Indeed, at the end of this one the two 007s easily wipe out his entire evil lair of henchmen with no back-up. Saffin kind of reminded me of how they tried to hype up Robert Carlyle in TWINE by having other characters be shit scared of him, but then Bond turns him over easily at the end. I don't know who or what a Billie Eilish is, and I enjoy a very diverse range of music genres, but I can only describe the style of this song as sounding like a hoarse tween who's just been sent a dead cat in a box. My biggest criticism of No Time To Die is just the theme song. The laugh-a-minute approach that certain Disney/Marvel products take just irritates me, but I was never annoyed at the humor in this film, and even laughed out loud a few times, especially at the remark Bond makes about Q's cat. This was also the funniest of the Craig Bond films, and I new that going in and wasn't sure how I'd feel about it. This was probably the first film in which I felt like they gave the Mallory iteration of M some depth. The Judi Dench and Bernard Lee cameos were a nice touch. I wasn't bothered by the runtime, but I prefer long-running movies.
ONE WITH YOU SYLVIA DAY SPOILERS MOVIE
People criticize that Safin/Rami Maleck wasn't given enough screen time but honestly, this movie packs so much in that I'm not sure you could fit anymore Safin into it.

I counted two F-bombs in this film.did I mishear? One from M and one from Bond himself when he cracks the Mormon joke?Īnyway, I enjoyed the hell out of it. Overall, I'd also give it a solid 8/10, and for the Craig films, I'd say it's the third best after Skyfall and Casino Royale. Rami Maleck was good, but I would have like a bit more. I wish he had spent more time doing something on screen, so his death had more impact. I would have liked more with Felix, and Logan Ash was a wasted character. While I didn't feel the length of the movie, I do feel that some characters were underserved. Nice to get another classic Bond-type henchman in Primo. White's hotel room in Spectre, and he visits her grave here. She was his lover in Casino Royale, he avenged her in Quantum of Solace, he found her interrogation tape in Mr. Is Vesper Lynd the most consequential Bond girl of the Craig films? Maybe it's just the fact that they never really carried Bond girls over into more than one film (Tracy being an exception), But Vesper has been in, or has been invoked, in four out of five of the Craig films. No and Bloefeld's volcano lair in You Only Live Twice.ĭaniel Craig also felt like he was channeling Sean Connery at times, something he really hasn't done that much in his series. Safin's lair also called back to both Dr. When Bond and M meet on the streets of London, the score calls back to the theme of 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service'- one of MANY callbacks to that movie. But what you might have missed was the painting of Bernard Lee's M that was right next to his seat.

When Mallory was sitting in a hallway, you of course saw the painting of Judi Dench's M across from him. When Bond goes to his storage locker to get his other Astin Martin, as the door opens you can see, in shadow, the bulldog statue M left to him in Skyfall. This movie also had a lot of callbacks- but they were done subtly, and with more class. And in that movie they placed a lot of callbacks to the older Bond films, usually in very loud and in-your-face ways. When The World is Not Enough came out, it was an anniversary year for Bond.

It's a good send-off for the Daniel Craig era of James Bond.

Honestly, these guys sound so fragile its unbelievable.Īll in all, I'd give No Time to Die an 8/10. The anti-SJW crowd have been crying about the movie.people really need to watch the stuff their critiquing because this movie did not have any overt political message (except if people are offended by Q being gay or a black, female 007.who gave the title designation right back to James Bond in the middle of the film). In this instance it just seemed rather unnecessary especially now that James Bond had a family. But I don't know why modern film makers feel the need to end the heroes journey in death. I guess this is cleaning the deck for an entirely new type of James Bond. The sheer brutality of the fights was a bit surprising for a PG-13 film. The action sequences were brilliant though and lots of them featured single, long takes which is always welcome. The plot was a little wonky with the "bioweapon" thing and the villain a little weaker (that's not to say that Rami Malek did a bad job, just that he wasn't really in the movie all that much). It's very much in the Casino Royale/Skyfall mould in that it's a much, much, much more personal James Bond movie.
