15 So-Called 'Must See' Films In 2015 (That Might Actually Be Worth Watching)
7. Spectre
The Hype: Sam Mendes returns to direct Daniel Craig's fourth time up to bat as James Bond, looking to build on the fantastic Skyfall and deliver another top-tier outing for the iconic British spy. Christoph Waltz plays villain Franz Oberhauser (widely believed to be Blofeld), Dave Bautista is his henchman Mr. Hinx, and Monica Bellucci and Lea Seydoux play the movie's Bond girls. What's not to like? Why It'll Probably Deliver: There's certainly a ridiculous array of talent attached to this movie, such that on paper it can easily compete with Craig's best Bond flicks, Casino Royale and Skyfall. Plus, given how reluctant Mendes originally was to return, the script must've been something pretty special to lure him back, right? Why It Might Not: On the other hand, the Sony Pictures hack did reveal some troubling information, that the script was still being worked on right up to the start of shooting in November, and that the production was already wildly over-budget. Also, with what is apparently the entire plot leaking online, Bond fans have been heavily divided about some of the more outlandish plot developments in the movie, so it remains to be seen how they'll play on screen...
