...is what happens after the film's end. Literally the greatest setup is staged, and we're left wondering what's to happen with Blofeld, where is Bond going with Madeleine, and what is the staff of the 00 division doing now that it's in disarray?
So many questions. Such disappointing in-film storytelling.
None of those things are particularly interesting let alone disappointing, to me. Blofeld is captured. How the incarceration goes is another story, literally.
It is intentionally ambiguous whether Bond and Madeleine are leaving (if they don't bring back Craig) or temporarily gallivanting (if they do bring back Craig), so that either way the ending works. If anything the interesting thing about this is that it sets up a recast to be some form of reboot rather than continuation, if they so desire.
The 00 division needs no particular arc closure; it might still be threatened next script if they don't quite yet feel the agency jeopardy horse has been beaten to death yet, though I sense horse gristle around all our ankles for a few years now. Or, they can move forward regardless, since the 00's just saved western civilization from the corruption of the "rival" modern agency methodology, they can be presumed to be redeemed for now, no real discussion necessary.
Wanting to see any/all of that explicitly is understandable. Not being satisfied without such detail is, you know, unnecessary.
Now, this is a signature gun, and that is an optical palm reader.
If anything the interesting thing about this is that it sets up a recast to be some form of reboot rather than continuation, if they so desire.
Personally if there's a recast I hope they keep in ambiguous as to whether it's connected to Craig's films. Just do a standalone story for the first one with the new actor that's not connected to any of the other ones, aside from possibly bringing Fiennes, Harris, and Winshaw back.
SPECTRE is good with the slow reveal. The film revealed plenty, and it's a great setup as you said with more to come.
I'm motivated by my Duty.
