground under Bond's feet now - this could've been much tighter, as could be Waltz's mildly mincing Blofield.However, a few moans aside, Spectre's action still shakes and stirs, leaving you loving its oak and leather, champagne - and dynamite.

 Mendes cannot ever be as artless as that clunker, of course, and there is both sophistication and elegance to be found in Spectre -- whenever Hoytema gets to shoot exotic, tangerine-tinged top-shots of exotic cities like Tangiers, for example, or one great hand-to-hand fight on a train -- but these moments are few, far between and not fanciful enough.Even the Sam Smith song, Writing’s On The Wall, is a caterwauling falsetto more suited to this adorably geeky new Q than to 007 himself. If only that car-switch worked. ('How was it, M?' 'Long, James. Long.')

 In 1966, Kingsley Amis attributed the success of the Bond stories partly to what he called the “Fleming effect,” noting how Bond’s fantastic world, “as well as the temporary, local, fantastic elements,” are “‘bolted down’ to some sort of reality.” The Bond movies have always managed to tap into reality by switching on a camera, a connection to the material world that lingered no matter how far out the villains, their wild lairs and intrigues. The current Bond team is trying to keep the audience entertained with new tricks and gizmos while keeping it kind of real, which perhaps explains why this Bond sweats buckets, tears up and even bares his feelings. Craig is very good at selling Bond’s humanity, though in truth, what has always really turned us on isn’t 007’s humanity but the reverse.

Ratings:3/5 Review By:IANS Site:Zee News

 The film is more of a romance thriller than an espionage film, with a bloated plot at a meandering pace, without any real or semblance of reasoning. The pacing is leisured. The film slows down for beautiful cinematography as characters take their time to breathe their complexities on screen. Overall, ‘Spectre’ is a dazzling film, but it lacks the lustre and adrenaline rush of a 007 film from the bygone Cold War Era. The chutzpah and the aura are missing.

 The three primary characters: Bond, the Bond girl and the villain, come together in a tension-filled sequence. There are also never-ending, wearisome action stunts across snow-clad exotic terrains. By the time the climax arrives, Bond is seen running frantically and you frankly don’t care. This 007 is neither shaken nor stirred, but simply frozen in time. There is more entertainment to be found on Twitter on trending #SanskariJamesBond in which Mr Pahlaj Nihalani plays the unbeatable, joker of a villain.

 The visuals accompanying the Bond theme are mesmorising. They are erotic yet highly aesthetic #Spectre. Spectre depicts #JamesBond in a more humane light. Spectre is a treat for #JamesBond franchise. It works because of well etched characters and a compact screenplay
