    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      In the Ian Fleming James Bond stories, Hannes Oberhauser, who is the father of this movie's Franz Oberhauser (Christoph Waltz), was a skiing and climbing instructor who taught Bond while he was at Fettes College in Edinburgh, Scotland. In Fleming's "Octopussy" (1966) short story, Bond says of him: "He taught me to ski before the war, when I was in my teens. He was something of a wonderful man. He was something of a father to me at a time when I happened to need one."
    • Goofs
      In the fight scene on the train, a large sliding door is opened in what appears to be a carriage with parcels and train stock. However, in several outside shots of the train, all the carriages are passenger carriages with no sliding doors.

      Yet there is an outside shot of the train at 1:25:49 that shows that the last car of the train is indeed a cargo car. There is a single window towards the front of the car and a large sliding door towards the rear.

      Mr. White: You're a kite dancing in a hurricane, Mr Bond.

    • Crazy credits
      The gunbarrel sequence has returned to the start of the movie.
    • Alternate versions
      In August 2015, Columbia submitted the film to the BBFC in the UK for advice on whether the film would receive a 12A rating upon a formal submission. The BBFC informed the filmmakers that cuts would be required in two scenes before a 12A rating, instead of an uncut 15, could be obtained. These were made prior to formal submission and it was duly passed at 12A with no further changes. Reductions to "strong bloody (injury) detail" were made in the following two scenes:
      • The eye gouging now only shows an establishing shot of the thumbs being inserted, then cuts to a counter-shot from behind the victim's head when the slightly bloody thumbs emerge. The uncut version showed this all from the front, including the aftermath.
      • The suicide now takes place off-screen and with reduced detail. The uncut version showed the man putting the gun under his chin and firing with a spray of bloody mist, and two subsequent shots showed brain tissue hanging down from the back of his head.
      These cuts persist in all worldwide versions of the film.

    Mediocre and overbudgeted !
    Despite an initial action scene full of CGI that you can also experience in the trailer, this movie hasn't got too much to offer.

    The main problem is the bad script and dialogs and the pretentious style which tries to keep the tradition of older Bond films incorporating some not-so-witty and cliché humor and ludicrous action sequences with nothing new to offer. Planes, helicopters, cars...Well we've seen it all before and in much better executions.

    Also Blofeld (or should I say BLOWfeld), despite the fact he is the King of all previous villains, seems quite harmless.

    Casino Royale (2006) is far more entertaining (I've watched it again recently) and engaging. Spectre is "Meh!" in almost every department including (unfortunately) the ladies.

    Thomas Newman who serves as the composer of the film, is proved to be a bad decision too. At the beginning he tries to revive the good-old 007 theme in almost every scene and the outcome is sub-par to say the least. Later he replaces the music with the same note again and again (da-da-da-da-da-da-da). David Arnold did a great job in C.R. and should have been the composer in this too (although I doubt that he could save this movie).

    And what's the deal with this lame song? Unsuitable for a Bond movie or any movie out there. Same goes for the same-o same-o intro sequence. The combination of these 2 makes it look like it was made by Liberace.

    Overall: The whole movie is pale like the Pale King it mentions.

    FAQ16

    • How could Blofeld say that Hannes raised/trained James Bond in this movie? I thought it was Kincade from Skyfall.
    • Why do they insist on calling Max Denbigh "C"?
    • What does SPECTRE mean?
