What do you get when you put Sherlock Holmes, HYDRA, and alcohol in one room? No you don’t get a bunch of drunk men; you get James Bond and his newest movie, “Spectre.” And frankly, that’s a whole lot more entertaining.

Let me get my surprising opinion out there now: “Spectre” was better than “Skyfall”. There, I said it. Now I know I’m going against the public opinion (I usually do), but no, I’m serious, “Spectre” is better. The action was bigger, and better, and yet still realistic. The fights were brutal and bloody, making even the toughest of men wince and cry. The stunts were out of this world (they were doing loops in a helicopter!) The characters were more fun, the agents of MI6 were entertaining rather than vein-bulging serious. Bond was still being Bond, if you know what I mean (you just killed her husband, man), but this time he actually falls in love. So overall, I loved this movie.

I only have two problems: first, the villain. You MUST watch at least two of the Daniel Craig collection before you watch this movie, otherwise it will be hard to follow some of the plotline. This movie is basically a wrap-up of that series, so of course it links everything back to those movies. Apparently, the villain of this movie is responsible for everything from the other three… which means he must also be the most cliche (scar + funny accent + cat = cliche villain).

The other problem is the fact that no one will treat this movie as a wrap-up. In my opinion, Bond should end here and another hero should take the stage. Otherwise, bad storytelling will take place to keep the franchise going. Make Bond Jr. or create 008, but for Bond’s sake, do not kill a perfect movie to keep a series going (I’m looking at you Terminator).

My grandfather who fell asleep several times while watching “Skyfall” will back me up when I say, “Spectre” is definitely not a snorefest.
