This movie is somehow rewatchable despite its flaws Casino Royale and Skyfall are better easily though.

"Nobody does it better"......than dutchbondfan!!

Blofeld was a MAJOR letdown for me. This whole "Darth Vader" scenario (he's your father/brother/former roommate) just gets old. They did this with G.I. Joe with Duke and Cobra Commander too (and Baroness). Just a really bad move. Can we, for once, have a bad guy be a bad guy without bringing in "family matters". Blofeld it to be Bond's nemesis...not sibling. It just turned me completely off to the film.

I think this review is better than Spectre.

I would like to point out that Blofeld never says that he wants to kill Bond because of daddy issues, nor does he imply that he creates Spectre to target Bond. Blofeld kills his father because he has to be front and center, he refuses to play second fiddle. This sends him down the path of becoming the head of Spectre (where he clearly still needs to be number one) but happens to find Bond interfering in his organization's work. Blofeld says "A nice pattern developed, you interfered in my world so I destroyed yours" This line sums it all up. Bond was just an outside nuisance, not even on Blofeld's radar until the events of Casino Royale. Just felt the need to clarify considering people seem to always imply that Blofeld created Spectre just because he wants revenge for stealing his fathers affection. I'd also like to point out that Blofeld never tries to kill Bond alongside his father. Just saying.

I actually enjoyed this film. I get its got flaws but I don't find it as bad as people say it is

I really like Spectre. I feel that its unfairly judged by most Bond fans. I've heard people say it's worse than Quantum. I'm happy you are the first Bond youtuber who actually likes Spectre. Here's to No time to die being decent.

Hey bud. I remember watching your DR. NO review when it first came out. I just wanted to say that I'm a huge fan of your efforts. Keep up the good work brother

This young Q for some reason reminds me of Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock Holmes and other similarly quirky geeks in movies. Maybe it's just me.

25:55. Useless fact, but the Tokyo scenes are filmed in the Sony building in Shinagawa, Tokyo. For PlayStation fans, this is where many game ideas are born. I used to live across the street from the building in the background :)

When I walked out of the theater after seeing Spectre, I was convinced that I had just seen the last James Bond movie.

Want to give thanks to DutchBondFan. Just finished your recapping series and really enjoyed it, especially the introduction you made for each video with some interesting backstory for each film. Top notch! I also happened to agree with 99.9% of your opinions so that always helps. Thanks for some great 007 content!

The car-chase through (almost empty) Rome, the title-track, Madeleine Swan, the airplane-chase in Austria, the last third of the movie : BORING

Youre so right about the “C” joke. When i saw this, everyone in the cinema sighed in disappointment that it wasnt a more dirty C word 😂

The scene where Bond is interrogating the rat at gunpoint is hilarious!

Silva might relied on Spectre for resources, guns, and henchmen while doing the hacking for them in return.

Great review and great use of other Bond influencers reaction videos at the start. 👍👏🙂

I completely agree with your comments regarding the recycling of score from Skyfall. It is one of my favourite soundtracks and it is associated with so many scenes in Skyfall to the point I found it distracting when it was copied and pasted into Spectre. A subtle overture which linked the two would have been fine but what we were given was lazy.

Absolutely fantastic review series. Your passion and love for the series is great, plus the humorous observations are always a joy to watch.

I watched this movie in the theatre with my dad, when our new local theater opened. It was a great experience. Because my dad was a huge fan of Connery's Bond and we had a blast. :)

Absolutely love your reviews! Thank you for your efforts!

It’s all down hill after that great pre title sequence. The 3rd act is terrible

i really want to like this movie, but i just can't. It had a lot of potential, but they didn't use it. i feel like they should have just dropped the whole stepbrother and "author of all yo pain" thing. To me it seems too ridiculous that oberhauser would be so mad at his father giving attention to antoher guy, that he committed his whole life to tracking bond down and ruining his life. anyway, good review

Thanks for the well put together review. While I personally did not like this film, you helped me see some of the positives in it.

wow, these recaps are great. an hour felt like it went by in 20 minutes.

Everytime i watch SPECTRE i have high hopes and think i may love it this time..but im always disappointed. The pre-title sequence is good, the opening credits is good and then there are a few things throughout the movie I enjoy. Its not bad, but not good. Just decent I suppose

4:27, It's about time! You guys are the best Bond reviewers. I hope you two do a video together

Here's how I'd have rewritten Spectre: After QOS, using the information that Bond gets out of Greene, Quantum is dismantled by MI6 with most of its leadership being arrested or killed. However, Blofeld, being one of the Quantum agents who escaped along with Mr. White, rebuilds the organization into Spectre during the 6 year gap between QOS and Spectre. That would've made SO much more sense than the dumb, low-effort nonsense they went with. It would've even made the name "Spectre" make sense.

Great way of describing Swan: you could do her, but you might as well not.

Thank you for your review. I haven't seen Spectre due to all of the negative comments I've heard about it but after listening to you I have decided to give it a look. It was nice to hear a Bond fan's perspective. Just to add, this video was thorough, well thought out, seemed honest and presented well. Good job!

Do we think Rami Malek’ Safin in NTTD is the man who invaded Madeline’s house when she was younger?

An almost hour long video starring Jeroen? Yes please.

Everything that happens after Bond's torture is totally ridiculous and impossible, for any superhero universe. There were theories that everything that had happened took place in Bond's head during the torture and he's still tied to the chair, being tortured out of his mind.

“The Dead Speak!”

Another great review my friend you are very admired and appreciated for your hard work I bet you have alot of fans yourself so hang in there maybe just maybe someday you yourself will be casted in a bond film.

5:32 Spotted myself ;) Fantastic video again, Jeroen!

There's also "Tomorrow never dies" where Q walks Bond (in a deleted scene) past a Jaguar (the animal) in a crate identical to the one holding Bond's car.

You shold make a video with calvin talking about spectre and diamonds Calvin likes diamonds and hates spectre And you like spectre and hates diamonds

Very mixed film but with more positives than negatives. Love Waltz’s Blofeld and am very happy to see him back.

Your analysis of the title song is very exact 🙂

I consider Spectre up there along with Die Another Day - both movies with great potential that eventually fell flat and were executed so poorly due to bad writing... Spectre didn't have invisible cars though! Although i cannot really decide which of the two is worse, depends on what mood i am in

Great effort as always!!

He has a powerful weapon 😆

I've just finished watching all your movie recaps. Man you're great at this! Amazing reviews and I laughed my *ss off many times! I urge you to make your top 10 movie lost tough ;) Congrats!!

Great and well-placed reviews.

I clearly remember watching this in the theater about half way, looking at my watch to see when this movie would end. Pre-Title Sequence was incredible but that was about it for this movie.

I laughed out loud in the cinema when M said "..and now we know what C stands for". Then he said "careless" and I was a bit disappointed.

Great review! "...Cartoony..." (35:40) sums up how I feel about this movie. I personally felt this about a lot of the set pieces... the car chase, the plane chase, this train fight, Blofeld's character. It feels like there was a good movie with some really serious and tense moments, but my enjoyment kept getting interrupted by really silly or unrealistic things happening, or stunts that look cheap. I mean, I'm all for silly Bond stuff, but for me I find it doesn't mix with the more serious style.

Superb review as always - sad we won’t have another bond film from you for another 4/5 years...😐

Nice - agree with your overall assessment and most of your specific comments. Nice editing of clips as always

People give Spectre a hard time, but I actually enjoyed this film. They finally put the gunbarrel at the beginning and the pre-title sequence was great. Dave Bautista was a great henchman. I thought Christoph Waltz was good as Blofeld. The only criticism I have is the same as everybody else. Making Blofeld a relative of Bond was a horrible decision. I also thought that the title song was horrific. Otherwise, no complaints. It was nice to see Craig finally get a film that was a classic style Bond film

I recently bought the blu ray box set with all 24 bond movies so how much would it be for all 24 covers, or do I have to sign up to patrean to be able to buy them from you?

I'm surprised you didnt mention anything about the way he walks during the gunbarrel sequence. Swinging that gun in the background carelessly. The point of him hiding his right arm during it is to hide it from the guy that's trying to shoot him. Watch Vladimir Putin when he walks. Every now and again you'll see him walk with his right hand resting at his side. That so he could quickly grab his gun at a moment's notice, that's his KGB training kicking in. While I like the theme, his pacing is good, the final pose is Craig's best so far. That swinging of the gun carelessly really pisses me off. No well trained spy would ever do that

The opening scene where Bond climbs out a window gives me Diamonds are forever vibes

I like Spectre. The best scenes I can (and have) re-watched over and over again. The "climactic" ending is a total snooze, though, and I have the same issues with other plot points as most Bond fans. Despite that, I found the movie kept my interest from start to finish, which is rare.

The Spectre "octopus"only has seven tentacles

And don't even get me started on Charles grey lol

I would have been satisfied with the series ending right here. I thought it brought together a lot of elements to finish it. I love all your reviews DutchBondFan!

Barely ever comment on KZfaq videos, but the way you talk about Elvis is so funny 😂

Great breakdown! Not the same boring narration and theories

Fun fact: Lea Seydeux played one of the bad guys in Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol.

Great job #007 Dutch 😎 Mrs Bond and you in the cinema were 👌

"I swear the whole cinema was expecting a totally different c-word." LOL. That's exactly what I thought too.

Another excellent review as the song goes Nobody does it better

Spectre was awesome movie

Radiohead's take on making a bond theme is infinitely better than sam smiths whiny theme

Brilliant thank you. You should had released this on Christmas day it would had made my day. There wasn't anything else to watch.

Fantastic Recap 🔥👌🏻 a very late merry Christmas to y'all.

When Q mentioned cats, I thought the twist would be he was Blofeld all along!

yeah its good to see they retained some of the classic bond elements

Lots of call backs to previous Bond films. The fight on a train with the beefy henchman (From Russian with Love), Spectre being revealed (Dr No), the Octopus imagery (Octopussy), rebooting Blofeld (You Only Live Twice), a chase in a carnival (Thunderball).

17.30 you can see Norton motorcycle background at Q's laboratory. I hope that we'll see that in action in No Time to Die.

I feel like Casino Royal is Batman Begins and Skyfall is the Dark Knight! Maybe No Time To Die will be the Dark Knight Rises.

All Q proved is that Le Chiffre, Silva, Mr. White, all shook Sciarra's hand and got their DNA on the ring, so no they weren't working for Spectre. They were just business associates who may have had a common goal at some point.

I like that spectre pulled an Austin powers when bond and blofeld are brothers. Like Austin and dr evil

Please tell me where you got the piano writings on the wall at the end or did you make it your self

The train scene is lifted frame by frame from The Spy Who Loved Me.

Thank you soooo much!!!!

I adore Smith's song!

That's what I yelled in my head in the cinema. Where the hell did that plane come from?

I never actually saw Spectre. But after this review I HAVE to watch it!

Wait how did this not show up in my feed?! Ugh youtube

I like spectre but I would take Skyfall every other day

Spectre was a lot similar to Mission Impossible Rogue Nation. The premise is similar with M:I 5 having a similar issue surrounding the Impossible Mission Force (IMF). Both movies have scenes set in Austria and Morocco and a climax in London. Even Bond's MI6 allies start to resemble the main cast of the M:I Rogue Nation with Bond being Ethan Hunt, M being Alan Hunley and with elements of William Brandt, Q being Benji Dunn with elements Luther Stickell, Moneypenny being Ilsa Faust with Luther Stickell's ethnicity, Madeleine being Ilsa Faust with elements of Julia Meade-Hunt, and Tanner being William Brandt. The villains too are similar with Blofeld being Solomon Lane, Max Denbigh being MI6 Chief Atlee, Mr Hinx being the Bone Doctor, and the entire SPECTRE organization being one for the Syndicate. Both actually feature the villain behind bulletproof glass. Even the main villains are arrested as opposed to killed. My opinion on the Stepbrother thing is that it atleast adds depth to Blofeld, or else he would have been a run-of-the-mill villain like Kingsman 2's Poppy Adams. It also prevents him from feeling like a rehash of M:I 5's Solomon Lane, considering the huge amount of similarities between the two. I like the car chase scene in Rome as it didn't use poorly-handled shaky cam like Quantum of Solace, making it easier to tell what is going on. Writing on the Wall is an OK song since it is difficult to top Chris Cornell's You Know My Name. Despite Sam Smith's whiny voice, atleast it wasn't autotuned.

I loved this video. I think the same about the Bond girl in this movie.

i had a mouse in the house tonight. he ran into a wall, so i did the same as bond and busted the wall where he went into. no secret spectre room, but we now need a bunch of drywall work.

Everything after they get off the train in this movie is really cheesy and phony

This was the third Bond I saw in theatres, I was in grade 12, and I was very excited to see this, because I actually went to see it in the midnight premiere. I was literally the first person in line to enter the cinema, and I’ve always wanted to see a midnight premiere of James Bond I was also very excited, because I was so happy to see the return of the octopus and of Spectre. I was so happy to see the old nemesis back on screen and a new take. Also Sir Sam Mendez did a great job coming back. I’m happy he did. He did a good job in this film as well. Also, Mr. Hinks has to be one of the best modern villains ever. He is a tank like he was amazing, especially in the fight scene with bonds in the train and in the car chase earlier.

I will forever be baffled that Radiohead's Spectre song was not used for this film's title sequence. The sequence just feels like it was made with Radiohead's song in mind; it is just awkward with Writings on the Wall being played over it.

What is the score that you use for your intros?

The first half of this movie is absolutely thrilling and exciting. I genuinenly enjoyed every frame, every dialogue exchange, and every choice the producers and actors opted for. The second half, or simply, when Bond rescues Madeline back in Austria is when everything goes down the tubes for me, and I mean literally everything. Two words: weird and out of place.

I personally really liked Spectre.

45:48 - A pistol round cannot even travel that far before it peters out and falls to the ground. Chris Kyle probably would not have been able to make that shot unless the helicopter was still, and even then the bullet would have lost enough velocity to be deflected by the wind generator from the helicopter rotors.

spectre tried too hard to be another skyfall, but in the end it became another quantom of solace. if the series goes on like that, no time to die is gonna be a masterpiece.

7:00 oh my, I laughed so hard.

Why is the clinic at the top of a mountain? Hardest to get to clinic ever?

Was that some of the Bloodstone soundtrack at 3:27?

I personally saw the end as James getting Madeline out of the country for her safety. Also, James did not try to use the attackers on the slope chase as a lead as he had no idea where they were going to stop and his job is to protect Madeline. Plus, Madeline was connected to Spectre in some way, so she was his main lead. Good review, man.

Am I the only one that thinks Dave Bautista's Hinx character would have come back at the end of the film as Jaws?

Live and let die was my first and still favorite bond film
