- 匚卂尺ㄥJanuary 29, 2025╾━╤デ╦︻(▀̿Ĺ̯▀̿ ̿) 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.
- Manuel Frangis7d agoI just watched No Time to Die, and I give it 5 out of 5 stars. This movie hit every note I wanted it to. It is emotional, intense, stylish, and packed with everything that makes a great Bond film, but it also does something a little deeper. It gives James Bond a real sense of closure. It is not just another mission. It is personal, it is heavy, and it is one of the best send-offs I have seen in a long time. Daniel Craig delivers one of his best performances in the role. You can tell from the start that this Bond is tired. He is not just the smooth secret agent we are used to. There is a weight to him. He feels more real, more human. There are still the big stunts, the gadgets, and the fights, but there is also this layer of vulnerability that gives the movie so much more heart. You really feel like you are watching the end of a chapter. The action is incredible. There are shootouts, car chases, hand to hand fights, and it is all done with so much style. Every action scene feels intense without ever becoming hard to follow. The pacing is great, and the movie knows when to slow down and give space to the characters. That balance between action and emotion is what makes it work so well. You are not just watching explosions. You are watching characters trying to hold onto something in the middle of chaos. The supporting cast is also strong. Léa Seydoux returns as Madeleine, and her connection with Bond feels even more developed and complicated this time. Rami Malek plays the villain, and while his character is a little more mysterious and quiet, he brings this calm intensity that keeps you on edge. Lashana Lynch and Ana de Armas both steal their scenes in different ways. One is tough and grounded, the other brings high energy and style in just a few short moments. Every character has a purpose. The visuals are stunning. The movie takes you all over the world, from quiet countryside hideouts to high-tech labs and old European cities. Every location feels big and cinematic. The cinematography is sharp, the colors are rich, and the way the camera moves through some of the action scenes is just beautiful. You can pause it at any point and get a frame that looks like a poster. The music is also great. Hans Zimmer did the score this time, and he brings in a mix of classic Bond sounds with new emotional themes that really stand out. Billie Eilish’s opening song fits the tone perfectly. The title sequence is stylish and moody, setting up the film’s atmosphere right from the beginning. I give No Time to Die 5 out of 5 stars because it is bold, emotional, and full of unforgettable moments. It gives Bond the kind of ending that actually means something, and that is not something you see often in these kinds of movies. Overall No Time to Die is more than just another Bond movie. It is a farewell, a final chapter, and a story about sacrifice, legacy, and what it really means to care about something bigger than yourself. I loved every second of it.
