James Bond No Time to Die

[TrevorW]

To me this the last for Daniel Craig must be the best if not the best close too JAMES BOND movie of all times, anyone else seen it and how would you rate it.

For me, "Skyfall" is the best JB movie of all time. The whole Daniel Craig series have been pretty solid (I really like the grittier style than earlier incarnations), but "No Time To Die" only rates at about 7/10 for me.

Rumours are that the movie was re-worked pretty heavily shortly before its original scheduled release date in late 2019, and again when Covid hit, and I think it shows in quite a few plot holes and disjointed themes.

No spoilers - but I really can't wait to see where the franchise goes next!

Who knows? There was talk of a Jane Bond.

And that will be the end of the James Bond experience for me.

Waiting to see this latest Danial Craig instalment along with the movie Dune. This should finish out a crap year nicely.

NTTD was a LOT better than the previous junk one...Spectre. That was a yawn fest. NTTD at least was very human, very gritty and a touch sad.



Dune. I was severely disappointed with it. Better than the original, but overly long, not overly enthralling but with some decent CGI making it bearable. Can't tell you where I saw it (in HD at that) but it's been out a while...

Going to see it next week. Can't wait.

Spectre was really bad.

Never been a massive James Bond fan, but I don't find Daniel Craig all that compelling as James Bond - always reminds me of a Russian Gangster who's nose has been broken one to many times.

I have to say I was rather disappointed in this last instalment in the Daniel Craig Bond line. It was neither good nor bad but rather meh. This could have been so much better. The Villain (Rami Malek) just wasn't convincing enough and where did the bad guys learn to shoot ... the same school as Storm Troopers? Nah ... Skyfall remains my favourite Bond film of all time and I would rate Spectre better than No Time to Die by far. My 2 cents worth.

Also, Q lost his boyish charm in this movie. I liked the banter between Bond and Q evident in Skyfall and Spectre which was missing in No Time To Die.

I didn't mind it at all although I did fall asleep in between a few explosions. Totally unrelated though

Wait for Dune Marc… they’ll be kicking you out for snoring
