An excellent send off for Daniel Craig's James Bond, but you need to see all the other Craig Bond films to grasp it in full.

Cars, gadgets, girls, and Bond just being awesome. Cary Joji Fukunaga directs this film with some style and the action sequences are one of the best of the franchise. The opening car chase is gripping as hell, the Cuba sequence is so much fun and the staircase shootout is very intense. Everything is gorgeously filmed and you can savor every second of the action. Fukunaga's handling of the character scenes are also very attractive, with some genuinely emotional scenes not really expected from the Bond series. Linus Sandgren's cinematography is glorious with some gorgeous scenery reminding me of La La Land and First Man. One of the few disappointments in the film is the villain played by Oscar winner Rami Malek. After the extremely effective horror like opening, he completely disappears until half way into the film and even then he rarely becomes interesting. Even if Malek is a great actor, he is just not given alot to do. The film is too long however and some of the dialogue scenes especially ones involving Malek does drag. The divisive ending is heartfelt and beautiful in my opinion and Daniel Craig truly ended on a high note. He is the best Bond in my opinion and he is glorious as Bond one last time. I saw this film 4 times in theaters and it is a film I won't forget.… Expand

'No Time to Die' is an homage not just to the franchise as a whole — with many blink-and-you'll-miss-it moments — but to Daniel Craig himself, who says goodbye in the only way possible.

Despite visiting familiar places, the film manages to be entertaining; there's you'll usual gadgets and exotic locations, but Cary Fukunaga and the team of writers — including Phoebe Waller-Bridge, whose touch tones down the macho persona around Bond — make the beloved spy face his past, his present, and certainly his future.

But, for me, the main problem of the film is the villain. I mean, you don't need to practically name your main villain "Lucifer" to imply that he's bad. But, seriously, Safin's motivations never seem clear, neither as his goals, beyond the obvious.

Also, I wish they had explored more of Lashana Lynch's character. There was a lot of potential there, but I think she was underdeveloped.

Anyway, the main objective of this film was getting rid of the bad taste after the last one, and giving Craig a proper send-off. And I'm glad they did it. Letting go is hard, but not even Bond can't fight the passing of time.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The latest Bond flick starts with James Bond, played again by Daniel Craig enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica with a lover before he is attacked. He manages to fight off his assailants and escape, temporarily parting ways with the woman. We find out this woman’s mother was killed when she was a child in Russia by a strange man with a mask. Bond is working with the CIA at the start of the film and investigating the insidious SPECTRE agency. The man who murdered Bond’s girlfriend’s mother is in charge of SPECTRE and steals a biological weapon from the Russian secret service and plots to use it on society to bring order or some s***. At first Bond thinks Ernst Blofeld is behind this scheme and he interrogated him in prison. Blofeld threatens Bond but is killed off just to make way for the other villain. The other villain kidnaps Bond’s girlfriend and apparent daughter and prepares to use his weapon on humanity. Bond manages to save the day and kill the baddies but is left stranded on the villain’s island lair and apparently dies in an explosion. The movie had a lot of good cinematography and some good action sequences. Bond made several corny quips or puns which is conventional James Bond. The movie introduced a new 007 agent who was a black woman which might irritate some in the anti-woke crowd. The movie also dragged on a bit, it had a long runtime.… Expand

‘No Time to Die’ is the end of an era for Daniel Craig's James Bond, the Bond of my era, and what a bittersweet finale. Daniel Craig delivers one of his finest performances since ‘Casino Royale’ and ‘Skyfall’, with so much emotion, humor,‘No Time to Die’ is the end of an era for Daniel Craig's James Bond, the Bond of my era, and what a bittersweet finale. Daniel Craig delivers one of his finest performances since ‘Casino Royale’ and ‘Skyfall’, with so much emotion, humor, depth, and passion. Despite his attitude towards the role over the years, I still think Craig brings something unique and fresh to the character that is consistent for 15 years, which is making the most masculine ladies’ man that ever guy desires to be, into a broken man with so much pain and inner loss that it makes him visually vulnerable. Showing this on screen, especially for a male character in an action series like Bond, is often ridiculed, but it only makes him more human and it’s something I always appreciated. He echoes back to Sean Connery smoothness, George Lazenby’s loss, and Timothy Dalton’s ruthlessness. Craig is so excellent in this movie that he further makes the character defined in his own image. Ian Fleming often descried Bond as a “shadow” of a person and I think Craig really makes that transparent in the series. He is one of the best Bond's ever. Whoever takes over the lead role has some massive shoes to fill, because I can’t imagine where to take the character next.

Rami Malek as the villain Safin was good but isn't in the movie that much. However, the opening sequence with him was so menacing and visually memorable, it made for a strong opening. It was like an opening to a slasher movie. Léa Seydoux returns as Madeleine from ‘Spectre’ and this time has a lot more to work with here, and Seydoux also delivers a great performance. The chemistry between her and Craig is much stronger this time around, as it was more loving, passionate, and complicated that by the end I did find myself caring for the two. All the supporting cast were well utilised, especially Naomie Harris as Moneypenny, Ben Whishaw as Q, and Jeffrey Wright as Felix, who are the only people that Bond could call friends. Ana de Armas made a strong long-lasting impression on me despite the small screen time. But I have a feeling we will see more of her soon. Christoph Waltz returns briefly as Blofeld and Waltz is always good. I did like the obvious homage to “Hannibal Lecter” when Blofeld is brought out of his high-tech jail cell for questioning and the unnerving build up to it. That’s the weirdest part of this movie; there’s a lot of horror elements, or on paper “horror concepts. Coming to think of it, this could also apply to the previous Craig Bond movies, it’s just that now I’m starting to notice it.

The new theme song performed by Billie Eilish is both heart-breaking and Eilish’s is so in control of her singing, starting off soft in tone, then getting louder for the gut punch. I had goosebumps when the theme song started playing in the cinema. The context of the song with the previous scene made it even more devastating and fitted the movie so well. The cinematography by Linus Sandgren looked so gorgeous and stunning, with a great mixture of neon colours, stylising the spy genre once again. Director Cary Joji Fukunaga, like all directors should do when it comes to a film series, is keeping it fresh and exciting and he delivers exactly that. The action scenes were fantastic and such an improvement over the previous movies. One scene that comes to mind is an action scene where Bond makes his way up a stairway but there are henchmen in the way and Bond clears them out. A couple times he runs out of ammunition, so he quickly grabs a dead henchman’s gun just in the nick of time. Another action scene that comes to mind takes place in the woods, with the foggy setting, and Bond taking everyone out while protecting the ones he loves. It was surprisingly intense. Gunshots and explosions haven’t been this slick in a while. One long takes, great set pieces, and awesome execution that was satisfying to watch. Also, never in a million years would I thought I would cry watching a James Bond movie, but I was wrong. Very emotional.

On the other hand, the movie is a lot campier with one liners, the villains main plan and gadgets being more absurd than ever, while also connecting the previous Craig movies in the same vein, which somehow wasn't a mess despite me cringing at times It's a long movie, 2 hours, and 43 minutes, and yet there isn’t a scene that I could think of that I would remove, because there’s so much good character scenes.

I found it kind of ridiculous the amount of times Bond manages to survive an explosion, up close as well. I know the movie is going for more extreme in terms of action set pieces rather than grounded realism, but the only outcome he got from a grenade blast up close is a ringing ear drop, with the classic 'EEEEEEEEEEEEE' sound.

Not flawless by any means, but I'm just happy that out of the final Bond movies, this is by far the strongest. Thank you Daniel Craig.… Expand

What's up, Streamers! We've been waiting for 2 years and it's finally here. Yes, it's the newest James Bond movie, No Time To Die. Maybe you've heard that it's the last installment of the franchise with Daniel Craig as Bond, James Bond? OfWhat's up, Streamers! We've been waiting for 2 years and it's finally here. Yes, it's the newest James Bond movie, No Time To Die. Maybe you've heard that it's the last installment of the franchise with Daniel Craig as Bond, James Bond? Of course, I was there on opening weekend because Craig has been an awesome Bond and really energized the James Bond brand. Here's whether the 2-year wait was worth it.

Do I have to give you a plot synopsis? TBH, before Daniel Craig became Bond, I never cared for these movies because the plot is meaningless. What happens in No Time To Die? What always happens in James Bond movies: running, fights, guns, girls, cars, explosions, rinse and repeat. What matters is how stylish and thrilling these set pieces are and how cool James Bond is through it all.

Actually, the plot of No Time To Die is one of my peeves about this movie. The Daniel Craig James Bond movies have been pretty serialized so having some knowledge about the previous installments may be useful. Characters and plot points from Casino Royale to Spectre are referenced here. I don't remember the plot details from those previous movies because these movies aren't about plot! Whatever. Nevertheless, here, James Bond has been in retirement, living married life, until his past blasts him back into action. Hijinks and action ensue.

Cary Joji Fukunaga does a great job directing the action of No Time To Die. There are some good sequences, particularly one that features the luminous Ana de Armas, in a Knives Out reunion with Craig. She's great in this sequence as an eager, novice agent. She kicks major butt and has an easy chemistry with Daniel Craig. The problem with Fukunaga's direction has to be that the film is not edited well. There's so much going on plot-wise, action-wise, and emotionally - too many extraneous characters that it comes off as unfocused and a bit like they threw in everything but the kitchen sink. If you really love Bond, then you may not mind the 2 hour 37 minute runtime, but I and my heavy eyelids did feel it .

On the upside, Daniel Craig gave this one his all. He has James Bond in his bones and he oozes that cool charm that the character is known for. Craig also gets to play other emotions than just stoic machismo. He has some tender moments with Lea Seydoux, even if I don't totally believe their relationship, but he's especially good with his old friend, Felix, played by Jeffrey Wright and the aforementioned new associate played by Ana de Armas. What you came for was Craig's last Bond film and he delivers the goods.

Ultimately, you know what you're getting from a James Bond movie. No Time To Die is no different than its predecessors. It is not the best James Bond film you'll see, but it is far from the worst. The plot does not justify the overlong runtime, but the movie otherwise hits its mark as expected. Also, Daniel Craig has done such a great job updating James Bond for the 21st century that it will be interesting to see where the character goes next. I'd suggest a matinee viewing with a good bowl of popcorn.… Expand

This time, the story was really personal and didn't feel like it had the air-miles like other bond films. You know what i mean! One minute we're in Siberia, then Tunisia, then Somewhere else. This film didn't seem to have that.

And certain locations were so obvious that it was a set (like in Cuba) if just felt fake. The storyline was solid, the acting was good overall. it just came across overly scripted and in turn, not as believable.

The action at first was good, but as the film when on, it took a back seat. Bond going into the villains complex and sticking one bullet into every person without blinking, endless magazines and bad guys that were more like NPC's set to easy mode. Just boring.

Lea Seydeoux - Absolute dreamboat, but just used as an extra with a lot of lines.

The Bond Villain - Has to be the worse villain in any Bond film.

What made this film good, was the consistency of the story telling. Underneath it all was a good script. Just executed in an average way.… 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. Imagine if Harrison Ford got his wish and had Han Solo die during Return Of The Jedi, and the entire movie led up to that moment. That's the feeling I had watching No Time To Die. It's been well documented that Daniel Craig was tiring of the role and this film was seemingly designed to give his version of Bond an explosive (pun intended) send off. The film's pre-credit sequence does not initially start with Bond, or some crisis that sets up the plot. It starts with a mother and young daughter in a wintery secluded home and the attack on the occupants by a kabuki masked assailant. The daughter survives and grows up to be Bond's lover. Question. If Rami Malek' s character was the assailant, and he appears to be currently fortyish, he would have been, what?, in his teens during that flashback sequence? Anywho, time logic aside, Bond appears to have retired for good and tries to put the past behind him. Ahh, but as Pacino discovered in The Godfather, every time they try to get away they get pulled back in. Bond has to save the world once again by a villain looking to unleash a DNA encoded virus that can kill targeted victims based on their DNA and those who have those DNA traits like, wait for it....family. So, Bond has become a family man with an actress he has no chemistry with, and become an instant daddy to a child just introduced. It makes his self sacrifice a bit hollow and a convenience for convenience sake. That said, the film is the very model of a modern action thriller. Beautifully shot, edited, set designed, stuntwork, etc. And Craig seems to be enjoying his last turn as Bond, as opposed to his dour, eating sour grapes appearance in Spectre. It just seems like a two and a half hour journey to get an actor out of a franchise.… Expand

The mind-blastingly stupid secondary plot has Bond completely in love with a woman who just happens to be the daughter of his arch-enemy Blofeld but then falls completely out of love with her because she "betrayed" him? How exactly? Despite being completely in love with her at the start of the movie he knows nothing about their daughter who appears out of nowhere two hours later in the movie. The woman has access to top secret British facilities but MI6 have no way of tracking her. I could go on but please do yourself a favour and DO NOT WATCH THIS.… Expand

While the film is to be admired for trying to doPredictable, loquacious and far too long, this latest installment in the James Bond franchise and Daniel Craig's swan song in the lead role is a major disappointment given all the build-up. While the film is to be admired for trying to do something more with the character than what was done in many of its predecessors, it unfortunately gets bogged down in these attempts at adding depth and substance, resulting in a number of talky sequences where viewers are wont to exclaim "Get on with it already." With this being Craig's final turn as 007 and with this film marking the franchise's 25th installment milestone, the picture often plays like a collection of "Bond's greatest hits," incorporating numerous references to past characters, incidents and even dialogue that seem to serve little purpose other than working them into the story for nostalgic good measure. Also, an unoriginal plot, the underutilization of certain cast members (most notably Rami Malek as the villain who's often treated like an afterthought), and the failure to employ the franchise's signature action sequences and technological gimmickry to any great degree weigh this effort down even further. Director Cary Joji Fukunaga's contribution to this legendary film series definitely comes up short of expectations, especially in light of the much anticipated build-up it received as a result of its protracted pandemic-delayed release. Indeed, if this is what we've been waiting for all this time, regrettably, it truly doesn't measure up to the hype.… Expand

At times it's a good film, but has nothing to do with espionage... this is essentially just the continuation & ending to Craig's Bond, that is JUST an action movie with upwards of 2 hours of acceptable Bond material. Then unfortunately you get an onslaught of cons right after each other with the asinine Wokeist-revisionist race war line, the whole Safin closes the silo doors, artificial sense of "somebody" is coming to take the virus so Bond HAS to double back, get infected and shot up, and sacrifice himself for the greater good. It was a cheap death for the sake of finishing the Craig storyline.


There are some very memorable scenes overall, the opening with Safin going to Madeleine's parents house is without a doubt inspired by horror/thriller film, the entire Cuba section is flawless, Norway's forest shootout is visually beautiful, and the shootout on the the staircase of Safin's base is fantastic.

I am disappointed that Craig's Aston Martin that he designed only sat in the garage. (my assumption is that it didn't pass road safety, or had no engine in it at the time) I do not really know why it was shown if it served no purpose, especially when it was marketed as "important"...

Lastly, for a history lesson. The Soviet Union (Russia) was never fascist/racist, they have worked alongside many different races, including Cubans and Africans throughout history. Russia has NEVER wanted a race war with anybody, Doctor Obruchev should have been German, Ukrainian, or in fact American.… 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

I can’t even say Craig was the worst Bond as he was never really a Bond in the first place. Jason Bourne did this style on non bond spy action way better. So this non Bond isn't even worth a rewatch for a Bourne style fan.

Not really a spoiler, but will say they have a chase scene where dark helmeted riders on motorcycles come shooting out of a tree line on pursuit harking back to Roger Moore. All that was missing was the snow and a toboggan. Oh and this Bond has lots of tech and “Q” gadgets. Overall it was a chore to watch, and highly recommend re-watching last if not last couple Bond movies as several characters carry over, which can make a bit confusing at times.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really like James Bond movies. The first outing of Daniel Craig as Bond is just perfect. One of my favorite movies of all time. Then Quantum was OK, Skyfall was very cool and Spectre was kind of boring. I had high hopes for this last film, the first third of the movie is pure Bond and freaking cool at that. Then the movie starts losing speed, becomes quite boring and too woke. By the end of the movie they have you hating Bond and everything he stands for. You are not sad or surprised with his demise. I think they tried to make an Armageddon type final scene but I would not shed a tear for this woke and self hating Bond. Not one tear.… Expand

I'm not a Bond aficionado, I haven't seen anything from the old eras other than some clips, the oldest memories I have are of Pierce Brosnan's run with movies such as Die Another Day and The World Is Not Enough which my Dad used to enjoy andI'm not a Bond aficionado, I haven't seen anything from the old eras other than some clips, the oldest memories I have are of Pierce Brosnan's run with movies such as Die Another Day and The World Is Not Enough which my Dad used to enjoy and as a kid, I joined in sometimes but I hardly remember them and whenever I decide to check out the previous movies (not anytime soon), I'll have to rewatch those. I have, though, watched all of the recent ones and No Time To Die (2021) is the latest entry in the James Bond franchise and marks the end of the Daniel Craig era. An era if I look at it as a whole has certainly been entertaining but uneven, with some entries such as Casino Royale, my favourite Bond film so far, and Skyfall being awesome experiences. Now, Spectre, the one before this one, wasn't that good. It was well produced and directed but I didn't care for the story so I wasn't hyped or excited for this last one to the degree I normally would have been. After finishing No Time To Die, I can safely say it was a similar experience, albeit slightly better.

From a production standpoint, it was a well-produced and directed affair, for the most part. Cary Joji Fukunaga was at the helm this time who is famous for directing Season 1 of True Detective and as far as the audiovisual experience goes, it was a solid spy action thriller. There was some CGI stuff that was a bit iffy and the stormtrooper aim could have been lessened but oh well. The runtime is long, clocking in at around 2 hours and 40 mins, yet it had a lot packed in it in terms of action scenes, plot beats, jumping around locations and characters, tieing in material from previous films, and because of that, it didn't get completely boring despite my lack of interest in the actual story. Also, simply by being a fan of Daniel Craig and his Bond, having a sendoff experience carries some weight.

The performances were good which also helped attention retention, I have enjoyed the portrayal of Bond from Daniel Craig in every entry and this was no different with him being aged and a veteran at this point while showing vulnerability as he's looking for something more than the life he has. The supporting cast did their job well in whatever chunks of screentime they were given whether it's Ralph Fiennes as M, Lashana Lynch as the new 007, Ben Wishaw as Q, Lea Seydoux as the love interest Madeline, or Ana de Armas as the rookie agent Paloma who was not only absolutely stunning and lit up the screen with her presence, had she been in the entire movie and was the focus, I might have given this a 10/10.

Since the story takes place a while after Spectre and is a direct continuation since from what I can gather this is the most serialized Bond run, the baggage from that movie is present here. I usually am not a fan of the "It was me all along" trope as most of the time the writing isn't strong enough to pull it off well and that was exactly the case with Christoph Waltz's antagonist in the previous movie that is tied into this one while also further exacerbating the problem by having an even bigger baddy trying to raise the stakes but then completely falling flat on its face when it comes to Rami Malek's character. Somehow, Safin was worse than Blofeld and it's such a shame since James Bond isn't the same without a strong villain. Also, what a waste of a great actor. All of that combined with the love story that just isn't as strong as the movie would like you to believe, both in this and the previous one, and remembering how much better it was with Eva Green's Vesper and you now have a story that lacks the emotional connection, investment and intrigue that is required for a final outing to give you that tension, thrill, excitement and THE FEELS which would make the entire experience something to truly remember. Honestly, had they forgotten about Spectre and done their own thing and given Rami Malek more to work with (strong writing), this could have been good or even great.

Overall, I can't say I was disappointed since I had low expectations but I would have still liked to be surprised. However, the fact that during the marketing campaign, there was a lot of commotion over this being woke and Bond would be treated poorly etc because of the noise of the fandom in retaliation to click-bait articles and misinterpretations from shoddy journalism that is sadly the norm now, I was surprised to find out that wasn't the case, so that was nice. It's not a bad movie, it certainly has some entertainment value, but the story isn't good and that bogs it down A LOT. If you have enjoyed Craig's era or are a Bond completionist, give it a try. If you are not a fan of Bond and don't want to watch all of the previous films, I'll recommend giving Casino Royale a try and moving on from there depending on how you feel. And if I were to rate this, I'd give it a 6/10.… Expand

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am still processing the effect of watching the movie having seen it only a few days ago . At first i didn't know what to make of this protracted offering that as the dust settling i'm beginning to feel let down in more ways than one. Daniel's Bond appears to to be dead. That is something i had already prepared for emotionally , and having quite grown attached to daniel craig's bondi confess even though i know it was coming it was a shock element and pain . I am starting to see this particular movie as little more than simply a vehicle , a device by which bond can be killed off . This film was a never destined to give us the happily ever after that i had been hoping for with his retirement .

Is a great deal i could say about this month because i shall frame . All i will add is my dismay at the casting of the villain who appeared to be strolling through the movie suffering from a perpetual high of weed . Sometimes i could hardly hear what he was saying and at other times it didn't seem to make sense . Perhaps it's my age catching up with me;- i have followed bonds since 1962 and this is the most disappointing of any other film tired seen in this wonderful phenomenon. Blofeld - dead. Thank goodness. Very late.
Safin - dead, tick. Leiter - dead, that's bad.
Bond - probably dead. Very bad.
My soul - seriously injured, not good.… Expand

Well crafted but also weaker James Bond movie. Daniel Craig and the viewers deserved a better final movie. My main complains would be of cause the ending which is garbage, the lack of good chemistry between Daniel Craig and Lea SeydouxWell crafted but also weaker James Bond movie. Daniel Craig and the viewers deserved a better final movie. My main complains would be of cause the ending which is garbage, the lack of good chemistry between Daniel Craig and Lea Seydoux (Vesper Lynd aka Eva Green surpassed her in all categories) and that they wasted Rami Malek who is an amazing actor. It is however not as awful as expected but nowhere near the better James Bond movies. It is not a replacement of James Bond with a female 007 agent as many thought and the trailers made it look. By the way: I am not against female agents. Alias is an amazing show with Jenifer Garner that work really well and I recommend. However James Bond does not transfer well into a female character. The necessary adaptations would make it something different. Lets see how the modernization of the character will turn out for the sequel. Back to the movie: There is good action (but it could be more), satisfying stunts, the visuals are amazing, Daniel Craig delivers and it has its moments. This was the last time Daniel Craig will be James Bond. I still remembered that the fans were up in arms when he was announced for Casino Royale. Today he is a frequent contender for best James Bond actor. He left his mark and impact and I want to thank him for this. After a flashback the story starts with James Bond and Madeline Swann visiting a smaller Italian town where he wants to visit Vesper Lynd’s grave. However this really turns into a fight for survival as they were attacked and a fallout happens. A few years later the past catches up to a retired James Bond when an old friend asks for a favor. So starts the story. It is the longest James Bond so far and they could have shorten it a bit. Not all scenes are great or necessary. The rest hits more than it misses but especially the ending ruins this experience. I wont spoil anything as you can easily see this referenced by a lot of reviews aka people. It is fresh and unique but definitely the last thing many want to see in a James Bond movie ever. Cast: Daniel Craig as James Bond might be getting older but always delivered his role and this movie is not different. Good performance but I wished he got better final movie. Lea Seydoux is a good actress without a doubt. Sadly she has not a good chemistry with James Bond as Madeleine Swann. Nearly everyone will say that Vesper Lynd as Eva Green is the gold standard. Rami Malek as Lyutsifer Safin is wasted. He has not much or enough time to shine and often disappears in the background. I might be the minority that likes Lashana Lynch as Nomi. Good performance and all the problems I put on the script. Jeffrey Wrigth returns as Felix Leitner. I truly enjoy the actor and his role. Ben Whishaw as Q and Gareth Mallory as M are just weaker than their previous counterparts. The banter with Q and M was often an enjoyable highlight in former movies. It is mixed here in this regard. Like I said visually the movie is amazing as are the action scenes and stunts. The soundtrack is divisive in my circle of friends. Before anyone comes to the wrong conclusion: It is not about the talents or performance of Billie Eilish. She is talent and there are no missteps in it. We had a lot of talks and are divided. For some this is the best James Bond song or far up while others including me find it a good homage but so boring. Overall this is hard to rate. The ending wants me to give a 1/10 as I do not believe in 0/10 outside of videogames (EA and Fallout 76 have taught me a lesson). However it is not garbage and carefully made even with the flaws. I think a 5/10 is valid. It could have been far worse.… Expand

This is pretty much the first Bond movie, where the movie plot (who the villain is, and how the hell did he get all his resources to build his evil empire, etc) actually takes a back seat to his personnel life.

This movie is a chick flick love story, and not a Bond movie. It will get great reviews because of that (Bond showing that he is 'human', 'emotional' has a 'soft side' etc).

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. I was more interested in what the hell Rami Maliks motivation was for everything he was doing than whether Bond was gonna find out he had a daughter with his ex!! Are you serious???… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. No Time to Die features exciting action and striking imagery, but is full of questionable choices. 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

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

Craig always seemed closer to the angry, grumpy action hero, that Dalton played, rather than the suave spy, played by Connery, Moore and Brosnan. It would be nice to return to that form of actor, by giving us a cool, smooth actor, like Chiwetel Ejiofor, rather than yet another action hero, like Idris Elba.
If action heroes are your thing, you'll find another, overly long, Bond in name only, action movie, here. Like Skyfall, expect a big, middle act lull, before an unsatisfying climax.
It's by the beats and doesn't differentiate itself from any of the other Craig Bond movies, or indeed most action movies, over the past 15 years. It plays it safe. Has some unfunny quips, some loudly telegraphed twists and on the whole will be easily forgotten.

Movie was too slow in an attempt to make you cry. This movie needed a happily ever after ending to save it. Confusing at times figuring out who, what, why! The Villain was very weak, too.

Craig's heart doesn't seem in this movie at all. There are way too many characters and plot points that could easily have been cut out. You barely care about half the cast. Action scenes were good but nothing noteworthy. Plot scenes came fast and furious with lots of jumping around and volume/tone/color changes that made them hard to see and hear - or care about. Sadly you can already see them prepping the woke reboots using the all-new cast because they very clearly killed and/or replaced every single possible villain and classic character role with the diversity checklist. Hollywood, if we wanted to get preached at, we'd go to a church. We don't need you ham-fistedly hacking up plot points and characters to cover your checklist of woke-isms. The Bond franchise is dead and it ended with a sad whimper, not a bang.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Where to start? Maybe the main point to address is that this movie is a big big wasted opportunity. The 2/3 of the movie are really fine. While everything is to long and could be cut down without losing anything, it is Bond at its best. It is fun, great action, great acting and really feels like Bond.

However, the last third is totally disconnected. Once the finale starts I had the feeling of being in a very different movie, maybe in an episode of an old, bad 60ies spy series if that makes sense? We get the weakest Bond villain of all time, he has no motive, no agenda to speak of, he feels like a villain meme. Everything going on in his base makes no sense and is visually very ver strange.

Another problem that thing has is trying to connect all movies. Bond should not be serialized, just make one good movie at a time. Casino Royal is awesome because of this fact, they didn't know what will come and just made the best Bond movie the could. What I really have to praise is Ana de Armas. She is so good, her character is the best thing the movie has to offer and I'd love the see an spin-off with her in the lead. There is so much potential there and she is a great actress!

All in all I hope the next Bond incarnation will go back to the roots of the franchise. We need a modern incarnation of the Connery era bond movies. Not a feminized something where Bond fights his inner demons more than he fights the big bad guys.… Expand

Despite being the finale to Daniel Craig's rendition of James Bond, "No Time to Die" feels limp. Its fight scenes are bland and uninspired, Bond survives ridiculous scenarios that are ludicrously stupid even for this series' standards, and the main villain is about as cookie cutter as bad guys get. On top of all that, you have Lea Seydoux's performance as one of the most forgettable Bond girls of all time. Frankly speaking, her character's scenes were a chore to sit through, and rarely did it feel as though she and Daniel Craig had any chemistry. To touch back on the film's main villain briefly, his motivations are convoluted and non-sensical, and the "We are the same you and I" approach he takes to speaking with Bond has been done to death in about a billion other movies. "No Time to Die" may not be the most egregiously bad movie you'll see, but there's nothing here that we haven't seen time and time again in other Bond flicks. What a weak farewell this is.

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.

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

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.

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.
