Again, this doesn’t ruin the movie because you’re caught up in the thrills of the ending, but realistically the writing about the dangerous technology could’ve been a little tighter. If that’s not enough, one of the gadgets Q gives to Bond ideally should be able to help Bond, but because of the plot, it simply doesn’t. The technology that is weaponized in the film definitely poses a real threat to both Bond and the entire world, but it’s a bit odd as to how the writing for this movie put itself in a corner.įor example, the technology is so advanced that even the resident tech genius Q can’t possibly figure out any solutions to it. That is, unless you think a little deeper about it. The predicament he finds himself in at the end of the movie creates a really dramatic position for Bond. It’s pretty obvious that this movie was designed to be a send off for James Bond. No Time To Die had a couple of minor issues that really don’t hinder the movie much. I loved how she stepped into the role with ease and she had me very intrigued in learning more about her past missions that earned her the 007 title. Lashana Lynch as “Nomi”, the current 007, made her presence felt as well. Her character came in to entertain, and left audiences wanting more in her brief appearance.
Ana De Armas was so much fun to watch as “Paloma”.
Lastly, while Daniel Craig had the main spotlight, the supporting cast was full of great talent. As a result, the ending of No Time To Die is that much more satisfying. That dreadful feeling only fueled the importance of Bond’s mission more so than ever before. Even if it felt like a bit of a gimmick, you couldn’t deny the sense of urgency it carried if it fell into the wrong hands. I liked how it was it tied into the plot of the film and the dire consequence that came along with it. Speaking of tech, the technology used in No Time To Die was rather intriguing. That includes fun moments like when Bond meets with Q to receive his gadgets, or Bond simply asking for his drink to be shaken and not stirred. Even if they did feel a bit rehashed, the nostalgia was still appreciated. There were so many memorable moments thrown into No Time To Die that pulled from the traditional James Bond movie formula. If you’re a James Bond fan, then you’ll certainly appreciate the classic weapons used in those thrilling scenes. The car chase scenes were incredibly intense. This made so many of the action scenes in the movie that much more enjoyable.
Not only that, but he still managed to exude an air of extraordinary confidence as he smoothly blew up any enemy that got in his way. I loved the way how he was able to show a more vulnerable side to his character throughout many of the more dramatic scenes in the film. His performance as the charismatic British spy was exceptional. No Time To Die had a lot of positive things going for it, but the heart of it all is certainly Daniel Craig as James Bond. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. In No Time To Die, Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica.
