This happens in front of hundreds of onlookers who watch silently and uncaring with no-one stepping in to stop this horrific act of violence. The man’s face is seen briefly with black holes where his eyes should be. The camera then switches to behind the victims’ head and as he pulls away, the attackers’ thumbs drip with blood. Although he doesn’t cry out, he does make a few gasping and grunting noises. The attackers’ thumbs are shown pushing into the man’s closed eyes for around 5 seconds as the victim’s face grimaces and contorts in pain. A man is attacked and has his eyes pushed into his skull by a very calm but aggressive man. The strongest moment of violence is during the ‘Spectre’ meeting which Bond sneaks into during the first third of the movie. The two men are there to murder her and, just as they raise their guns, she realises, taking a deep breath and closing her eyes as she waits to be killed. Bond is also shown to be topless while several women stroke his chest.Ī woman walks through her house and, as the camera is pointed directly at her, the audience can see that two men are lying in wait for her but she is completely unaware. Nudity is covered with shadow or the tentacles of an octopus. The Bond theme is unsurprisingly filled with images of naked or scantily clad women. Many people are dressed as skeletons and wear masks that could be quite frightening for young children. The movie opens with a ‘Day of the Dead’ celebration which includes close-ups of fake but realistic skeletons and skulls. CONTENT – IS ‘SPECTRE’ SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN? ‘Spectre’ ticks all the boxes for a great spy thriller and continues to bring the character and James Bond’s globetrotting adventures into the 21 st Century and although it struggles to actualise its characters, it doesn’t disappoint as both a Bond film or as a movie in its own right. However, the movie is otherwise excellent and the exciting (and sometimes brutal) action scenes alone are worth the price of the cinema ticket. His dealings with his trusted friends never portray a particularly deep attachment to them and the connections he makes with new characters (both good and bad) are forced and rushed the audience are told to feel a certain way rather than naturally coming to the realisation themselves. Where ‘Spectre’ falls down is its lack of character depth to anyone other than Bond. There a plenty of references to previous Bond films and the touches relating to M – the loss the Bond clearly feels and his loyalty to her – are poignant but thankfully not overly emotional but the fact that her death has affected him brings a very welcome and somewhat rare humanity to the otherwise cold and calculating Bond. This time, Bond becomes the target of SPECTRE: the sinister and secretive criminal organisation which seemingly has operatives everywhere. ![]() ‘Spectre’ serves as Daniel Craig’s fourth outing as the super spy James Bond and the twenty-fourth in the overall series following 007’s exploits.
