Some very nice sequences and scenes. Especially the single-tracking shot during the Day of The Dead bit at the beginning of the movie. And Dave Bautista makes for a very menancing Bond-style henchman even with only a single line in the movie. Like Oddjob or 1st appearance Jaws. Plot is more than a bit..well silly. Like I have a really hard time buying that nine nations, that include the UK, China and USA would be willing to form a JOINT surviellance sharing database, all run by a 3rd party corporation with no oversight.
Christopher Waltz is pretty good as Blofeld, managing to give even the most over the top villain monloguing a sense of drama and depth. But given that he managed the same in Green Hornet, no surprise there. I do find myself hoping that when he escaped the base explosion-ing so that he could be there for the final confrontation that he grabbed his cat. SPECTRE-cat doesn't deserve to get exploded because of the Bond/Blofeld feud...
