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

No Time To is a perfect end to Daniel Craig's Bond era, it starts off absolutely amazing through the 1 and 2nd act and though the 3rd is slower, it's still an entertaining and emotional end to an era

Every movie I've been waiting patiently for the franchise to return to it's roots. Every movie I've been disappointed. With this newest entry, I feel betrayed. Never in a million years would I have ever thought I'd see the day where a James Bond movie would show Bond being a d** and Bond being k*****. This latest movie is an insult to Ian Fleming, to all of the late-great actors to portray the character, and the fans. I couldn't care less were the franchise goes from here on out. They can cast whichever black, non-binary, overweight woman to play James Bond that they'd like; I won't be spending a single penny to see it. This is what this movie has effectively done to a die-hard Bond fan who watched his first Bond film (The Spy Who Loved Me) in first grade: black-pilled him.… Expand

Pour moi la grosse erreur est d’avoir une suite du film Spectre qui était déjà très moyen. Mais la c’est encore pire, pourquoi vouloir autant impliquer autant Madeleine dans le film dont le jeu d’acteur laisse à désirer et pourquoi orienter le film sur cette relation qui à coup, allait être tellement moins passionnante que dans Casino Royal. Pourquoi vouloir afficher James Bond avec des yeux turquoise, c’est la tout simplement ignoble et irréaliste. Seul point positif les scènes d’actions sont vraiment réussis… 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

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

It's far too unorthodox and inspired by social-cultural fads. It has far, far too much emphasis on Craig and his departure than Bond and his never-ending quest/fight. The movie is convoluted, far too long and self-indulgent with a very insulting end to all Bond fans. As good as Craig is, he doesn't sum up Bond. He is not the all and end-all of Bond and this movie is not satisfying nor a send-off that Bond fans should get.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Film went off to a good start... then went downhill from there. It feels rushed, especially the last hour. A lot of characters crammed in with no real purpose. A long film drawn out with more unnecessary drama. Film lacked a style and purpose like previous bond films. The Villain was underused and was merely a side quest. The film mainly choosing to focus on bond's relationship with his wife and daughter, but it lacked real connection between the characters. Bond was more connected with vesper lynd... Blofeld's character was just made a mockery of and wasted off easily, why would you do this to Christoper Waltz?. The ending poison garden set was created almost as if it was meant to be a remake of 1962's Dr No, but took a turn during mid production (is this why Danny Boyle left?). The female 007 agent was again just another random addition/side character that had no purpose. Paloma's character was underused. If you want to treat bond as a side character, then do this... Have Paloma face off against Nomi and have Blofeld escape prison, reactivate spectre and fight against Safin competing against a plot to take over the world (or something similar). Hoping they learn lessons from this film and start to make something more like the connery, dalton and early craig years for true bond experience.… 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

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

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

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

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.

Eu gostei muito do filme, algumas coisas me incomodaram como piadinhas em momentos que não precisavam e pouco uso do vilão e de alguns personagens. Filme emocionante ainda mais pra quem acompanhou o James Bond do Daniel Craig desde o início.

In my opinion, there is one rule that applies to Bond films with Daniel Craig, and that is alternating quality. Casino Royale was great for me, Quantum of Solace was good, Skyfall was great again and Spectre was above average. So I wasIn my opinion, there is one rule that applies to Bond films with Daniel Craig, and that is alternating quality. Casino Royale was great for me, Quantum of Solace was good, Skyfall was great again and Spectre was above average. So I was wondering if it would work this time and if the cards would turn in favour of No Time to Die, and I mean great film again. Here, that little quality rule of mine has been proven true, and the latest Bond with Craig is great again. 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

My main criticism is directed at the writing. There was nothing explaining the motivations of the villains, no interesting personal interactions and no overarching plot. It's just a loose collection of scenes that make no sense in relation to each other. Supposed professionals act like unprofessional children. People change their minds on big issues at a whim.

The ending left me "yeah whatever". This franchise is dead, in more ways than one.… 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

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

Incoherent generic plot, long ponderous soapy melodrama regarding Bond's ludicrous zero-chemistry love interest, more plot holes than I care to recount and almost no nifty gadgets...
The movie is not completely rotten, there's a cool glider-thingy, some cool stunt-work before the opening titles and a nifty -if bonkers- bit of action in Cuba, featuring a pitch-perfect performance from Ana de Armas as Paloma.
So was this movie worth the wait?

There was no plot, too many characters, way too heavily based on romance and rushed for being a 2 hour and 43 minute runtime. Sam Mendes was a fantastic director - gave us some truly iconic shots of Bond. This just felt like a Fast and Furious/Jurassic Park (you’ll know when you see it) movie searching for an award. I’ve never been disappointed by Craig’s Bond - and while his performance never has and didn’t disappoint, they really did him a disservice by shoving every plot line/story/romance novel they could into this movie. Also, pick less of a douche-bag, more talented actor than the one that was picked to play Ash… he completely cheapened the movie.

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 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

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.

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

You wanted to be in the exotic sets like Greece, a volcano, New Orleans, under the ocean, a snowy resort, etc. And no matter where he went, the hottest most attractive ladies would want to bang James. However these Daniel Craig ones are 100% anti-james bond. Dark gritty ugly unfunny unsmart unsexy. You do not want to be JB. A dirty dark london street, a dirty dark prison, a dark dreary forest, a dark dimly lit cuban bar? Nolan-like confusing fight scenes? This JB is pure garbage. SPOILERS: the new story is opposite of tradition JB. Apparently he's not a womanizer now. Maybe he's a dad? Maybe he likes plain girls now? Maybe he DOESN'T bang the hot sexy cuban lady. He visits exotic locations you DON'T want to go to. I'm sure JB learned how to cliff dive at some point in his training, so dont even try at the end. The 2 villains in this installment are boring AF. 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. The era where you had to travel by foot instead of talking on a cellphone or reading blips on a computer screen saying the next plot point. I want to see a compound underneath easter island only accessible via a ferrari submarine and bang a girl named Easter Surprise.… Expand

I thought it was a bit boring and somewhat predictable to be honest. Maybe this franchise has been played out? In another week, I'll forget that I ever saw this movie.

I enjoy Bond for what it is, mindless action, gadgets, witty repertoire, car chase scenes, some sexism/machoism etc etc. For the most part this movie checks all the boxes. At the same time, this is the first Bond movie where I was actually bored. My wife tells me to get with the times, and Bond has to evolve to match society in the 21st century, and I try, but:

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). Heck, should of realized what they were doing as the opening scene was almost a verbatim of the ending of Her majesties secret service......"we have all the time in the world"....

Oh well, Bond went out with a fizzle not a bang.… 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

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.

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

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

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

At 3 hours long in length, it is a comprehensive finale for what many consider as the best Bond (most successful at the very least) in history. In here, Craig gave his all in his performances, both physically and emotionally. Obviously, he had a very negative comment after finishing Specter that was often misquoted. But audiences should realize that making these films are hard and arduous. Specter was made almost back to back to the successful Skyfall...and the results were quite obvious. This time around, the team had 'all the time in the world' to craft a film to the best of their abilities. The results showed in spades.… 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

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

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
