No Time To Die was indeed a great way to end Daniel Craig’s tenure as James Bond. The film has had some interesting stuff like: Felix coming back, Bond becoming a broken and wounded character that Craig did, the opening credits giving us a callback to some previous bond films, and even some emotional depth to the story. Madeline Swann was much better in this one and she’s been given some more screen time. Although Felix Leiter and Blofeld’s deaths were shocking, Daniel Craig’s version of James Bond’s death was sad and devastating, but a great end to Daniel Craig’s tenure as bond. His performance was always electrifying and never disappoints me. He was also a great Bond as well, becoming more of a broken, wounded, cold, heavy and brutal Bond that he was from his 15 year run from the series. There were a couple of minor flaws sometimes, in which I can’t remember in this flick. On the other hand, Ana de Armas was beautiful, funny, fantastic and kick's butt in action as Paloma. The action sequences were exciting, nail biting and suspenseful. There were some emotional moments and tense scenes and powerful moments too. Rami Malek as Safin, in my opinion was scary and creepy. The pre credits was really great and action packed as well. The score by Hans Zimmer was great too. Plus, the score having callbacks and musical cues of On Her Majesty's Secret Service and Casino Royale was a nice touch and executed really well. Billie Eilish’s song was chilling and haunting, it even fits well with the opening titles with callbacks to classic bond title sequences from past films like: Dr. No, Thunderball, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Goldfinger, From Russia with Love and some bits of Goldeneye and Die Another Day. Although Bond's death disappointed or confused some fans, to me; it's a really great and emotional scene for Craig to have his powerful and emotional end from his long serving run as James Bond, after 15 years. NOTE AND SPOILER ALERT: Make sure to stay during and until the end of the closing credits, because the credits say and confirm the four words that every Bond fan wants to see: “JAMES BOND WILL RETURN.” Yes, we're actually going to get another Bond film in the near future with a new actor coming on board. Hopefully when Bond 26 gets underway for sometime, we’re hoping the next Bond can bring another or similar take to either actor who formerly played bond and maybe go back to the old fashioned and fun Bond that we've missed and had from 1962 through 2002. Go check this film out, you don’t want to miss it! We can't wait to see who the next James Bond will be for Bond 26 in the near future. I hope that Henry Cavill gets the Bond role. Even though the film may not gross that much as other films from the past did, I hope the film gets awards someday. Maybe, Craig should get the best actor in leading role award at the Oscars for his performance in this film.
