It’s Sequel
Month
Ah James
Bond, it’s been around for so long that it’s a part of British Culture but I
have a dark secret. Skyfall was my first Bond and even now, over 2 years after
my review of Skyfall, I’ve only watched the Craig movies in full. I’ve caught
snippets of the other movies whilst on television but I’m usually not hovering
around long enough to see it entirely.
But yes,
I’ve seen Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace now, if you want my thoughts,
they’re on my Facebook page. But it’s interesting leading into Spectre, the one
that tries to connect them all.
Made on a
spectacularly high $250m budget, the movie made over $800m, the second highest
bond gross but for the movie immediately after Skyfall’s $1bn performance.
Whilst it was at least successful commercially, critics were not as kind to
this one, with a 64% Rotten Tomatoes rating compared to Skyfall’s 93%. Is that
fair? Well here are my thoughts
