Spectre: Trailer, certificate and where to watch
Daniel Craig's penultimate outing as Bond, with Christoph Waltz as Blofeld Certificate: 12 Skyfall was a very difficult act to follow and Spectre was, as it were, given the slip. It has the same director (Sam Mendes), the same Bond (Daniel Craig), and some genuinely stirring action scenes, but one overwhelming disappointment in Christoph Waltz's underwhelming Blofeld - Waltz never seems to grasp the importance of being Ernst. On the other hand, maybe it's the fault of the script, in particular a sub-plot preposterous even by 007 standards, which reveals Blofeld to be Bond's foster brother. Mendes himself has acknowledged that the writing process was 'rushed'. On the plus side, the theme song (Sam Smith's Writing's On The Wall) took home an Oscar (Adele did the same for Skyfall) and the action scenes really do look impressive. That's one thing Bond nearly always gets right - they did have a budget somewhere close to $300 million to do it in this case but, even so... (148 minutes)

14 Scenes That Honestly Kinda Ruined An Entire Movie
Recently, u/jessym1m1 asked r/moviecritic, "What scenes ruined the whole movie for you?" And we thought we'd share some of the best responses: 1. " Twilight is cheesy from beginning to end, but the scene with them playing baseball had me dying laughing." Summit Entertainment 2. "Blofeld being Bond's foster brother in Spectre. Other than that I quite liked the film (I know I'm in the minority)." 3. "I wouldn't say it ruined the whole movie for me but in Silence of the Lambs, when Starling is searching the first victim's room, she finds some semi dirty pictures in the girl's jewel box. She just leaves them out for the girl's poor grieving father to find. She could have at least put them back where she found them." 4. "Talia al Ghul's death scene in The Dark Knight Rises." Warner Bros. Pictures – gordonwiththecrowbar "I literally laughed out loud at how absurdly bad her death scene was." – rtwise 5. " The Mummy Returns: the reveal of the scorpion kings horrible CGI with the rocks signature eyebrow raise lmao. I can't take it seriously." Universal Pictures 6. " Gladiator 2 when the sharks were in the Colosseum. I'm all for a cheesy sequel (I love every Jurassic Park /World), but that took the stupid cake for me." Paramount Pictures 7. "The two goofballs in Prometheus playing around with the little aliens things." 20th Century Studios 8. "In one of the Hobbit films, Legolas' runs upwards on falling bricks as though they were stairs and I hate it. I know Legolas defies physics at other times but it just seems so unnecessary." 9. "Indiana Jones, nuclear bomb, refrigerator. I don't need to say more." 10. " Spider-Man 3. When Toby Maguire goes to the jazz club I was immediately done. Not a great movie but that was when you realise what pile of crap it is." Sony Pictures Releasing 11. "Bond para-surfing down a huge wave in Die Another Day. Abysmal CGI, even for the period." 20th Century Fox 12. "Thor getting a train direct from Charing Cross to Greenwich. Utter bullshit, ruined the film for me." 13. Star Wars: The Last Jedi – That scene, the Mary Leia Poppins scene! Gave up on any redeeming qualities of the sequel trilogy, of which there are none." 14. "The final scene of Wonder Woman absolutely ruined the whole thing for me. Totally on board until that."
