QUICK TAKE:
Action: A British secret agent sets out to stop a villain from controlling a global network of surveillance systems.
PLOT:
Following an international incident where British secret agent James "007" Bond (DANIEL CRAIG) kills a terrorist intent on carrying out a stadium bombing but does so on his own accord, his new handler, Gareth Mallory, a.k.a. "M" (RALPH FIENNES), essentially grounds the agent from further work. That's while M deals with his superior, Max Denbigh, a.k.a. "C" (ANDREW SCOTT), having merged the MI5 and MI6 operations and is now prepared to active a global surveillance system and shut down the double-O agent program.

Undeterred, and with the aid of Eve Moneypenny (NAOMIE HARRIS) and gadget guru Q (BEN WHISHAW), Bond attends the funeral of the man he killed and meets his widow, Lucia Sciarra (MONICA BELLUCCI), who informs him of a meeting of the criminal organization known as Spectre. Bond gets into that, but is identified by its leader, Franz Oberhauser (CHRISTOPH WALTZ), and barely manages to escape from a hulking hitman, Mr. Hinx (DAVE BAUTISTA). Bond's search for more information leads him to a dying assassin, Mr. White (JESPER CHRISTENSEN), who gives him intel in exchange for Bond promising to protect his adult daughter, Dr. Madeleine Swann (LEA SEYDOUX).

He travels to Austria to find her, but she wants nothing to do with him. That is, until he rescues her from Mr. Hinx and other kidnappers. From that point on, Bond tries to get to the bottom of what's occurring, and that includes another dangerous encounter with Oberhauser.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
They will if they're fans of the James Bond movie franchise.
WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG-13
For intense sequences of action and violence, some disturbing images, sensuality and language.


I have subscribed to ScreenIt for more than a decade. I check in every week to take advantage of their amazing services. Not only does their site provide a glimpse of exactly what content a movie offers, I've found the “Our Take” reviews and ratings for each movie to be right on the money every single time. I've referred dozens of friends to this service because my #1 resource for deciding whether or not to show a movie to my kids, or to see one myself, is ScreenIt.com!

I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It!

I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents.

Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together.

I love screen It! I don't know what I would do without it. It is well worth the membership. Before we take our son to the movies we check it out on screen it first. Thank you SO much for making it. Keep up the good work & keep 'em coming!!!
