A great addition to the 007 franchise. It's not without a couple of flaws, but overall it's an amazing movie. Action sequences are well executed, the plot is interesting and locations are beautiful.
Craig does a perfect job in portraying BondA great addition to the 007 franchise. It's not without a couple of flaws, but overall it's an amazing movie. Action sequences are well executed, the plot is interesting and locations are beautiful.
Craig does a perfect job in portraying Bond and the traits you would expect from the character. Léa Seydoux acting is once again phenomenal. The new agent is interesting, has a good actress and participates perfectly with the plot and pace of the movie, she doesn't overstay her welcome and manages to be likable and relevant.
The villain is so much better than Blofeld. Rami Malek was a great choice for this role, unfortunately he doesn't get big personal moments (like Silva in Skyfall) that could make us interested in his reasons and plans, but he still delivers a good villain even though the writing could be better for him.
Ana de Armas' participation was interesting but too short, so I can't help but feel like they wasted a bit of potential here, although I didn't care too much for the character's humor. The same can be said for Valdo's humor.
Craig's Bond is my favorite and so are the movies, this was a great conclusion to this run of the franchise (that wasn't perfect, but still awesome and the best one so far in my opinion).… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Save your $ and your time. Because it's a crime to be a masculine man in the times we live in, Bond dies an unnecessary death. While alive, he takes a backseat to a ton of forgettable side characters (one of which takes his number as 007 for some reason). He also acts nothing like the Bond that the franchise has been presenting for 60 years, instead he's generic white male now. This is as bad as that new Double or Nothing book. There are holes so big in this plot, that the plot seems more like islands of story strung together. If you're a fan of the series, this does it no justice.… Expand

While Daniel Craig's turn as James Bond was on the whole a successful one, the last 2 efforts in this franchise have been a real disappointment. An under-developed villian along with a bloated and rather dull story really let this movie down.

Christ this is overrated, or at least is was when it first came out. 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 ridiculousChrist this is overrated, or at least is was when it first came out. 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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's hard to decide what is worse - the romantic scenes meant to show that Bond is not just a merciless killer he's also a man with a heart or the action scenes full of CGI but lacking any excitement or tension. 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

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.

Crazy shoot outs and stunts were over the top at times and felt more like a Tom Cruise action movie. 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

It's the second Bond movie I'd call actually good (the first was Casino Royale), and it's the best I've seen, ever. There is a complex, smart story that has no dumb moments. It doesn't explain but instead show, consistently all the way through. There is character development, real growth, the characters are nuanced and interesting, and the movie doesn't regurgitate the same old story. Of course it's visually beautiful with a great score, too, but the same could have been said for plenty of 007 movies.

What a way to end a chapter in the franchise. The ending is sad, not only for the character, but for what all the movies could have been if they had been a bit more like this.… Expand

Also, although there are nice musical cues from HMSS (and I guess the film to an extent re-tells the ending of HMSS in with a twist) the almost complete lack of the bond theme throughout really detracts. On more positive notes, it is a good conclusion to the Daniel Craig era, which has really told a single story linked across the films, rather than each standing alone. It's also nice to see the standard bond plot being shaken up, rather than repeating much the same story, which while entertaining has rather run it's course. Also, the use of a black actress to portray "007" through much of the movie is quite entertaining, and clearly a fun little dig at the more prejudice members of society. Overall, definitely worth watching despite some short comings. I would have scored a 6, but have added a couple of marks to help add some balance for those unfortunates who were upset about a black woman being 007, and clearly not spotting that the joke was on them.… 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

Now let's go to the bad part, This movie got the most boring bond villain's ever, like what motivates him to destroy other innocent peoples lives? what motivates him to kill people in the first place? sure the peformance of Rami Malek in this movie is good enough to not make him not the worst bond villain but still in my opinion Safin is the second most worst villain in the Craig era ever, but in the end what a good ending for the Craig era.… 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

Visuals are as usual stunning throughout the movie. It was a pleasure to witness homage to the gadgets in the car. There are enough thrilling scenes added to the nostalgia of a Bond movie. A strong villain was always the backbone of Bond films, but, here the build up was amazing, yet failed to creatively craft the villain, or his strength. That was the biggest drawback of the film, among other few things.… 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

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. 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.

Related media: I have seen all of the official Bond films. The previous film, Spectre, was disappointing.

What's it like? Bond has quit MI6 and wants to spend his time with his love, Madeline, but her secrets come back to haunt both of them, turning into a big problem and causing many casualties.

Positives: 1) There are many, many good action scenes in this film and you are really getting your money's worth here. Considering that it costs $250m, which is less than the lousy Spectre's $300m and just slightly more than the other lousy Quantum of Solace's $230m, this is money very well spent.

2) The story is rather good. Do not buy into the negative and sexist criticisms of the story-writing. Bond has been evolving since Craig's first film, even being very different in Casino Royale to pre-Craig Bond films. I don't think the majority would want to watch a womanising, woman-slapping and frivolous woman-killing spy in the 21st century. Negatives:

1) The ending really creates a big problem for the future. It's like Marvel killing off half of the superheroes and then needing to use time-travel to fix it later on.

2) The ending is rather unlike past Bonds, who can find a solution where there is obviously none. 3) Many of the physics in the film are just plain wrong. Bombs exploding close to you will kill you due to the blast pressure, or at least permanently deafen you, a high-speed glider transitioning from air to water would break apart in the water, missiles can be disabled mid-flight and nano-bots able to selectively kill are two aspects that are like the hated invisible car of Tomorrow Never Dies.

How would the different age groups rate it? Children: Not rated for children.

Teens: Good - they would not appreciate it as much.

Young adults: Good.

Medium age adults: Excellent - this is a film for this age group. Old adults: Good only, because they would still prefer the old Bond. My rating: 4/5 (no half scores). Worth it to watch it in the cinema.… 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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. E-Value: 9
Acting: 9
Plot: 9

Since having played James Bond beginning with 2006’s Casino Royale, No Time to Die is officially the fifth and final instalment with Daniel Craig in the role. After being delayed due to change of director and COVID-19 pandemic where theatres all over the world were closed, the finale movie is finally here to be watch on the big screen for good.

After the events of Spectre, James Bond (Craig) have retired from active service in the MI6 and currently in a relationship with Dr. Madeleine Swann (Seydoux). During their holiday trip in Italy, Spectre assassins attacks Bond while he is visiting Vesper Lynd’s grave. Believed that Madeleine betrays Bond due to her late father, Mr. White, was part of Spectre, he left her.

Five years later, Bond have been living in Jamaica alone until his old friend from the CIA, Felix Leiter along with Logan Ash from State Department asking for his help to locate Dr. Valdo Obruchev, who have abducted from MI6 by a terrorist group led by Lyutsifer Safin (Malek). At first he refuse to help and wanting to stay out of it until he meets Nomi, an MI6 agent who inherited Bond’s former designation, 007. She informs Bond about Project Heracles which was created by Dr. Obruchev. After contacting M (played by Ralph Fiennes) to know more about the project and learning that he was the one who approved it, he choose to help Felix in what appears to be his final mission.

Having watched all of Daniel Craig’s James Bond movies, this movie is one of the best in his version of the character. The writing in this movie is very well written. This movie does what the previous James Bond movies that have never done before which one of them is giving a satisfying conclusion to Craig’s James Bond. The previous movies played by the other actors do not even a conclusion to their respective stories. Not only that, the movie also tied up all loose ends that have set up in the last four movies. By doing that, this brings a permanent end to Craig’s James Bond movies with no more follow ups or potential spin off.

Since this is the final chapter of Craig’s James Bond movie, the cast definitely bring out their best performances especially Daniel Craig and Rami Malek. I’m very impressed that Daniel Craig still have the charismatic and acting skills to play the character for 15 years which means he played the character much more longer than the late Roger Moore despite the latter played the character seven times. I’m sure the late actor would be proud of him. As for Rami Malek, he not only played a very good villain character but also a theatening and more villainous. In addition with the writing of this movie, his character also does what the previous Bond villains have never done before. Due to heavy spoilers, I will not reveal what he have done in the movie. Credits also goes to Cary Joji Fukunaga for his great direction for this finale. I don’t know if he actually done better than Danny Boyle, the original director before he left, but Cary did a great job regardless.

It was really sad to see Daniel Craig in his final role as James Bond in this movie. I could not figure out if anyone else could have been chosen for the role if he was not casted. Nevertheless, I think he portrayed James Bond the best. This movie is the end of an era of Daniel Craig’s James Bond. New actor will step up to replace him. While it may be the end of his James Bond but it is not the end of the franchise.… Expand

Eh, I wasn't into it. One of the best sequences in this movie was the one with Paloma, because it was fun, action-packed, and because Daniel Craig and Ana de Armas have great chemistry with one another.

The rest of it... I get that others may see it differently, but I honestly feel like there was WAY too much focus on Madeleine Swann, and Bond's relationship with her. His relationship with Vesper Lynd in the earlier movies was wound in with the core things you expect from a Bond movie, but in this one the relationship honed in on a lot of the action (including the expense of characters I might have liked to see more of, like Moneypenny, Q, Mallory, Tanner, Paloma, etc.… Expand

I've especially liked Craig's take on Bond. And though Craig did a decent job in this movie, I found the story ludicrous and boring. Bond's relationship with Madeline was sad. He looked old enough to be her father. Everything about this movie seemed to me like a bad Marvel movie. This was not Bond. It was just another action hero. Other than Bond and M, everyone was played by young actors making Bond look even older and worn out.… Expand

Great send off for Daniel Craig. The movie isn't perfect but it's definitely up there as one of his better Bond performances. Wish we would have had more screen time with Ana De Armas.

However, the undefeatable superhero guise of Bond that began with Spectre continues here through the relentless quest to Marvel-ize every action movie to hit the cinema here on after.… Expand

For a long time, womenTime was, you could depend on the latest James Bond flick to offer reliably frivolous fun. When taking over the Bond role, Roger Moore famously said that “good teeth” was one of his major contributions to the role. For a long time, women were interchangeable props, evil was well-defined and all seemed right with the world. “No Time to Die,” Daniel Craig’s finale as Bond, demonstrates emphatically that it is not your father’s, or grandfather’s, version of the franchise.

The script by veteran writers Neal Purvis and Robert Wade is presumably leavened at points by contributions from Director Cary Joji Fukunaga (who directed the amazing “True Detective” Season 1) and Phoebe Waller-Bridge (“Fleabag,” “Killing Eve”). Apparently none of the group was an editor. The circuitous plot runs almost three hours, so bring along plenty of snacks (or a catheter, your call). The opening scene shows Bond’s idyllic getaway to Italy with love interest Madeleine (an excellent Lea Seydoux), who was first introduced in 2015’s “Spectre.” Soon enough, he’s nearly blown up. In a stunning plot twist, it turns out Bond has enemies. Arch-villain Lyutsfier Safin (see what they did there?!) has created nanobots programmed with poisons individualized to the DNA of his targets. The world hangs in the balance. Bombs, gunfire, car chases, missile strikes and general carnage appear as necessary. Yada, yada. As always, the plot is not the strong point here.

Two elements make the Daniel Craig iteration of this series worthwhile. First, a lot of fabulous actors have continued to turn up. Ben Whishaw (Q), Ralph Fiennes (M), Cristoph Waltz (Blofeld), Jeffrey Wright (the seventh actor to play CIA agent Felix Leiter in the series) and Ana de Armas (who temporarily steals the show as a clever, enthusiastic junior agent with three weeks of special training) are all excellent. There’s even a new agent (Lashana Lynch) who’s Black, badass and has appropriated the designation 007.

But what truly sets apart this film, the last five Bond films actually, is Craig’s interpretation of the role. He’s much more self-aware - and worse for wear - than his invulnerable predecessors. He’s wrestling explicitly with trusting and caring about the important people in his life. Themes of loyalty and loss permeate the script. As a result of Bond’s humanity, the storyline becomes more serious and more somber because there’s so much more at stake. This Bond is aware that life is filled with choices that have consequences and that he can’t stand above the fray. This film’s sense of finality and conclusion is further heightened by its incorporation of references to other films in the series – an island fortress (“Dr. No”), a spear gun (“Thunderball”), a visitor badge (not a hat) that is tossed to its perfect resting place in M’s outer office. And there’s the film’s closing number, Louis Armstrong’s “We Have All the Time in the World,” which was the theme for 1969’s “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.” It all helps to create a sense of wistful retrospective.

What gets short shrift in all this is the villainy. Rami Malik’s Safin never reaches the epic proportions of past criminal masterminds. Christoph Waltz’ reprise as Blofeld is short-lived, literally. But there’s plenty of mayhem and derring-do to make up for this minor shortcoming.

Overall, “No Time to Die” is a very worthwhile installment for this franchise. Because Bond is playing for higher emotional stakes, the whole enterprise is much more satisfying. “No Time to Die” offers a story that is surprisingly stirring. Not shaken, not stirred, just right.… Expand
