This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So many 10/10. Always fun to watch the 0 or 10 trying to push the score.

Anywhere here is my review:

There is nothing even remotely close to 10/10 perfect with this movie and neither is it a 0.
The movie does have some breathtaking scenes, good cinematography & there is some good action but you have to realize that this movie cost $250-301 million. The most expensive James Bond movie ever made to date.

My main problems with this movie is:

1. The James Bond brand has now gone completely woke. This movie has changed everything that made a James Bond movie and replaced it with the latest woke standards. If you want the details then I suggest you search the internet.

Warning MAJOR spoilers!!!!

2. It is way to obvious this is Daniel Craig's last appearance as Bond as the entire movie feels like they are cleaning house for the next iterations. They kill off major characters like Felix, Blofeld & even Bond himself dies in the end.

If you are a simple guy like me that enjoyed the old bond movies then stay away.

If you want to watch 2 hours 46 mins of an alternative woke universe Bond then this is for you. It´s a movie where almost everything that was Bond is changed according to the latest woke standards & where they clean house to be able to make some major changes in the future.

This was the last new James Bond movie that I will ever watch. While the movie does have it´s qualities it´s hard for it not to considering this is the most expensive Bond movie ever made. Sadly I feel this will be the Bond movie that not only killed off James Bond in the end but the entire franchise.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The whole premise of this film is based on revenge, it's not the best James bond movie I have seen and I have seen them all. There are holes in the story where the audience has to presume where bond ends up in the world, getting the big yellow life raft for a sinking ship that had almost sunk as he gets out of it and then is rescued by the big container ship heading where? I hope they continue the honor the author's vision, Ian Flemming, and 007 always is male agents. If not I will say goodbye to the franchise and any future movies.… Expand

I was expecting another hot mess after SKYFALL and SPECTRE. This was much better than those films, and in fact, is one of the best films of the franchise.

Understand, sites like this are swamped with fascists pushing their anti-woke agenda.I was expecting another hot mess after SKYFALL and SPECTRE. This was much better than those films, and in fact, is one of the best films of the franchise.

Understand, sites like this are swamped with fascists pushing their anti-woke agenda. They're the ones giving this zeros because the very idea of a black female agent irritates them, likely because Nomi has a bigger penis.

(One reviewer is so sad he said this film is the worst entry ever. Apparently this imbecile slept thru OCTOP-$$Y and A VIEW TO A KILL. Can't blame them. I know I did.)

I'm not a fan of franchises. I'm instead a fan of good films. If a franchise is made up of good films (like the recent APES remakes), then sure -- I'm a fan. The first STAR WARS film was rather good (not great), the 2nd was okay, and everything since has been wretched. 'Fanboys' would argue with that. That's why you must passionately ignore fanboys.

The Bond films were pretty good from their inception to the early Moores. DIAMONDS and GOLDEN GUN weren't the best -- but the rest were okay or better. Like it or not, fanboys, THE SPY WHO LOVED ME was the last great Bond film. It had everything and was nearly perfect. (Fanboys believe no Moore was any good because Connery, but that's the fascist male ego thing again. Spy was spectacular.)

After SPY each new entry would start big and bold and eventually collapse under poor story-telling, weak characters, lame jokes and cheesy spectacle. LIVING DAYLIGHTS was okay, I guess. I've rewatched TOMORROW NEVER DIES a lot, but that's because Michelle Yeoh and... wait for it... it's a remake of SPY.

Not until CASINO ROYALE did we get another GREAT Bond film. Understand -- I hated the new 'Gorilla Killer' Bond that was Craig. But since I'm not a fanboy but instead objestive I had to admit the film achieved its goals. And it held together from beginning to end. And has been very re-watchable. (That car flip is amazing.)

Some say the hot mess factor returned with QUANTUM. I strongly disagree. It was just a good little Bond film. I think the fascists were upset by the Latina lead. Boo-hoo.

The hot mess factor returned with Sam Mendes. Anyone who raves about SKYFALL is such a fanboy. That piece of trash is so sad it blatantly steals 'Wayne Manor' from BATMAN and Jim Malone from THE UNTOUCHABLES and still fails miserably.

I nearly walked out of the theater. It was so appalling I gave up paying for Bond in the theater. Only years later did the fanboys see in SPECTRE what was painfully obvious in COW-PIE FALL. And the irony here is that SPECTRE was less of a hot mess.

So I came into NO TIME TO DIE expecting less than nothing. I rented off Amazon and expected to abandon it within the hour. Instead I felt like the director of LUPIN was in charge and everything was suddenly SANE. Adult. And for the most part believable.

Unfortunately this film requires a long attention span. And compassion. If you lack both, please, go play a video game/with yourself. If you've seen and liked LUPIN, you'll likely enjoy NO TIME TO DIE. Not love but enjoy.

That said, the film wasn't perfect.

1. Jamaican Nomi seemed to be a one note character. "Hi! I'm a snarky b!tch!" Kinda flat. When she offered to abandon her numerical designation it seemed to be the end of a character arc we never witnessed.

2. Another sense that a story arc was edited was evident in Rami's Safin character. This character was nearly completely botched. Whenever I see a mask -- I know a 'big' reveal is coming that will fall flat. Always does. This is a beginner screenwriter's mistake. And since horror movies lean on masks as a cliche these days its simply not scary anymore. SILENCE OF THE LAMBS didn't need Hopkins in a mask or deformed. It worked better because the villain was humanized. If Rami had been allowed to simply act it would have worked MUCH better. So when he expressed a romantic interest -- it wouldn't have been twisted but actually understandable? Even worthy of consideration by the girl. And what if his 'evil' plan was really about getting rid of only bad people here and there? That because of what happened to him he never wanted it to happen to anyone else? That he was a decent guy but a little too ends justify the means, if you will.

I believe Rami was not only wasted in this role but miscast. (Wasn't he the same age as the girl?!?)

3. Easter Eggs distract. The relentless ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE references cheapen this film, making it feel derivative. Although I liked when Bond used that variant line at the end.

All these criticisms aside -- I enjoyed this film. And I know I'll watch it again. I highly recommend devoting a day to this at home vs. an evening out. We paused midway, made lunch, had a walk, came home and finished it. I do pity the behinds that sat through this entire thing.… Expand

I don't know who the target audience was for this movie but it wasn't die hard bond fans. Daniel Craig has to be the 2nd worse Bond after George Lazenby. Over the past few years Bond has been watered down in an effort to cater to the politically correct mob, the feminists and too bring out Bonds sensitive side. What a load of hog wash. Audiences of the past didn't go to see Bond movies for their romance angle. If you want romance and soppyness The Notebook is playing next door. Either give us back the Bond we know and love or let him die and be the end of it here and now. Ian Fleming must be turning in his grave right now. "Bond, please close the door on your way out"… Expand

The writers of the post-woke (2014) Bond movies are so focused on pushing a political movement that they've turned them from entertaining action into soppy drama that leaves you unsatisfied when it ends, just as many propaganda movies do. This final ever Bond movie is woke, and exactly as President Trump said, "Everything woke turns to s**t."… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall, the film is more of an strange homage to the Bond films, which deal with Bond's unusual subjects, than a typical Bond. Only the resulting plot diversity for a film is positive, but there is a lack of good ideas, interesting pictures, good actors, strong action sequences, interesting counterparts, espionage tension and humor. You'd think Hollywood is directing a Bond. With a hail of CGI rockets from the sky (wasn't it Iron Man?) The white British man is destroyed on the island. It's already praiseworthy that broccoli lets this go. maybe she's doing the world a favor and selling disney the rights so that James Bond can be completely messed up… Expand

While not the most action packed film in his line of movies, this last entry definitely concludes the story arc for the character very nicely.

One of the things I loved the most about Daniel Craig's line of Bond movies was not only how they were definitely more gruesome and grounded, but also how they intended to lure deeper into the character. Bond no longer was this untouchable, handsome, slick guy that had no fault, but was now a relatable, undestandable and even broken person that was still, pretty slick.

With No Time To Die we see a seasoned James Bond, more confident than ever, still with the awesome one liners and cockiness, yet we also see him at his most vulnerable. This movie further explores the character's willigness to love in spite of his over the top personality and I find that contrast to be overly interesting. I truly loved how his relationship with Madeline was developed in the movie and the ending was gut wrenching.

Whatsmore, the action scenes while sparce were still very fun to watch and the direction of the movie as a whole was pretty solid. This is a beautiful movie with some really nice shots.

If anything the movie's biggest issue had to do with the villains. I was not a fan of the main villain and even less of a fan of another character involved with the main threat. Rami Malek is a fantastic actor, but his character here really didnt have that much to do and compared to other villains like Silva from Skyfall, he falls really short. Nonetheless, the big world threatening plan was still pretty engaging as a whole.

With this being the ending of the Daniel Craig series of Bond movies and with so much to develop, No Time to Die is pretty long and in some parts it can undeniably drag a bit. In addition, its action scenes, while still pretty fun, are not the best in the series - so in that respect, this may not really be the best of the Craig Bond movies, Skyfall for me and even Casino Royale still sit at the top, but in my opinion, that doesn't really matter because as a conclusion, this still works quite great. This is a fantastic farewell to the best James Bond of all time.… Expand

Like a full glass of water: overflowing but tasteless, colorless, odorless. It flows away very well precisely because it leaves no traces, memories, emotions. Nor one could hoped otherwise: the choice of Craig as the new Bond was a voluntary rip from tradition and old school action movie, when the irony acted as a Brechtian estrangement against the exaggerations of the stuntmen, and it was an irony coming even earlier from the faces of the protagonists (I am not referring only to Connery but also to Willis, Schwarzy, etc.) than from the lines invented by the screenwriters. Perhaps anthropologists will be able to explain to us this paradigmatic change that took place with the turn of the millennium: the hero/heroine, a long list of imaginary, fictional or cartoon characters, takes him/herself more and more seriously, the Craig, Neeson, Reeves, Theron, the X- Men and the protagonists of the MCU evince an unlikely process of humanization with increasing frequency, assuming neorealistic connotations as if they were a test for an increasingly immersive virtual reality. Could I have made better use of 2 hours and 43 minutes of my life? I would have liked to have tried, but by now the implosive cultural trend has been established taking root everywhere.… Expand

So despite what some critics are saying about the pacing and length, after the intro this film got me stuck to my seat with a complex, colorful, multilayered story and insane action scences, but also presenting Bond as a human being more than the previous movies did, more specifically from the angle of what it means to live (and die) as an international spy. I thought the bad guys were a little too over-the-top, but then again this is the tradition of Bond flicks... you want them to look undefeatable. The locations and their use were fantastic, and the side actors were appealing even tho tongue-in-cheek.

It's true, tho, that that "Mumbling Lucifer Satan" arch-villain could have been played with more energy as here he just acts like a zombie. The subplot of having not an even higher leader of Spectre but their biggest foe (?) was original yet not too appealing... I was hoping for having a full-blown Dr. No instead, which would have made more sense with this series continuity and the film's title, and more justice as the "final boss" for the Craig era. It's a great end of the Craig era, and deserves the praise it didn't get. Daniel Craig has been the most charismatic yet realistic Bond in a long while.… Expand

We didn't need to spend 5 movies with Bond sulking and being often quite depressed coz a girl he knew for all of five minutes died. It's not good writing it's purely soap opera level.
This film is no exception to that. He's still mourning the loss over one girl while fawning over the girl from the last movie who was never interesting enough for us to care about in the first place. They devoted so much time on this soap opera sub plot that they forgot to write a semi coherent plot.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This Bond film is a travesty, a betrayal of everything that Bond stood for: a cool, cerebral individual, with a wry sense of humor and a realistic view of power and women. His job was simple "to get the job done". Sex and women were part of saving the world, not sentimental objects, not attachments that could ultimately compromise the mission, and yes, Bond was given a mission and for him to succeed, he had to leave everything behind, including himself, that is he could not sentimental, pursuing women for love or having kids. James Bond was the prototypical cowboy hero, or like Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, heroes that saves us, not romantic leads, that can be left for a Nicholas Spark novel or a Spielberg movie. And let me just say a few words about story, which makes no sense, a hodgepodge, of no interest, a casting very wanting, in fact the whole movie, a real Bond movie is 5 minutes long: The Cuba scenes with Ana de Armas. That blew my mind and saved the money I paid for almost three hours of inanity. The rest is a jumble of bad action sequences, overuse of guns, silly violence, and explosions, uncalled for car chases, and the faceless assassins that crowds every action movies nowdays.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So I've been busy lately and was looking forward to sitting down and catching up on a couple of films I wanted to see, Dune and No Time to Die. I decided to see what the critics and the public thought of No Time to Die but to my dismay, somebody named "Cantongamer" decided to complain about Bond getting snuffed at the end of said movie. And I'm like, "Oh great! Now I know Bond dies at the end". Knowing Bond was a goner pretty much killed my desire to watch No Time to Die. What happened to check the box for Spoiler Alert, Cantongamer? I'm sure Bond dodged some dangerous situations during the movie but knowing he's history at the end, so what? His luck is gonna run out baby, he's got a date with destiny coming. So "Cantongamer", next time if you're gonna **** about the biggest plot twist in the whole frickin'movie, please check the Spoiler Alert box for crissakes. Meanwhile, since I haven't seen the movie and probably never will, I'll give it a 6 since that's about what the users call is.… Expand

What I imagine is the Brocoli's taking a shelved Bond treatment or script off the shelf from decades ago; and, Daniel Craig--or the director, or a producer--holding it up to an all-crew meeting, and saying, "It's not the story; it's the execution which will make or break this film!" The result is a Bond film with the most coherent tone and confidence since Craig's Casino Royale, the only other good Craig Bond movie in my opinion. Addressing the negative reviews, coherent as this effort is, there is not enuf development of Bond's character to make his fate at the end impactful to me. This has been a problem on EVERY serious Bond film. Bond is an archetype of male domination and denial--among other things. How do you evolve that? Still Craig has done more than any other version to modernize Bond. Some critics cite Rami Malik as weak here. No, no, Rami's character is BOND'S SHADOW here. His main job here is to reflect the TOXIC CURSE BOND HAS PLACED ON HIMSELF. This Rami does well; it adds resonance to the climax.… Expand

I am a big fan of Daniel Craig's Bond so I must admit I went into this movie with high expectations. I just want to start off by saying there were some woke moments in the movie but really not a lot and nothing that ruins the movie, just makes you scratch your head for a second.

The production:

This was one of the first movies to be delayed by the pandemic which kept getting its release date pushed back further and further. A direct consequence of this I think falls into one of two camps at no fault of the cast and crew. You’ll have the ones who lose interest because of the year+ of waiting for release and you’ll have the ones whose expectations will be built up bordering overhyped. Take that and combine it with a director who walked off the project due to creative difference’s….things could get chaotic. The good: A lot of the films esthetic like music (Hans Zimmer), cinematography, editing and choreography range from very good to decent. The fight scenes weren’t to drawn out or long and the camera work was great also. The film also embraces the old Bond tropes of gadgets and one-liners more than any other of Craig’s series although sometimes to a fault. Bond’s family are all back in this one (Moneypenny, M, Q, Tanner, Felix) for this last hurrah. Ana De Armas stole the show despite her appearance being brief. Lashana Lynch wasn’t too bad, although I wish they did more with her character than “I’m replacing you” The Bad:

The plot…. The plot just makes no sense and the villain is a caricature of bad guys. At no point does anyone explain why things are happening what the plan is. I couldn’t help but feel like this was rushed to wrap up Craig’s tenure as Bond or this was 2 movies smashed into 1 leaving plot holes everywhere. The two main characters just don’t seem to have any chemistry, a similar issue they had in 2015’s Specter. Overall the movie lacked Bond’s charm that was present in Craig’s 4 other outings as 007.
Final:

5 out of 10, would wait for streaming. Not the worst Bond film I’ve ever seen (glares at Die Another Day) but my least favorite of the Craig installments. Even if I didn’t enjoy this movie, I’m grateful for Craig’s work as 007 and he is still my favorite Bond to date.… Expand

It isn’t a perfect movie by any means but its highs hit so high that they are impossible to ignore. All of the performances here are great. Craig gives his best performance as Bond. He feels more vulnerable than his other films. His range of emotion here is great and much better than the other films. Lea Seydoux is a major improvement from the previous film Spectre. Her character there was weak but here, she is so much more fleshed out and that’s the same for Christoph Waltz even though he has very limited screen time. Ana De Armas is a scene stealer here. I absolutely loved her character and performance and I would love to see more of her in the future. Rami Malek gives one of the best Bond villain performances but the issue with him is that his character is criminally underutilized. He isn’t in the film a lot and I really wish he was because he was that good. The action set pieces here are fantastic. Each set piece works to up the previous one and it works with the final action set piece being a one man army scene and I loved it. The cinematography, direction, and music are all fantastic. Hans Zimmer produces one of the best Bond scores ever while Cary Joji Fukunaga’s Direction gives the film a sense of finale and scale. The emotion in this film is off the charts. I’m not lying when I see the end of the film almost made me cry. The film knows how to tug at the audiences heartstrings and it really tugs hard here. If you love James Bond then this film is essential viewing. Please check it out when you can.… Expand

Was it a good idea to allow an under cooked villain to kill Blofeld and all of SPECTRE, one of the worst Bond girls to have a child with Bond, or to kill off Bond in a highly telegraphed finale? Probably not, and it distracts from an otherwise enjoyable, if generic, 007 romp.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. At long last, after much anticipation and delay Daniel Craig's final outing as 007 agent, James Bond, has finally hit theaters in the US and across the world. Now while the fans are all over the map as to where they stand with this film and the franchise as a whole because of it, I was one of many viewers who was left satisfied with the deeper exploration into Bond and the way in which he relates to the people and the world around him. What I love about Craig's take on the womanizing, super spy, is that he is not just a womanizing super spy. This classic Bond traits are a part of an armor, if you will, that he has built around himself to protect him from pain, lose and vulnerability. He so desperately wants to shed it and be able to live in a close, intimate relationship with someone, but Everytime he does it always ends up blowing up in his face, quite literally at the beginning of this film. So because of that he reclaims this "armor" and hides himself behind it, distancing himself from those who he needs to open up to the most fearing the prospect that he had once again shown an error in judgement and opened himself up to the wrong people, or that by association he puts them in peril. He wants the house with the clean cut lawn and the white picket fence, but he can never have it. He is James Bond and someone will always come to disrupt his tiny slice of paradise. The first 20 minutes of this film display this so beautifully. Beyond that the relationship between Bond and Madeline Swan is much better here then in Spectre. Here you actually see how much she means to Bond and that she's not just yet another affair on a espionage mission. She also is given a deep connection to the villain, Safin, who is the the force preventing her from leading a normal life since in some twisted manner, he sees her as some type of close family after pulling her from the lake in the films cold open, no pun intended there. The film also gives Bond an extremely emotional, and poetic send off. All of his life his existence had our his loved ones at risk, and realizing he can't life with them, he sacrifices himself to save them.

Beyond that it the cast, and action, are firing on all cylinders and and it introduces some really cool characters in the new 007 and Paloma who can carry the franchise forward. James Bond will return...… Expand

I liked this movie. It had a lot of work to do; close out the Daniel Craig films and multiple storylines which previous films (Spectre, specifically) attempted to do somewhat clumsily. There is a LOT in the film, with additional callbacks to very early Bond films while at the same time updating Bond and the other characters to the times. The action is fantastic and the gadgets (like in most of the Craig films) are featured without crowding out the characters and dialogue. RM as the villain reminded me of a Ferrari in traffic; he's a great actor who had to work with limited time and material (which was a reasonable choice for the filmmakers, there wasn't a lot of room for development when there was so much to get through). There are other departures from the series for this film which I won't spoil. In the end I gave it a 9 in large part because they did a great job for a film that had a very high degree of difficulty. It's not Skyfall or Casino Royale but the fact that it was closer to those films than QoS is a really impressive feat imo.… Expand

After fifteen years and with almost two of constant delays, Daniel Craig's cycle as James Bond has come to an end.

His introduction with Casino Royale was a more than clear proposal to take the character to the 21st century, after the forgettable Die Another Day of 2002.

Certainly it can be said that he became a more ruthless spy, inspired by what had been seen with Jason Bourne, but Bond certainly retained and elevated his status, and with the exception of the more than irregular Quantum of Solace, Daniel Craig's run with the character is the strongest I've seen in my opinion.

No Time to Die, does not surpass Skyfall, but it's superior to Spectre. More than anything because even with the excessive duration, the people involved in the creation of this film understood that a story was getting a closure, and they achieved an emotional level that had never really been seen in this franchise before.

Perhaps the biggest flaw I should mention is the poverty of its villains.
Christoph Waltz's brief return as Ernst Stavro Blofeld is basically irrelevant for the plot in general, while Rami Malek's character and performance were sad disappointments.

From then on, No Time to Die is a very entertaining film that manages to give cohesion to its plot, bearing the weight of having made all of Craig's films plot-connected rather than individual stories, as had always been the case with character.
When the closing comes, is emotional, and more than worthy for the character.

It certainly raises some interesting questions about the future of the franchise, particularly because it will be interesting to see if the studio will continue with this cast and with Lashana Lynch as a 00 agent, or if they will decide to start from scratch with Daniel Craig's successor.

Right now it's all assumptions and speculations, but whatever comes up for the character will undoubtedly have a very high bar to reach. But in the meantime, enjoy this great film.… Expand

The only scene in the entire thing that anyone liked was the eyeball scene near the end. Bring back James Bond and make more 60s and 70s cold war era wit and fun movies.

Unfortunately barring a lovely bar-fight scene, the mid section thoroughly dissapoints, as it is filled with an overly sappy storyline, plenty of pandering, terrible writing and deus ex machina, Worst of all though its boring and just drags on and on.

I loved malek in both Queen and mr robot and I have to believe he has done the best with what he was given but the villain was so forgettable I cant remember his name without looking it up online one day after seeing it in the cinema.

I have no idea what movie most of the major critics have watched(though tbf metacritic gives a much lower score than any other site) but I have no idea how anyone in their right mind would give this an average of 8/10.

Right from the start the film sucked me in with a nice location and the subsequent action pumping up the pace followed by a classic musical intro, this time from Billie Eilish and yeah, I liked it. Then some more action and I'm not gonna lie, I was slowly getting sick of the action. The pace really started to pick up and the locations started to rotate and yes, there are a lot of locations and a lot of rotation, which I thought was great in the finale. The film does slow down after a while and after the delicious action that drew me in I was ready to follow some deeper plot. The story was cool in my opinion and it was definitely helped by the villain here played by Rami Malek and for me it was a great choice as I thought he was great, even though he wasn't in the film much in the finale. I'm coming to one last thing and that's the overall length. The film is actually almost 3 hours long, which is really quite a lot, but for me it didn't hurt at all in the finale. The last Bond as Craig, so the last final charge, which didn't even bore me with the length because as I mentioned there are changing locations and there is quite a bit of action which I enjoyed watching. So in the end I enjoyed Daniel Craig's last adventure as Bond to the fullest and for me this is a great film that beautifully and I might add unexpectedly concluded a Bond saga that I can recommend to Bond fans.… Expand

After watching this, I felt happy at how the story was treated and how James Bond was handled. On that note, I love how emotionally personal this story is for Bond which I haven't felt since his first outing; Casino Royale (2006). It felt like there was an actual reason and personal stakes for Bond to be invested this time instead of it just being a mission. I also liked that the threat this time is bigger than any threat Bond faced before. It felt like it was a potential world scale disaster which is fitting for the final Craig movie. Some issues I had with Spectre (2016) was that the group itself didn't feel menacing and that Bond's relationship with Madeleine Swann was weak. No Time to Die (2021) does a good job rectifying these issues as Spectre feels more like a proper villainous group, while the relationship between Bond and Swann is an emotional core in this film

Additionally, the action scenes in this film are great. Some memorable ones include a stunning action sequence near the beginning, an awesome shoot out in Cuba and a terrific one-take sequence near the end. It was clear that a lot of effort was put into these action sequences and that there was an effort to try and differentiate them from previous movies. There are also a variety of different beautiful locations in this which leads to some great cinematography. Furthermore, the returning actors are doing the best acting we have seen from them so far and the new ones are all great additions. Craig gives the most emotional and charismatic performance as Bond ever. Craig's performance as Bond is usually stone-cold like an agent would be, with some exceptions in certain scenes. Here we see him have some great banter and jokes that you wouldn't usually see from him but it surprisingly works. Yet despite that, we also get to see Bond at his most emotionally vulnerable state which is delivered wonderfully by Craig's performance. His conflict with new 007, Nomi played by Lashana Lynch, is also enjoyable to watch with both constantly making jabs at each other. I am glad Nomi isn't just a "female bond/007" and has a distinct personality from Bond with a more no-nonsense and serious nature to her. I also enjoyed Ana de Armas as the new Bond girl, Paloma, who represents the classic gorgeous badass we have seen from previous Bond movies. She has such a fun bubbly personality and great chemistry with Bond. Plus her action scenes were great too which makes it such a shame that she is barely in this movie. If No Time to Die (2021) did one thing then it was making me want to see more of Nomi and Paloma. Rami Malek plays the villain Safin and he gives a very creepy and unsettling performance. Whenever he was on-screen he was able to pull his own.

Unfortunately, the villain Safin isn't in the movie much with Spectre being more of a villain for the first half. It's a shame as Rami is great but he doesn't have much of a presence until halfway in. Moreover, Safin motives are incredibly vague and silly. He wants to kill millions of people just because he is evil I guess. He also has a weird obsession with Madeleine but it is never fully clear why exactly he wants her apart from some vague ideas like family or like her. There is also 2 villainous henchman. One with a cybernetic eye that is very forgettable if it weren't for the eye and another with a quirky personality but doesn't appear much. They are both not that great sadly and I wish one of them was cut. A central element in this film is a thing called "Nanobots" and it is as silly as it sounds. It is a MacGuffin that can do whatever stupid thing the plot needs it to do. It is so ridiculous that I question how this could exist in Craig's grounded Bond universe. The Nanobots and the villains make this feel like the most cartoony of the Craig Bond movies which dampen the final outing a bit. The movie is also a bit too long at 2 hours 40 minutes. The pacing drops around the middle and there is a fair amount of moments where it is just exposition dumps. This film could have benefitted from cutting 10-15 minutes off the runtime. Legendary composer, Hans Zimmer, is the one who did the music score for No Time to Die (2021) which sounds like a match made in heaven. However, his score is so generic, plain and even forgettable as the music score lacks a lot of impacts that you would see in Hans Zimmer score for other movies.… Expand

M, Q, Moneypenny and Felix are as brilliant as ever, and the new characters played by Ana de Armas and Lashana Lynch fit perfectly in the movie. These characters are very likeable, and so are the villains. "No time to die" is a perfect mixture of beautiful settings and photography, first-class acting, a smart script and the most Bond-like soundtrack in many years. Even though pace can be tricky in a 2:43 hour long action movie, every scene contributes with either entertainment for the audience or meaning to the story. I enjoyed every line and every shot fired. Daniel Craig's last interpretation of James Bond also show how much the character has evolved throughout the years. As a 00-agent in his 50s, he probably knows he has outlived himself. There seem to be a lot going on in his head, and Daniel Craig portrays this beautifully. Craig's last and slightly older version of James Bond is both tough and experienced but also wise and sensitive, naturally, after all he has been through. All this makes "No time to die" one of the most interesting and intriguing Bond movies ever, even though "Skyfall" remain my personal favorite.… Expand

The set pieces surrounding him look great, so it's easy to overlook his unimpressive threats, as he appears to pose no real danger to anyone in particular.

Having underlined that serious flaw, I gotta say: good god, man! the rest of the movie was AMAZING! So good that you often keep waiting for it to run out of steam, and so it does eventually deflate a little as the film funnels the otherwise surprising script into the stereotypical Bond villain/lair/monologue setup, but I absolutely loved how it got there. As much as it pains me to say, a watch of the mediocre 4th film SPECTRE definitely helped my understanding of this film, so watch them back to back if you (dare) want the full experience.

First Two Acts: BRILLIANT
Third Act: A mixed bag
Daniel Craig: Knocked it out of the park

Rating: 8.5 plus .5 bonus points for the A. De Armas scene alone… Expand

There are some spectacular stunts, awesome locations and evil villains (the primary one is played by Rami Malek, who will NOT end up in the pantheon of great Bond villains). Of course, the sinister plot involves saving the world from yet another hi-tech plague. There seems to be a bit more humor (thanks prob to the writing contributions of Phoebe Waller-Bridge) and fewer luxurious sexual liaisons, while ramping up the female empowerment angle (again, Phoebe). What this one also boasts is some story surprises unlike any before. In addition, there are a number of “tributes” to Craig’s tenure to give it a touch of sentimentality. Other than the story twists, this isn't an especially memorable final showcase for Craig.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Political claws are deep in this one. You'll get to experience James Bond getting shut down by women (every man's fantasy,) getting shown up on the battlefield by young, less experienced female characters, and getting his codename taken. You'll marvel at the lame villain, dumb plot, and needless side characters. For a movie nearly 3 hours long they could have easily left out the Nomi character who exists only to bully the star of the series and shut down toxic men. For your hard earned money you'll get to walk out of the theatre feeling empty and unfulfilled at the terrible, ruthless, and pointless ending both to this film and to Daniel Craig's Bond. On the upside - Daniel's still got it, action scenes are pretty good, and visually it's quite beautiful in many scenes.… Expand

Here it is. The end of an era. In his fifth and final act, Daniel Craig's James Bond finds himself forced out of retirement after trying to settle down in favor of a quiet life with Madeline Swann (Lea Seydoux), his love interest from the previous film 'Spectre'. He is soon tasked with stopping an evil mastermind (Rami Malek) from unleashing a mysterious poison upon the world, all while grappling with demons from his past. I gotta be honest, I was really dreading this being the farewell film for Craig's Bond, as he's come to be my absolute favorite actor to portray the iconic British spy over the years. His grounded, flawed, and realistic approach to the character has been unlike any other Bond actor who's come before him, making him a very sympathetic hero. So because I was so sad to see him go, I knew that this film would have to do him and his legacy he's created over the past 15 or so years of portraying the character some pretty solid justice, and fortunately I can report that justice is well-served for his bow-out here. All loose-ends are tied off fittingly, and Bond is truly given the justice and sendoff that he deserved. On top of that, the action sequences are as intense and thrilling to watch as they've ever been in the series. As far as performances go, Craig humanizes Bond more than ever here, and presents him as vulnerable and hesitant, which is something we've never fully seen in the character before. The amount of depth and layers that Craig adds to Bond here with his performance is truly remarkable. Rami Malek is also worth singling out here. Despite playing a rather stereotypical-feeling Bond villain, he manages to make the most of it in a rather subtle and understated yet ultimately chilling and sinister way. Other returning cast members such as Ralph Fiennes as M, Ben Whishaw as Q, Jeffrey Wright as Felix, Naomie Harris as Moneypenny, and Christoph Waltz as Blofeld are all on-point with their performances as well. The addition of some new kick-ass Bond women from actresses Lashana Lynch and Ana de Armas are also a warm welcome. As far as the story and sendoff goes, it does feel a little bit typical of a Bond plot, and while the farewell to Craig's Bond is rather fitting like I said, I will say that there were some aspects of it that felt a little bit rushed and predictable in the final moments, but is mostly overshadowed by the overall buildup to his final moments and the rest of the film's performances and stellar action. I'll truly miss Craig's Bond, but his final film here was a certainly worthy conclusion that's right up there with 'Skyfall' as possibly my second favorite Craig Bond film behind 'Casino Royale' as my favorite. Whoever replaces Craig from here certainly has large shoes to fill and quite the franchise to carry from here.… Expand

The opening montage was signature, a long tortuous episode of action and grit. It was really nice to see homage paid to locales, music and friends of Bond’s past, as we took a walk through history of sorts. The speed at which Bond experiences loss and pain is matched by his frenetic efforts to finish one last great mission for his nation and his world. All the fears of an emasculated Bond were way overblown, if anything he epitomized Commander Bond, and got his due respect. This movie is quite emotional and brings the Craig era to a satisfactory close, tying threads going back to Casino Royale. The last half hour really packed a punch to the gut, showing that even Bond is beholden to love, and blood, and will do anything to make things right. The saddest words are indeed ‘we have all the time in the world’.… Expand
