Spectre (dir. Sam Mendes).
By the fourth go-round, James Bond often becomes bloated and goes through the motions as Spectre remixes all twenty-three films before it as it attempts to close the book on the previous three instead of evolving any of the secret agent’s storied mythos. It’s a competently made, gorgeously looking and executed adventure almost too focused on living up to its predecessor(s) to really entertain or pay off any of its unsubstantial story. After re-energizing the formula in Skyfall, Spectre feels so unexpectedly flat and altogether unspectacular.
