I think it was great. That being said they don't have to make every movie stick to continuity. As far as I'm concerned Daniel Craig and the James Bond stories that he has done don't have to fit in with the previous James Bond story that all. Personally reboot the series if they want to. Give a different take on James Bond the same way they've done this with Batman since 1989. James Bond for me is like a comic book don't look for continuity just enjoy the story as it is. They don't need to make James Bond a code name. And personally if they're going to do other spy stories. Show us what the other 00 agents are up to. For example in the film goldfinger James Bond talks about 008 and M even says 8 will replace him because he's more of a careful guy. Be great to hear his story. Or this new lady who replaced bond is 007 for a bit. What's her backstory tell a completely separate movie or maybe even a TV series. But it's been on for almost 60 years now no need to be a slave to continuity. Enjoy the James Bond story for what they are. Escapism....
I was definitely fun to watch but it wasn't. Not to talk about the ending of course, but they went with a more "scary" approach in some scenes. In some scenes it fits but they mostly had it when Safin was in the scene. Long story short: it ain't bad but not as good as earlier James bond movies. Edit: wow just realized I wrote Safin wrong
@@jewelrybag4557 Sometimes, it depends on what you grow up with and the first one you see. I'm mid 30s and Brosnan was my first Bond so I like him the most. Sean Connery is a legend and set the standard all others followed. However, my formative years were enjoyed by the Bond that jumped off a cliff following a runaway airplane with a motorbike and falling into it and flying off for the beginning credits to kick in.
I cried as well, because of how shitty and GIrl PoWeR driven it was. Absolute shit bond movie. Cant wait for all the powerful girl power bipoc 007 movies that are to come.
It didn't feel like 2 hours 40 minutes to me. I didn't even look at my watch once during the film. I enjoyed it. I also appreciated all of the title puns in this video, Paul.
The irony is that 160 minutes is plenty of time to die, and there is no time to die like the present. My interpretation is that the villain of this piece is hidden in plain sight. Ryan Haney killed 007. You are a Bond villain. You manipulated MI6, CIA, Blofeld, Spectre, Quantum, every major character and Bond himself. You destroyed Aston Martins and Vauxhall Bridge, caused the biggest single movie explosion on film, M to say “eff”, and Dave Bautista to have an entire vocabulary made of one word. Ryan Haney persuaded Freddy Mercury to kill the world, and Bond, by drawing Bond to an island holding the cure. Ryan Haney, in my assessment, manipulated EON, the writers, the financiers, the studios by paying for a ticket and buying a Blu-ray. The Blonde Bond’s first mission, just like Brosbond’s, was a successful reboot, despite inconsistencies. More please. Ryan Haney inferred he wasn’t bothered about the DB5 or M because the film was awesome, which it is by the way. So Quantum took the stuff that made CR popular, rather than the stuff that made it good, and used Ryan’s tacit approval to head in the new direction. EON assumed the finger lickin good recipe was the fancy packaging, not the chicken, QOS was no time to fry… The proof is the short running time and lack of story. And Ryan got to Bond himself. Craig famously said on set “look, we aren’t exactly making Live and Let Die here!” Craig went Lazenby. And they cast Gemma Arterton as a black Shirley Eaton. Kind of. You fools. In 2012 Ryan fed QOS to the sharks in the tank when he weaponised nostalgia and good will, by sacrificing James Blonde’s ties to the world which went before because it wasnt enough. The evil Ryan replaced the DB5 with one stolen from 1960s Pinewood and tried to kill a fake Connery in Blonde’s ancestral home. Ryan was paying to watch history destroyed because Blonde has seen Home Alone too many time on his own. To paraphrase Mr Big aka Dr Kananga, Bond must die at all cost. M payed the cost: was replaced, and Moneypenny became Ms Yummyhoney while Craig was morphing into a twin of Sid James, the strain turning his face into a hazelnut of trauma. Great bloody film though. Ryan made me pay three times to watch the sky fall, while I tumble, or did I fumble, with a football, eating apple crumble, with Wilfred Bramble… to the tune of (cue Telly Savalas as Dr Evil) ONE BILLION DOLLARS. Not bad. Dr Ryan Kerchingfinger wasn’t happy thought. Because he had to drag the corpse of Sam Mendes from the shark tank and give him CPR. “I want to see the instruments of Armageddon,” he ordered. We have a proper Bond now, a proper Ms Yummyhoney in a proper office with a proper desk with a proper door into a proper office with a proper M and an a proper Q. Now give me a proper Blofeld. And I demand you do it as subtle like they would in Fast and Furious. I want a proper old school Bond movie with a proper old school Bond bird with a new Oddjob Jaws Mr Kill Red Grant bad ass. I want a one take opening shot in many takes, an overblown song, and overblown plot, and over blown bang, followed by another overblown bang and come very close to a C Bomb. You did this, Dr Ryan. You got Spectre aka Europe to blow up Britain in an anti-Brexit - or is it pro-Brexit? - plot, at the hands of the evil, lesser spotted step brother who wasn’t an iconic baddie. Honest. It was Blofeld after all, who was pulling the strings of Spectre which was pulling the strings of Mr white who was pulling the strings of Mr Frenchman who was pulling the strings of Quantum who was pulling the string of Mads! No wonder he wept blood. It was all too much for Blonde. He wants to end it all. But the stakes are now so high the whole world must die too. Ryan Haney wants JB to be crucified on a cross made of success at the expense of restraint. Bond can’t attempt re-entry this time, he must succeed at all costs, even by sacrificing the good will of the demographic who have benefitted from the Craig era, that is, the demographic who wanted Quantum and then disowned it when they got it. If Bond rises from the ashes it will be because fans of Bond, not Craig, carry him to place of resurrection. These fans trusted Bond through trips to space, clown outfit bomb disposing, explosive toothpaste, bad cgi, terrible cameos, one terrible but strangely hot Christmas, and a multiple double-taking pigeons and bystanders examining their wine bottles. Bond has always returned. He wasn’t “woke”’when he quit the fags, or when Tanner was black, or when he cut down from four shags every 120 minutes to two. Nor was he sexist when Moneypenny was suddenly foxy with Dalton, nationalist because of his choice of parachute. Racist while in India. Or anti-French. Actually I don’t mind him being anti-French. Nobody likes cheese-eating surrender monkeys. My point is that Ryan, and myself, and everyone who enjoyed James Blonde so much that we fed him to the sharks have a story arc of our own to complete. Our super-villain gets to be like Danny Boyle. We will not kill 007. We will pick him up, dust him off, slip Craig a brown envelope and say Live and Let Die. Diamonds Are Forever. Charles Gray knows this underground lair where characters can get a make over. Connery found Blofeld there once, killed him after a bender in Vegas and then developed a case of Roger-Moore-tis so bad that Blonde was scared of it! I love Live and Let Die. It is refreshingly self-aware, dangerous, exciting and… fun. The worst moments of the Craig Five were those where they developed, like Mr Big who wanted Bond dead at any cost, a terribly inflated opinion of itself. At time of patriotic loss when the figurehead dies there is a rallying cry in old England that serves as a watershed between two eras: The King is dead. Long live the King. In our case, Bond is the King. And James Bond will return.
It felt like 10 minutes.Wonderful.And my £5 cinema ticket felt like a £50 cinema ticket. Loved the movie and will see it again. Although I didn't see the point of Nomi been in the movie.The Nomi character was a distraction to a great movie.
Daniel Craig is easily my favorite bond - that’s coming from someone who grew up watching Sean Connery and Roger Moore. I was so excited for Pierce Brosnan and Golden Eye didn’t let me down. However, the way he was handled made him my least favorite and soured me to Bond as a whole. Craig immediately won me over with that iconic opening scene from Casino Royale and I have never looked back. R.I.P. Daniel Bond Agent Paloma completely stole every scene she was in and I would love to see more of her! (The chemistry between her and Craig - wow.)
I absolutely second you in all... Daniel is the best Bond ever, Paloma blew me away (if only it was literally, 🤣🤣😂😂) and Casino Royal is by far the best of the Bond movies. I recently have seen Goldeneye and though I like Brosnan too that was like kindergarten compared to the Daniel Craig era. Roger Moore was very right when he said that Craig IS Bond. Cheers from Stuttgart, Germany
Yeh, I think the film would've been much better if Agent Paloma was the new 007 that replaced Bond in retirement instead of the Lashana Lynch agent, and then have them both after the scientist w/o Bond knowing that she was the new 007, competing w/each other to nab the guy. That dynamite chemistry they have would've made for some great scenes together, seeing as how Bond was no longer with Madeline at that time.
They did a Tony Stark from "Endgame" to James Bond in this film. In the same span of 5 years, both had a child, wanted to live a life of calmness and serenity but end up getting called back into action and in the end sacrifice himself so his loved ones can live on. While I didn't expect the deaths of either hero, it was still sad but a good way to go out.
That’s an interesting point. I think it points to a cultural value shift where we see that a leading action man hero can now also be driven as a father, and protective potentially caring father, and not just the playboy sexy womanizing who is forever with a woman and not with a family.
PS I also see that it’s interesting the way both movies opened the possibility for a daughter to pick up the mantle and not just the traditional cliche of a son.
The shot at 1:51 / 1:52 is amazing, don't think I've seen any Bond movie replicating the classic opening sequence with the barrel of a gun shot like that before...watched it last night at the cinema and it blew me away
No time to die was my last James Bond movie that I watched... it's really hard to watch the upcoming parts without Daniel Craig.. so yeah im giving up on James Bond Series, Huge fan of Daniel.
I'll miss Daniel Craig but I'm happy for him that he is free of the Bond series. However, OO7 will ALWAYS and ONLY be James Bond. Unless the entire franchise is ending. No one wants another crappy 'Charlie's Angela's reboot.
@@Tony-1971 Like the op says, unless 007 is James Bond, a MALE, suave, cool agent, then the franchise is dead, simple as. Ian Fleming would turn in his grave if he knew they were butchering his character in such a way just to be woke like every other failing franchise.
I think without overtly saying it, Saffin was basically meant to be Dr No. I think the island, missiles, acid, scarred face and the fact that he wears a "Noh" era Japanese theater mask in the opening points to this being the case. I also appreciated how the titles paid homage to Dr No's with the colored dots!!
Agreed, and it reminded me of the non eon bond film that ripped off Thunderball. Its too bad because in this movie, the bad guy barely had any back story. Every other movie, you could understand where he got the money he needed, why not government intelligence agencies on all sides decided to step in (not hard to notice an evil lair on a deserted island in a contested zone), and where his goal came from. In this movie, the bad guy just existed for Bond to have a target.
I Agree 100% This was prolly the only thing that pissed me off in this movie! Repeating history is not too bad, as long as it's not heavy handed. Naming Dr. No would've made Daniel Craig's Arche come full circle. Since "Dr. No" was the 1st official Bond film
Awful villain. No real character introduction or depth except from the fact of us knowing his family got killed like any other cliché villain and he’s the one that ends up killing Bond
I drove home thinking "Fleming would never kill Bond". But later I realised, Fleming DID kill Bond. The first 4 books didn't sell very well, so Fleming decided that " From Russia With Love" (book 5) would be the last. In the end, on the last page, his fight with Kleb ends with her scratching his skin with the poisoned boot knife, and the book ends with him losing consciousness to a poison that supposedly was instantly fatal. The book was a huge success, and Fleming had to revive him in book 6....
James Bond has been a 40-ish MI6 agent for about 80 years now in the stories; and about 60 years IRL. Just because he dies in 2021 it doesn't mean the franchise is over. He can appear in any time between WW II and 2020, as a different actor, without breaking the timeline. Or, they can simply ignore the ending and a new young James Bond can carry on into the 2030's and 2040's without missing a beat. ACTING!
I wrestle with Book Bond (including the Gardner run) vs. Movie Bond every time I watch a Bond movie since 1971. I had high hopes for Daniël Craig after "Casino Royale," but was severely dissappointed by what followed. "SPECTRE" especially was a grave dissappointment for me. Blofeld was not half as threatening as he should have been and never became such. I think that a serious take on Fleming's Bond Books would be a succes, and it could even ster a coloured Bond without affecting the Bond Saga. "No time to Die" borrows heavily from "You only Live Twice" - the Safin Garden is de facto the suicide garden of Blofeld in the Fleming book. Also the music and backtracks to "On her Majesty's Secret Service" (one of my favourite Bond films, despite its reputation) where heavy on my mind. Long story short (too late?) I was seriously dissappointed in the movie.
@@Akhtar93 I hate Star Wars (I truly do) and despise GoT for its deviations from the books. Lets each of us stick to our expertise and Fields of Knowledge, shall we?
They say, that when you are dying, you see your entire life.. but no one told me, that it is going to happen when my favourite fantasy character will die. I knew that he was about to say: "you have all the time in the world". I said it right before him, and we both- me and my girlfriend cried. In that moment i not only saw all the bond movies in front of my eyes, but i also saw my own life. How i loved the franchise since my childhood, how i was looking for vhs cassetes with bond movies, how hard it was to obtain it in an era before internet, what an occasion it was, when they were airing a bond movie in a tv, and by that, i was reviewing even my own life's memories, my ups and downs.. i was thinking about what all happened, and where i am now.. James bond, was a guarantee of immortality. We always knew, that he was going to make it. As if he kinda watched over us. To me, the bond franchise was like a sanctuary. A place, where the hero is going to win, and it's going to be like that forever. And now all of a sudden, when i'm at age, that i'm starting to realise my own mortality (34), my immortal childhood hero becomes a man from flesh and blood, and dies... it really moved me. I feel like i love my girlfriend even more after seeing that movie, bcz it made me realise even more, how nothing is granted, and everything has it's end. Don't get me wrong, i don't want to be pathetic over a fantasy character. I even lost my brother. I know what a real loss is. And still... this is something different. James Bond simply is a part of ourselves. He traveled with us our whole lives, and he was supposed to be here long after we will be not. A true believer understands me. And even tho, James Bond will return, this made me so sad... R.I.P. 007.
Bro. Since your a childhood fan of the character, so am I. Wanted to know your opinion on, what if James had to be portrayed by a non white person for thebnext 4 to 5 films. How would feel.
True men cries at the end of this movie, not only because the ending itself is touching but as you mention is the end of a character of our childhood. If he had survived those explosions and somehow get rid of the nanites that would make a bad ending, made everything possible on impossible scenarios (That´s other franchise haha). I think he died standing like a macho not with the dignity I would want but diying standing.
@@allhailtheking1492 Excellent question! That character would not be "James Bond." It would be like watching a movie about King Henry VIII where he was Asian but everyone else was English. Huh? Whites are accused of "cultural appropriation" for eating "non-Western" food or for wearing Asian clothing or Mexican hats -- and thus offending entire cultures; having someone non-white (Asian, Black, Pacific Islander -- you name it) playing Bond would be "cultural appropriation," too -- but in reverse. (Look at the movies from Hollywood's past -- and it's truly embarrassing to see whites portraying Asians, Indians, and even Blacks. Example Mickey Rooney portraying Mr. Yunioshi in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" -- horrifying! Of course, no self-respecting Japanese would portray that character, either.). Would that be any less "offensive" (where's the Constitutional protection against that, by the way?) It just would not be James Bond. If I want Chinese food, I prefer to have it prepared by a Chinese, ditto for Japanese food, Mexican food, or whatever food. Just "feels" more authentic if the person preparing it has a lifetime of experience with that food (flavors, textures, ingredients, spices, preparation methods, presentation, etc.). Same thing with James Bond. I have no problem with a non-white portraying a heroic character like James Bond, but with a different name -- and "double-oh" number!
@@HaiderAliKhan Yeah, no kidding. Although, it seems more of a BS, ass-kissing comment so that the OP gets more attention to his channel than any kindness to HS or Paul. I adore HS but it isn't the only recap channel that any of us watch. All this makes me do is think that the OP, "Evil" is a pandering tw-t.
I also think they could've explored more Malek's villain, since he felt a little underwhelming. As for Bond's death, I really think it was an understandable choice, since they couldn't really play the retirement or ghost cards again, as well as it ties up Craig's character and era. Hurts a lot to watch my childhood iteration of Bond dying, but I now see it was somewhat necessary.
Malek killed off Spectre as revenge for Spectre killing his family. And why did Spectre kill his family? Because the family refused to provide them with the poisons necessary for their evil plots. And now Malek is pursuing those SAME evil plots? Does that make sense?
Frankly I didn't understand any one of the villains actions or motivations except for the initial one - revenge. And he got that. Why did he "save" Madeleine? Why was Bond that important to him that he dreamt up that convoluted plan to make him suffer? Especially as it was obvious a that point they were both going to die, one way or another? And was he really going to kill billions of people because he thinks people want to be told what to do and to die without warning? Just writing it all of as generically mad/evil seems a cop-out
@@kwhatten Sure it does, we don't know what his family did, we just know they didn't want to work with spectre, maybe he's just continuing his family legacy, maybe it's just the only thing he knows how to do, maybe he wants revenge against a world he feels is unfair, while it's not something we'd do, we're not crazy or at at least that crazy.
Malek's accent was horrid. Very hard to hear anything he was saying with the bad accent that didn't at all ever sound natural. Bond should never die in any Bond movie. His character is immortal. Too girl power driven and woke.. Shit Bond movie..
While I was young enough to watch Bond as a kid with Pierce Brosnan who did excellent, I was becoming a young man when Casino Royale came out. Daniel Craig really captured the essence of what Bond is Now I am grown with a wife and child and this movie really hit me in a way I don't have words for. Here's to Daniel Craig, my idea of the ultimate spy and hero with a heart. For family, James.
It's not just James that would pose a threat to Madeline and her daughter. If he faked his death anyone he had contact with would then be a carrier for the nanites, eventually the infection would reach the Swans. So Bond can't have faked his death, it was obliteration or nothing. He had no choice.
Yep this is a key point. He had to kill himself otherwise his family would never be safe as the virus would endlessly infect people until it got to them. But I don’t think the film made this clear enough.
thank you - if we consider the probability of matching DNA with all the world population - it becomes eventual that he would contact someone who would killed by the DNA nano's and it would make it's way back to them.
I thought it was pretty clear, they really explained the mechanics behind the nanos extensively. It was so bitter sweet but very smart to make it so it wasnt that he couldnt escape the missile strike but he needed to die, a great end to the Craig bond
Just watched the movie and feel utterly devastated! I didn’t see it coming and the ending, while absolutely perfect for the film, has left me gutted. Daniel Craig has been brilliant!
…me too. I felt so sad for Bond. Craig portrayed his pain beautifully; he looks at his daughter and thinks what could have been - and later, for one moment when they’ve almost all escaped, he thinks he has found what he’s been searching for since his parents died…love and a family, but no, it’s all cruelly taken away from him…when he realises that he will never ever be able to touch or be anywhere near Madeline and his daughter ever again - it’s truly heart breaking 😢
Madeline and her daughter could have gone to the Clinic in Havana for DNA structuring from Die another day.. Fooling the nanobots. They will become useless afterwards. Unless that’s a different Bond universe.
@@PercyLeon1 Yup, with the advancement of vaccination, surely Q and his team can teach Bon'd white blood cells to eat all these bots. They are mechanical robots nevertheless. Surely they will loose power and die naturally. I don't buy how these bots will live eternally in a human's body.
@@jimcowan6472 hated the ending. Bond has never given up. And that's what he basically did. Plus he works with some of the clevest minds in the world im sure they could have made a cure... but no he gave in, a move totally out of character. Its put a damper on the whole franchise for me.
I suspect that by the time they're ready to reboot the series most of our casting favorites will have aged out. The next bond is probably starring on a Disney channel property right now.
If it were me, I’d go the X-Men First Class route…take it back to the 60s. My choice would be Finn Jones of Peaky Blinders and Animal Kingdom. The only draw back is now comparisons to Kingsman will probably be made…
Bond knew he had to die in that way, basically be vaporised, as the danger to Madeline and Matilde isn’t just touching Bond it would be coming into contact with anyone and anything Bond would go onto touch for the rest of his life, that would also be lethal to them as we saw from Blofeld’s death after Bond touched Madeline and then went onto pass the Nanobots onto Blofeld. The only way Bond knew 100% that they would be safe is if he was completely obliterated.
If James was Mathilde's father the nanobots Satin injected him with couldn't kill Madeleine and Mathilde because they would have killed James immediately, so the nanobots must be a fake. And the last words of Madeleine to James "she has your eyes" confirmed him to be the father. So there was no need for him to die, he could have had a life with Madeleine and Mathilde.
@@achimwokeschtla7582 can you elaborate please? He was supposed to program another nanobots specially for this purpose, that's why he used them on Bond, it would his last curse
@@luisfernando55: I elaborated already enough! But for you … as the nanobots affect the targeted person and his/her relatives there are only two possibilities: 1. if they don’t affect him but affect them Mathilde cannot be his daughter 2. if Mathilde is his daughter and the nanobots don’t affect him they cannot affect Mathilde because they are related and therefore cannot affect Madeleine because she is related to Mathilde.
@@achimwokeschtla7582 You're wrong. The DNA used was Madeline's, not James'. She's not related to him, so he didn't die. Mathilde has half her DNA so she would die. That's how DNA works.
I would’ve been heartbroken if the “JAMES BOND WILL RETURN” did not appear. Craig was amazing, loved his story, and this film was fantastic! I teared up….
@@mattjackson1732 it always appears at the end of every Bond film. It used to be the first thing that’ll pop up in the credits, but then they moved it to the end; knowing, that people like myself would wait to see it.This is just Daniel Craig’s final film, there will be more.
I've watched every bond film in the cinema since my dad took me to see Live and let die. There are elements of the Bond films that actually make me emotional and give me goose bumps, such as the gun barrel sequence, the "James Bond theme", the names Bond etc. This includes the James Bond Will Return moment, now at the very end of the credits and waiting for it is an event in itself ( god help anyone, if they chose to squeeze past my seat at that moment lol) As someone who has grown up with Bond, these highlights are the film constants, no matter who plays 007, or how good or weak the story is and why I will never class "never say never again" as a Bond movie.
I was surprised that the end made me cry.. in fact I still get a bit emotional thinking about it writing this lol It was the way James was taken aback by his daughter.. you could see how it penetrated his cold heart in a way that was profoundly life-altering. When he told Madelaine she had created the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen.. awww I melted. Seeing Bond say I love you to Madelaine right before the end. It was all just so real, like all his spy shit melted away and he became human again.
Yeah, not every movie has to be a children's film with a happy ending. I think the people who didn't like the conclusion don't really understand the plot of the Craig era. This had to happen. Best possible ending.
Actually, We Have All The Time In The World was played in full in the middle of OHMSS. The end scene was instrumental and the ending credits were the James Bond theme.
They killed him for sure. The end of the movie says James Bond will return instead of the usual “007 will return”. It was a fitting ending to the Craig Bond. His Bond by design was more like a mercenary/soldier than the tuxedoed martini drinking sophisticate of other Bonds
It has NEVER said “007 will return” at the end of one of the films. It has ALWAYS been “James Bond will return” The only change was not adding the name of the next film to be made as soon as they ran out of official Fleming material .
How’s him dying a fitting ending? They could’ve written a better ending for him where he gets to go home with his family. I think a happier ending would’ve definitely made the film better especially since it’s Daniel Craig’s last Bond movie.
@@robby4245 How would it "make no sense" for an ending in which he survived? The director wrote the story to make it so he dies at the end so obviously if he didn't die without changing the writing it wouldn't make sense, but that's not what I'm saying. They could've wrote it in a way where he didn't need to die. Honestly idc about this anymore
I have been watching bond movies since I was 10 that's 40 years now and the end of this movie felt like a punch in the stomach.I felt like a friend of mine who I grew up with was no more.
watching any other franchise, i would've definitely cried at the end, but because it's bond i just thought "nah he's not dead". but then me and my friends stepped out of the theatre, they talked about how he was dead, and i went home and read the reviews, and that's when it hit me. they killed him. so i went on a bond marathon and im considering going to the movies to see it again... i feel like i didn't properly say good bye to craig's bond. as a fan, i'd absolutely love to see a pre-007 story, a look into how james bond became the 007. the era just before craig's casino royale.
James Bond is James Bond. He is a specific person. It’s not a name which can be transferred around. Actually quite sad now I’ve seen this as I thought the Craig films formed a nice overall story, whereas previous films were standalone on the whole. Cavill would be my pick to pick up the license next.
I agree but they could use bond name as a tribute to him since the only ones who know of his death are in the room at the end I’d rather they reboot it again
I agree, Paloma was massively underused. Hopefully she will come back in a future Bond or a series of her own. She has all the qualities of a female Bond type character.
This was a great movie. Daniel Craig gave his best performance ever. I still love Casino Royale the best, but this latest one was a perfect sendoff to Craig’s Bond. Farewell, Daniel Craig. Off you go to the Knives Out franchise!🎉
I can't understand the people who say "Mimimi I don't like how sentimental Bond is and urgh he's got a daughter. I miss the cold hearted egoistic womanizer". Y'all forget that Craig's Bond is different since casino royale. He let women into his life and fell in love and with Madelaine he had a relationship. They probably f***** day and night. So, yes he can have a daughter. I like that they took a new turn and made Bond human. Made me more attached to his character to be honest.
At the end of the book 'You Only Live Twice' Bond has amnesia and lives for a while on a Japanese island. He has a relationship with Kissy and she falls pregnant. Bond leaves before she tells him of the pregnancy.
What a sad way to end the best, most physical Bond ever, in my opinion. Then, to even more bitter the sour apple, he has to die with a young daughter whom he never had the chance to father?? Incredible!!! No Bond has ever died…and it has to be Daniel Craig (arguably the best ever) to lose such a series virginity!!! Geez. Makes it difficult to rewatch the previous 4 (Casino Royale…Spectre). Maybe I’m too Pro-Bond.
Daniel Craig was never Bond. He is a Girly Man. None of his villains are memorable . Best bonds : 1, Roger Moore (great wit .great villains ) 2. Timothy Dalton ( was too dark for the general public but was the truest Bond according to the novels (source : Roger Moore's book.... Bond on Bond) 3. Sean Connery (letdown by the technology of the 60's......... great Bond but the movies weren't as enjoyable) 4. George Lazenby (OHMSS was a good movie) 5. the downhill slide begins.......feminists, Girly Men Spies, female bosses...... Csino Royale didn't even play Bond Music.......Where's my Chunder Bucket?
@@peterkramar6555 @volvojohn wasn't even responding to your comment, but to the original comment by @Rayford Parker. So, I guess that does make you a 'she-male' since you responded to it.
This film was a blast to watch, my only gripe is Ana De Armas not showing up after the mission in Cuba because her character really stole the show in act one. I hope we get to see her again in a future 007 movie.
I know many think Bond is blown to smithereens at the end but you don’t actually see that it’s only a puff of smoke. He suffers severe injuries and amnesia is hidden on an island as a Japanese fisherman until his memory is jogged by a message from Russia. Sounds familiar...it’s the plot of you only live twice the novel by Ian Fleming
It's not "a puff of smoke". We clearly see Bond standing as the missiles impact right in front of him. Lots of missiles exploding about 10 feet in front of him and moving right up to his body as the screen goes white. He's dead. OK, we didn't have a shot of his severed head rolling along the ground but face the facts... he's dead.
You forget that he wanted to die. He was poisoned with a skin transmitted weapon that would target his the DNA of his lover and his child. It was unremovable, so he killed himself. If not for that, even with bullet wounds, he would’ve figured out a way to escape.
JB is a white male. Fleming clearly described his looks. Connery, Lazenby, and Dalton looked the part. Moore and Brosnan too pretty. Craig was not even close, and he's a leftist.
Reasons why killing off James Bond was unforgivable. 1 - Bond's death is a *disrespectful* way to treat a character with a 59 year cinematic history. Barbara Broccoli was bequeathed the franchise and she should have the common decency to respect the character. She did a "screw you!" to the late Ian Fleming, her late father Albert Broccoli, and all the loyal fans whom have supported the franchise since 1962. 2 - The death is made more absurd by the end credits stating 'James Bond will return'... so the producers have their cake and eat it too. They get to kill off Craig's Bond and upset many Bond fans but then do the 180 degrees switch and say "not really, pay your cinema ticket to see Bond back in Bond 26!" *You can't get more cynical film making than that.* 3 - Craig's Bond dying is *meaningless.* You know Bond will return (albeit rebooted) so the emotional impact of his death is undermined. Bond is dead, sob....and ten mins later "James Bond will return." It's a contrived death. We're told Bond will return. We're not told a new version will appear. It's James Bond. The death is a gimmick/ contractual contrivance to give Craig a reason not to do a sixth film. He probably agreed to do NTTD on the condition his Bond died at the end of the film.
This argument is dumb because Craig's Bond was never part of the other line of Bonds which was all one continuous timeline. Craig's Bond was a reboot, and now people are complaining that they're going to reboot it again? Nobody complains about the 20 Batman reboots.
@@bobsmithy9024 LOL. Comic book characters infamously die all the time, and then come back in various rebooted forms. We haven't seen much of that in comic book movies, but Marvel Studios is now starting to dip their toes into that part of comic book lore. People cried about the Lazenby reboot in the 60's, and now that movie is praised as being one of the best Bond movies.
Jesus, I bet you're a joy at parties. You'll get over this Bonds death in a year or so, by which time the new 007 will be announced and you'll be excited again.
100% agree.. There are some lines you just dont cross, they did it.. As I watched the ending I was thinking, this is a joke.. they arent really doing this? and yep what a ridiculous death, Bond is being splattered to pieces, and way to go you just made me feel more than a thousand times disappointed. Im sorry but I dont like the times we are living in anymore.. it seems like everyone has lost their minds.. Such a rubbish ending. And that "Boss fight" between him and Saffin??! wtf??? not even a lot of action.. Theres a reason Goldeneye is probably my favorite Bond film.
The part when the new 007 was about to get arrested in Cuba and then shot the power box was another subtle callback to casino royale when Craig did it in his opening scene
I've had time to stew on this and while the ending has it's flaws, it's the logical conclusion for the Craig era of Bond. Since from the word go to now, Craig's bond is a character wrapped in tragedy. He has been through a lot, lost a lot and seen a lot of darker side of things. To the point he doesn't trust very well, is heavily cynical and isn't afraid to take things well outside the realms of "legality". These traits make him an almost impossible man to be around, but also someone who has basically nothing to lose and everything to gain through his work as a 00. But we do see that he does let his guard down to let some people in his life, it's just they either break that trust or do something that makes Bond go back to his old ways. Vesper, M, etc. People Bond respected and loved in one way or another, but did something that made him question that. But in the end, he still cares for these people. It's just those actions reminds him of why he is the way he is. And the few friends he DOES make, either betray him or get killed for him. So in the end, he finally found someone worth being with. Only he thought once again, he was being betrayed or worse by em. His old ways kicked in and that was EXACTLY what was expected of him. And that right there is the true tragedy of Craigs Bond, someone who can't trust due to his past, but still finds a reason to fight and live. Him dying in the end is him coming to terms with himself. Learning to trust, seeking forgiveness and having something important to care for. It sucks, but it makes sense. Craig's Bond arc is done and he has reached his conclusion. So now it's time to move forward and see what the next Bond will have in store for us. After all. "James Bond will return"
The ending was terrible for a Bond movie. Any other movie and it would have been fine. What are they suppose to do next since he is not around anymore?
@@bighands69 Nah, if they did this in Mission Impossible, then yes, that would (and should) kill the franchise. But Bond is a different animal. James Bond as a character has been recast so many times that with each actor is basically a different batch of movies. And it makes it seem that "James Bond" is really just a code name. Bond is one of the few franchises where killing him actually can work. With Craig, they did give him a backstory, sort of an arc as well.
I’d like to see the next Bond back in the 60’s. Cold War era stuff is great fun and I wouldn’t mind some of the more ridiculous aspects coming back, like volcano lairs.
This was easily one of my favourite Bond films. It's like what Casino Royale did for the first chapter in a new Bond, this film did for the last. They gave him what has never been possible in 60 years, due to Actors leaving over pay, due to producers getting mad about a few wrinkles, to lawsuits preventing new movies, the one thing that they could never do has finally been done: A conclusion. And it is beautiful for that
Yeah, pretty much every actor feels like they wanted to do more but had to leave because of superficial reasons so I’m glad at least one got to finish their story
@@bighands69 We've had that for decades. You not remember James Bond Jr? And anyway, this continuity is done now. The credits state "James Bond will return", not "007 will return", so it's a full reboot. It needed to be definitive otherwise it would have been the same as the other 6 times a run ended unceremoniously.
@@Lanosrep A full reboot will mean every character has to be replaced. So do you think Amazon paid $8.5 billion to get access to the franchise to do that?
But this was different to the others they were just standalone missions for bond throughout his career with the same people playing bond in multiple films, this had an over arching story throughout his 5 films that's why it has a beginning with casino royale and an end with no time to die unlike the others.
Just found the channel, a great and funny review. Personally, I could see Craig back in prequels but it's clear he's had his time and wants to move on. I actually felt that Bond was a bit more human in this last outing, we got to see more of Craig embracing Bond's age, lost love, he's made mistakes But then finding out he's a father now, it gives him something new to fight for. Great movie! I'd go and watch it again
@@bighands69 they played around with 007, because 007 is just a number. A that's it! James Bond is the name, 007 is the code for his Licence to Kill-job. It's not a setup, it's the exact opposite: it try's to make it clear! Just like Skyfall did with the tombstone of his parents.
Sean Connery will always be Bond for me. I really liked Pierce Brosnan when he took over the mantle. What I appreciated about Craig was that his films went back to the tone of the source material without all the stupidness that had crept into the films. If you have read any of the books, Craig's Bond was probably the closest. The books were straight-ahead thrillers without all the gimmicks you see in the previous movies, more like the Craig movies. The Connery movies were also mostly without gimmicks which made them better than those that followed. Whoever takes the 007 mantle, I hope they keep the tone the same and stick to more a "realistic" format with the movies. I will say I am sick of studios continuously rebooting films. I refuse to watch the Batman and Superman movies just for that reason. Enough is enough.
I feel Craig was totally miscast from day one. Not remotely Bond to me. In a perverse way his death was the Craig not Bond brigade winning. Go figure! Lol
I was emotional from the moment Felix died, great movie and the 5 Craig movies are a great stand alone story of Bond, my era started with Roger Moore and the brilliant The Spy Who Loved Me but some later movies were weak and then Brosnan rebooted it all and was great but again some weaknesses (DAD!), then there was Daniel Craig and the brilliant Casino Royale and a post Bourne Bond and this is the best place to leave it, I wouldn’t mind the 007 mantle carrying on post Bond and even the odd stand alone movie of Bond’s past but the legacy is there now and doesn’t need any more
Felix Leiter character was around since the old James Bond novel by Ian Fleming. Was it "Thunderball" , "the Man with the Golden Gun' or "Live and Let Die" did Felix came in ? No disrespect, I thought the original Felix was not an Afro-American.
In this one, bond did not fake his death. You literally see the missles explode all around him and he goes down with the explosions. He's dead now. Personally I thought this wasn't his best film. But it was still alright
I think that even though it may not of been the best, the ending was fit for a man that saved the world. He took his own life the most fitting way, by doing what he does best and saving the world. I understand it’s an ending for got a bond film, just not the ending we all wanted.
@@lucasbrown5300 I don't even think he died for much of a good reason. The whole franchise is him being bulletproof and one guy can suddenly shoot him. Also he could continue living in the world without seeing his wife or child until they find a solution. It wasn't a very fulfilling ending to me. He could've died in a much more badass way taking out the villain. Also the villain motive was pretty poor for me.
Great analysis mate. Yeah, an impressive movie, I wish I'd left it to watch on Christmas Day. One thing to remember, it's only a fricking James Bond movie :)
I always felt that Bond should remain in the 60's, using tech we're familiar with in a modern time, incidentally the Russia from love console game from a few years back had some interesting ideas, imagine if Kevlar was woven into all of Bond's clothing, all those assassins coming for him and none even come close to putting a bullet on him, now Bond can be shot and still get up and fight the good fight. Check out the game it's a lot of fun
Agreed, I'm hoping the franchise reboots in the 60's. I liked the movie and honestly of any of the Bond's to kick the bucket Craig's makes the most sense as his tenure has pretty clearly been a reboot that's very self contained. Just hoping the vitriol online doesn't increase to TLJ levels, light entertainment should never cause people to send death threats and personally affronted by a movie of all things.
I would love it to be a 60's period piece but it becomes very problematic for the producers when you're making films of this scale. Every car, street, plane, boat etc has to be period which is not possible without tons of CGI or ridiculous expense. It's easier for tv to do that because it's on a smaller scale production wise.
@@nicknewman7848 I think you've answered your question here, it's like the difference between the original Star Wars trilogy and the prequels, episodes 4-6 have lots of close ups on just 2-3 actor's physical backgrounds, practical effects, 3d models and traveling matte, the drama is taught and realistic, episodes 1-3 have so much unnecessary world building and spectacle that almost all of the acting comes off as wooden, there's very little actual drama present ( that said 100% better than episodes 7-9). If Eon pictures go for Henry cavill as Bond it'll probably be on the back of his Man from UNCLE, you almost don't notice it's set in the 60's and then of course Mission Impossible too! Bond playing golf with Goldfinger, the tense drama between Bond and Red Grant, any creeping around in the dark from any of the movies all very cheap to create and film.
I watched the movie last night, 13 days after it opened in the UK and I loved it. I've seen each film in the franchise at least 3x each time over the last 4 decades. I would recommend it to anyone. The story telling has leapt to sheer brilliance from the writerthe character developments is brilliant the stunts and gadgets are as always in a different league to most movies.
I'm not sure why everyone is so mad that Bond died? To me, whenever the character changed actor it was like a reboot/different Bond universe. Craig Bond was the only one who actually had a movie arc. He wasn't even a 00 in Casino Royale at the start. Another actor can easily be cast and they just start again as they did and have done for 50+ years 🙃 I liked the ending myself and will happily wait the 5 odd years till the next one
They've never gone as far as killing him though. You don’t kill the character of your franchise, by all means change the lead actor as they've always done but you don’t kill him. Another point is that these incarnations of M, Moneypenny, Tanner and Q have mourned his passing. This means that to start again we need new actors for those roles too. I was ready to say goodbye to Craig but not Fiennes, Whishaw, Harris too! The film was enjoyable as a film but not as part of the Bond franchise IMO.
@@NerdGirlUK I agree, I mean killing superman is not the same as killing James Bond, i think this is a pretty bold move. I though the child was already a stretch but dying took it to another level for me. Will I like was is coming next? Lot of questions. but in this movie eh went from saving the world to a father who is saving his daughter..... again mixed emotions.
@@NerdGirlUK ah man for 50 years of bond why not? Why does it have to follow the same formula every single time. Its nice to see something completely different.
I think we gathered that I guess we just wanted to see bond have a good ending where he retires with his family and to see him die on the god damn roof of a building
The ending was a really big shocker for me, That of all bond movies the girl dies, but at this Bond dies. and feels a little bad over it. Really like the relationship they had and hoped for a much happier ending. But absolutely Craig's best bond! Wish that he didn't get the nanobots and they just vanished and live their new life and forget about everything with violence
The One glaring problem for why it could have had a happier send off raising his child and a life with Madeline is the watch. Maybe a second viewing would confirn for me if it was a one time use. But I half expected Q to realize an EMP pulse would disable the nanobots. Unless of course the bots had chips shielded from EMP damage as was developed in "A View To A Kill." Of course, you would think the facility in Cevernaya (sp?) would have been shielded like the Tiger helicopter as that chip tech would probably have been the standard after 10 years to withstand a blast from Goldeneye. But I digress. That third act needed a lot more polishing as I didn't understand why the guy went from wanting to kill Spectre to full on destroying the world. But anyhow, unless I can get some clarification on my EMP plotpoints I'll always feel it could have had a "The Dark Knight Rises" kind of ending.
Just watched the movie and I can’t help but think the ending of this movie reminds me of Hero. The way the rockets split and killed Bond makes me think of the arrows killing Jet Li.
Ok. I’m not gonna lie, the Goldeneye was actually a good one. Movie just released in the US. Man this movie took me on a rollercoaster of emotions. A+ from me though. Just witnessed some of the best action sequences in the entire franchise. And I’d say cinematically speaking, this was the most beautiful Bond film in the franchise. Sapphin was in the upper tier of villains but nothing too notable, and I think that has something to do with screen time. Man what a fitting ending to this story arc. Sad one too. Total reboot happening now.
No Time To Die was a film with such amazing cinematography and action sequences because of its amazing director Cary Joji Fukunaga, who also directed the entire 1st season of the True Detective series that starred Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.
Loved the locations, cinematography. Had great new stadium lazyboy seats for the 2:42 min movie. Brought lots of snacks and a good date. I missed not going to the movies during pandemic. 1st time back. Will do it again n get. The blueray version when it comes out.😍😎
@@Luvie1980 Idris can be 007 , but never James bond! And im black! lol..Im not down with just pleasing political groups. Entertainment should just be entertaining. I was mad at the Daredevil movie when they made the Kingpin black! And im sure im going to be mad as hell when Indiana Jones 5 comes out too! I damn near miss the 80's!🤣😂🤣😂
There are at least few possibilities for the series to continue: (1) Bond isn't dead and neither is Blofeld. The story continues. (2) Most of the movies are going to be made again as of being told by Madeleine Swann to her daughter. As for option (1) it has to be stated that in this movie it was Blofeld himself who had the ‘vision required’ for the use of the DNA weapon. This would implicate that Blofeld would somehow successfully staged his death as like he would have known what is coming to him and created a backdoor for the virus for example. As for option (2), James Bond will return, as said in the end of the movie. My best guess is, after seeing all the movies for at least 10 times and reading every single novel and book, that it is now the time for some remakes of the old Bond movies. Not my preferred choice, but as of the production point of view there is much money to be made for the shareholders. I also regard remakes as an option if you first consider that Amazon made a deal with MGM and then recall what Amazon made to Hercule Poirot. Now let’s discuss a little about the scenes and the plot. The strangling of Blofeld and the pregnancy of Madeleine was probably taken from the novel 'You Only Live Twice'. In the novel it was Kissy Suzuki that was carrying Bond’s child. What comes to the death of James Bond in ‘No Time To Die’, it is only the best guess that the character really died. As it was pointed out, no body of dead 007 (Graig) were shown in the movie. Now when it comes to this pure science fiction ‘DNA weapon’, I consider it to be one of the silliest things in Bond series after ‘the invisible car’ and the ‘particle cannon’ seen in the 2002 movie ‘Die Another Day’. SPECTRE was suddenly congregated and was vulnerable to all attacks. Albeit it was mentioned in the previous 2015 movie ‘SPECTRE’ that the group hardly ever meet. For me it stands out that the whole SPECTRE as an organization was portrayed as if it was a bunch of some second-rated side characters ready to die in the first scene after one minute and a few magazines of ammo. Daniel Greg started an era of James Bond. The 2006 movie ‘Casino Royale’ was the prequel of this era, the Bond movies itself and the books. All the movies after Casino Royale (2006) then followed in one straight continuum. The problematics appear as there was only a 5-year gap between the first Matera scene after Bond thought Madeleine was involved in SPECTRE’s plot at the grave of Vesper Lynd. If this is considered, most of the Bond movies would have to be happened between this period of time. Even if we agree that this was the end of Blofeld as it was in the book ‘You Only Live Twice’ and everything would have happened in this time gap, there still would be ‘The Man With The Golden Gun’. All in all, so much different things critical for the myth arc of the series were put into this one movie and most of the well-known characters died. Felix Leiter’s death could be in one movie. The destruction of SPECTRE in another, if ever. Bond’s destiny. But no. All this in one movie. For me it was a "plenty o’toole" for one movie. When all is said and done, I’d like to conclude that this was a pretty decent story and movie. The mind plays tricks with us as our most beloved hero is maybe gone. This combined with the fact that Bond has (present tense as everything is open) a beautiful wife and a child showed us the true emotional power of the movies. We all want a good beginning that makes a good ending. That’s what makes us human. Cheers for @Heavy Spoilers for the review. Keep the British end up, sir!
I'm fairly sure (1) is what's going to happen. Bond returns in the next film, having escaped from the ultimate deathtrap by some complex pseudo-technical means. The Bond films are never limited by what is possible for a human in a given situation, the franchise is huge business and Bond is the main reason for its existence, so the producers and distributors are not going to kill off James Bond or make a total break with Fleming's white British spy character. Madeleine Swann (nice Proust reference there, I spotted it as soon as I saw her in Spectre) will not be a major character in the next film - she will be written out of the story in some way or pushed to the margins. No Bond girl, IIRC, before her has actually appeared in two different 007 films as the same character.
I am going to give away my age with this comment. I grew up during the Roger Moore era, and there was a built-in expectation that any actor was just a temporary custodian of the character (especially clear during the "Never Say Never" mess) and another one will pick up the mantle. Therefore, I found it regrettable that they've killed off the character at the end of Craig's run. For me, it's such a fun guilty pleasure franchise, over the top, and fun escapist experience. Don't need him to mirror reality, don't need for Bond to age, experience parenthood, or teach any moral lesson. The world we live in is full of drama, conflict, and discourse, this was a for a time, a chance to enjoy a 90+ minute reverie. Daniel Craig was great, so much fun in this role, it's a shame for me that the character ends and becomes an absentee father.
I seem to be at the same age like you. TSWLM was my first Bond movie, seen years after it debuted. For NTTD I feel in a completely other way. Craig's Bond is (and was always) different and I love the twists here. This IS Craig's OHMSS!
@@rubenaerts7284 Not racist but why not make a role for them instead of giving them a developed and well known roles. This is why Daniel Craig was not supportive of the idea of having a female 007 not because it has always been played by a man its because women should have their own character that is connected to them .
It is quite “cheap” to kill off a character in order to soak tissue. As Billy Wilder says, the brilliant thing is “to have the hero climb a tree, set the tree on fire, and to bring him back to safety convincingly.”
Well, contracts govern all this stuff. Besides, he’s been brought back from burning trees safely for quite a while, only way to reduce stagnation is by making him fall out the tree to his death as a lesson for him for always getting into burning trees in the first place.
Who gives a fuck what Billy Wilder said. It was sad and I was emotional but now they can reboot the franchise, it was a good movie even if it didn't follow the guidelines of fucking Billy Wilder
@@atwunz well the way the “secret” was framed made it seem like she actually did something instead of her mother just being killed which doesn’t really seem like it would be the “death” of bond
@CEO of Secularism not the only. The film was okay but the ending is just awful. They killed Bond with the lazyest plotholes. He asked for rockets. Okay but why? The packing taking time, they could rocketing the ships and many other opportunities. The gunshots are bad but maybe he could survive that.
iOi Interactive that makes the Hitman games is also now working on a Bond game. I assume it would hit before they reboot the films. I think they’re making their own Bond not based on the film iterations.
Personally, Daniel Craig's run as Bond should be removed from cannon. Although I didn't mind him in the last 2 movies.. It is sacrilegious and anticlimactic to the title of the movie to kill off the main character and still have the nerve to say "James Bond will return" I honestly think that this was the last James Bond movie that I will watch. Since there are no more books to base the movies on the production team has lost their way. 4 out of 10 from me
I’m a huge fan of the franchise, but if James Bond is really dead, then they should end the story. It’s was a satisfying end. If people want a female or black character, then by all means start a spin off or a new character. I’m confused by the “James Bond Will Return” because we have just watched him die. I hope they leave James Bond there and finalise the story after 60 years. I’d happily watch a new spin off with Nomi, but don’t rewrite who James Bond was
Agree. In a good way though. IMO If it ends here. There wasnt ever a bad bond movie. Some that were worse than others, but no bad ones. I think they can only fuck it up from here.

Daniel Craig is my favourite 007.
Brosnan was your favourite Bond? Is that a joke?
I think it was great. That being said they don't have to make every movie stick to continuity. As far as I'm concerned Daniel Craig and the James Bond stories that he has done don't have to fit in with the previous James Bond story that all. Personally reboot the series if they want to. Give a different take on James Bond the same way they've done this with Batman since 1989. James Bond for me is like a comic book don't look for continuity just enjoy the story as it is. They don't need to make James Bond a code name. And personally if they're going to do other spy stories. Show us what the other 00 agents are up to. For example in the film goldfinger James Bond talks about 008 and M even says 8 will replace him because he's more of a careful guy. Be great to hear his story. Or this new lady who replaced bond is 007 for a bit. What's her backstory tell a completely separate movie or maybe even a TV series. But it's been on for almost 60 years now no need to be a slave to continuity. Enjoy the James Bond story for what they are. Escapism....
I was definitely fun to watch but it wasn't. Not to talk about the ending of course, but they went with a more "scary" approach in some scenes. In some scenes it fits but they mostly had it when Safin was in the scene.
Long story short: it ain't bad but not as good as earlier James bond movies.
Edit: wow just realized I wrote Safin wrong
@@jewelrybag4557 Sometimes, it depends on what you grow up with and the first one you see. I'm mid 30s and Brosnan was my first Bond so I like him the most. Sean Connery is a legend and set the standard all others followed. However, my formative years were enjoyed by the Bond that jumped off a cliff following a runaway airplane with a motorbike and falling into it and flying off for the beginning credits to kick in.
After watching this movie, I told myself:
“No Time to Cry”
same
No time to watch. Going straight to the spoilers
@@DrJams sad
I cried as well, because of how shitty and GIrl PoWeR driven it was. Absolute shit bond movie. Cant wait for all the powerful girl power bipoc 007 movies that are to come.
Enough to make a grown man cry 😣
It didn't feel like 2 hours 40 minutes to me. I didn't even look at my watch once during the film. I enjoyed it. I also appreciated all of the title puns in this video, Paul.
The irony is that 160 minutes is plenty of time to die, and there is no time to die like the present.
My interpretation is that the villain of this piece is hidden in plain sight.
Ryan Haney killed 007. You are a Bond villain. You manipulated MI6, CIA, Blofeld, Spectre, Quantum, every major character and Bond himself. You destroyed Aston Martins and Vauxhall Bridge, caused the biggest single movie explosion on film, M to say “eff”, and Dave Bautista to have an entire vocabulary made of one word.
Ryan Haney persuaded Freddy Mercury to kill the world, and Bond, by drawing Bond to an island holding the cure.
Ryan Haney, in my assessment, manipulated EON, the writers, the financiers, the studios by paying for a ticket and buying a Blu-ray. The Blonde Bond’s first mission, just like Brosbond’s, was a successful reboot, despite inconsistencies. More please. Ryan Haney inferred he wasn’t bothered about the DB5 or M because the film was awesome, which it is by the way.
So Quantum took the stuff that made CR popular, rather than the stuff that made it good, and used Ryan’s tacit approval to head in the new direction. EON assumed the finger lickin good recipe was the fancy packaging, not the chicken, QOS was no time to fry… The proof is the short running time and lack of story.
And Ryan got to Bond himself. Craig famously said on set “look, we aren’t exactly making Live and Let Die here!” Craig went Lazenby. And they cast Gemma Arterton as a black Shirley Eaton. Kind of. You fools.
In 2012 Ryan fed QOS to the sharks in the tank when he weaponised nostalgia and good will, by sacrificing James Blonde’s ties to the world which went before because it wasnt enough. The evil Ryan replaced the DB5 with one stolen from 1960s Pinewood and tried to kill a fake Connery in Blonde’s ancestral home. Ryan was paying to watch history destroyed because Blonde has seen Home Alone too many time on his own. To paraphrase Mr Big aka Dr Kananga, Bond must die at all cost. M payed the cost: was replaced, and Moneypenny became Ms Yummyhoney while Craig was morphing into a twin of Sid James, the strain turning his face into a hazelnut of trauma. Great bloody film though. Ryan made me pay three times to watch the sky fall, while I tumble, or did I fumble, with a football, eating apple crumble, with Wilfred Bramble… to the tune of (cue Telly Savalas as Dr Evil) ONE BILLION DOLLARS.
Not bad.
Dr Ryan Kerchingfinger wasn’t happy thought. Because he had to drag the corpse of Sam Mendes from the shark tank and give him CPR.
“I want to see the instruments of Armageddon,” he ordered. We have a proper Bond now, a proper Ms Yummyhoney in a proper office with a proper desk with a proper door into a proper office with a proper M and an a proper Q. Now give me a proper Blofeld. And I demand you do it as subtle like they would in Fast and Furious. I want a proper old school Bond movie with a proper old school Bond bird with a new Oddjob Jaws Mr Kill Red Grant bad ass. I want a one take opening shot in many takes, an overblown song, and overblown plot, and over blown bang, followed by another overblown bang and come very close to a C Bomb.
You did this, Dr Ryan. You got Spectre aka Europe to blow up Britain in an anti-Brexit - or is it pro-Brexit? - plot, at the hands of the evil, lesser spotted step brother who wasn’t an iconic baddie. Honest. It was Blofeld after all, who was pulling the strings of Spectre which was pulling the strings of Mr white who was pulling the strings of Mr Frenchman who was pulling the strings of Quantum who was pulling the string of Mads! No wonder he wept blood. It was all too much for Blonde. He wants to end it all. But the stakes are now so high the whole world must die too.
Ryan Haney wants JB to be crucified on a cross made of success at the expense of restraint. Bond can’t attempt re-entry this time, he must succeed at all costs, even by sacrificing the good will of the demographic who have benefitted from the Craig era, that is, the demographic who wanted Quantum and then disowned it when they got it. If Bond rises from the ashes it will be because fans of Bond, not Craig, carry him to place of resurrection. These fans trusted Bond through trips to space, clown outfit bomb disposing, explosive toothpaste, bad cgi, terrible cameos, one terrible but strangely hot Christmas, and a multiple double-taking pigeons and bystanders examining their wine bottles. Bond has always returned.
He wasn’t “woke”’when he quit the fags, or when Tanner was black, or when he cut down from four shags every 120 minutes to two. Nor was he sexist when Moneypenny was suddenly foxy with Dalton, nationalist because of his choice of parachute. Racist while in India. Or anti-French. Actually I don’t mind him being anti-French. Nobody likes cheese-eating surrender monkeys.
My point is that Ryan, and myself, and everyone who enjoyed James Blonde so much that we fed him to the sharks have a story arc of our own to complete. Our super-villain gets to be like Danny Boyle. We will not kill 007.
We will pick him up, dust him off, slip Craig a brown envelope and say Live and Let Die. Diamonds Are Forever. Charles Gray knows this underground lair where characters can get a make over. Connery found Blofeld there once, killed him after a bender in Vegas and then developed a case of Roger-Moore-tis so bad that Blonde was scared of it!
I love Live and Let Die. It is refreshingly self-aware, dangerous, exciting and… fun.
The worst moments of the Craig Five were those where they developed, like Mr Big who wanted Bond dead at any cost, a terribly inflated opinion of itself.
At time of patriotic loss when the figurehead dies there is a rallying cry in old England that serves as a watershed between two eras:
The King is dead. Long live the King.
In our case, Bond is the King.
And James Bond will return.

I thought it dragged 1-2 times. But it didn’t feel like I was sitting there for 3 hours at all.
And with that, my favorite James Bond of all time has reached his conclusion.
Bravo, Daniel Craig! What a way to go!
Daniel Craig is easily my favorite bond - that’s coming from someone who grew up watching Sean Connery and Roger Moore. I was so excited for Pierce Brosnan and Golden Eye didn’t let me down. However, the way he was handled made him my least favorite and soured me to Bond as a whole. Craig immediately won me over with that iconic opening scene from Casino Royale and I have never looked back.
R.I.P. Daniel Bond
Agent Paloma completely stole every scene she was in and I would love to see more of her! (The chemistry between her and Craig - wow.)
lol ugh. Vomit..
I didn’t enjoy her presence in this movie. In my view the wrong choice
I absolutely second you in all... Daniel is the best Bond ever, Paloma blew me away (if only it was literally, 🤣🤣😂😂) and Casino Royal is by far the best of the Bond movies. I recently have seen Goldeneye and though I like Brosnan too that was like kindergarten compared to the Daniel Craig era. Roger Moore was very right when he said that Craig IS Bond. Cheers from Stuttgart, Germany
Yeh, I think the film would've been much better if Agent Paloma was the new 007 that replaced Bond in retirement instead of the Lashana Lynch agent, and then have them both after the scientist w/o Bond knowing that she was the new 007, competing w/each other to nab the guy. That dynamite chemistry they have would've made for some great scenes together, seeing as how Bond was no longer with Madeline at that time.
They did a Tony Stark from "Endgame" to James Bond in this film. In the same span of 5 years, both had a child, wanted to live a life of calmness and serenity but end up getting called back into action and in the end sacrifice himself so his loved ones can live on. While I didn't expect the deaths of either hero, it was still sad but a good way to go out.
Damn, I didn't realize that 😯😕😂 Good context clues!
I'm still mad about Tony Stark.
In a way same with Logan
That’s an interesting point. I think it points to a cultural value shift where we see that a leading action man hero can now also be driven as a father, and protective potentially caring father, and not just the playboy sexy womanizing who is forever with a woman and not with a family.
PS I also see that it’s interesting the way both movies opened the possibility for a daughter to pick up the mantle and not just the traditional cliche of a son.
I was hoping M said “and Bond, don’t die”
Then bond would respond “there’s no time for that”
The writers are kicking themselves now 😂
Ain't nobody got time for that!
"Hey M! WATCH WHAT I CAN DO!!!!"
*Dies super badass and heroically*
I got goosebumps reading that 🤣🤣 fucking Genius you are 💯💯

The shot at 1:51 / 1:52 is amazing, don't think I've seen any Bond movie replicating the classic opening sequence with the barrel of a gun shot like that before...watched it last night at the cinema and it blew me away
But no blood after the gunshot. PC?

I think without overtly saying it, Saffin was basically meant to be Dr No. I think the island, missiles, acid, scarred face and the fact that he wears a "Noh" era Japanese theater mask in the opening points to this being the case. I also appreciated how the titles paid homage to Dr No's with the colored dots!!
I don't think Rami Malik was utilised properly tho... His on screen presence even left lesser than dominic Greene
Agreed, and it reminded me of the non eon bond film that ripped off Thunderball. Its too bad because in this movie, the bad guy barely had any back story. Every other movie, you could understand where he got the money he needed, why not government intelligence agencies on all sides decided to step in (not hard to notice an evil lair on a deserted island in a contested zone), and where his goal came from. In this movie, the bad guy just existed for Bond to have a target.
I Agree 100% This was prolly the only thing that pissed me off in this movie! Repeating history is not too bad, as long as it's not heavy handed. Naming Dr. No would've made Daniel Craig's Arche come full circle. Since "Dr. No" was the 1st official Bond film
Awful villain. No real character introduction or depth except from the fact of us knowing his family got killed like any other cliché villain and he’s the one that ends up killing Bond
Dr. No as well as Blofeld with his poison castle from You Only Live Twice
I drove home thinking "Fleming would never kill Bond". But later I realised, Fleming DID kill Bond. The first 4 books didn't sell very well, so Fleming decided that " From Russia With Love" (book 5) would be the last. In the end, on the last page, his fight with Kleb ends with her scratching his skin with the poisoned boot knife, and the book ends with him losing consciousness to a poison that supposedly was instantly fatal.
The book was a huge success, and Fleming had to revive him in book 6....
James Bond has been a 40-ish MI6 agent for about 80 years now in the stories; and about 60 years IRL. Just because he dies in 2021 it doesn't mean the franchise is over. He can appear in any time between WW II and 2020, as a different actor, without breaking the timeline. Or, they can simply ignore the ending and a new young James Bond can carry on into the 2030's and 2040's without missing a beat. ACTING!
I wrestle with Book Bond (including the Gardner run) vs. Movie Bond every time I watch a Bond movie since 1971. I had high hopes for Daniël Craig after "Casino Royale," but was severely dissappointed by what followed. "SPECTRE" especially was a grave dissappointment for me. Blofeld was not half as threatening as he should have been and never became such.
I think that a serious take on Fleming's Bond Books would be a succes, and it could even ster a coloured Bond without affecting the Bond Saga.
"No time to Die" borrows heavily from "You only Live Twice" - the Safin Garden is de facto the suicide garden of Blofeld in the Fleming book. Also the music and backtracks to "On her Majesty's Secret Service" (one of my favourite Bond films, despite its reputation) where heavy on my mind.
Long story short (too late?) I was seriously dissappointed in the movie.

They say, that when you are dying, you see your entire life.. but no one told me, that it is going to happen when my favourite fantasy character will die.
I knew that he was about to say: "you have all the time in the world". I said it right before him, and we both- me and my girlfriend cried. In that moment i not only saw all the bond movies in front of my eyes, but i also saw my own life. How i loved the franchise since my childhood, how i was looking for vhs cassetes with bond movies, how hard it was to obtain it in an era before internet, what an occasion it was, when they were airing a bond movie in a tv, and by that, i was reviewing even my own life's memories, my ups and downs.. i was thinking about what all happened, and where i am now..
James bond, was a guarantee of immortality. We always knew, that he was going to make it. As if he kinda watched over us. To me, the bond franchise was like a sanctuary. A place, where the hero is going to win, and it's going to be like that forever. And now all of a sudden, when i'm at age, that i'm starting to realise my own mortality (34), my immortal childhood hero becomes a man from flesh and blood, and dies... it really moved me. I feel like i love my girlfriend even more after seeing that movie, bcz it made me realise even more, how nothing is granted, and everything has it's end. Don't get me wrong, i don't want to be pathetic over a fantasy character. I even lost my brother. I know what a real loss is. And still... this is something different. James Bond simply is a part of ourselves. He traveled with us our whole lives, and he was supposed to be here long after we will be not. A true believer understands me. And even tho, James Bond will return, this made me so sad...
R.I.P. 007.
It was a great film but we left the cinema deflated and very sad….crazy right 😢
Bro. Since your a childhood fan of the character, so am I. Wanted to know your opinion on, what if James had to be portrayed by a non white person for thebnext 4 to 5 films. How would feel.
@@tigertankralfnutcrackerlet5461 we all bro.
True men cries at the end of this movie, not only because the ending itself is touching but as you mention is the end of a character of our childhood. If he had survived those explosions and somehow get rid of the nanites that would make a bad ending, made everything possible on impossible scenarios (That´s other franchise haha). I think he died standing like a macho not with the dignity I would want but diying standing.
@@allhailtheking1492 Excellent question! That character would not be "James Bond." It would be like watching a movie about King Henry VIII where he was Asian but everyone else was English. Huh? Whites are accused of "cultural appropriation" for eating "non-Western" food or for wearing Asian clothing or Mexican hats -- and thus offending entire cultures; having someone non-white (Asian, Black, Pacific Islander -- you name it) playing Bond would be "cultural appropriation," too -- but in reverse. (Look at the movies from Hollywood's past -- and it's truly embarrassing to see whites portraying Asians, Indians, and even Blacks. Example Mickey Rooney portraying Mr. Yunioshi in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" -- horrifying! Of course, no self-respecting Japanese would portray that character, either.). Would that be any less "offensive" (where's the Constitutional protection against that, by the way?) It just would not be James Bond. If I want Chinese food, I prefer to have it prepared by a Chinese, ditto for Japanese food, Mexican food, or whatever food. Just "feels" more authentic if the person preparing it has a lifetime of experience with that food (flavors, textures, ingredients, spices, preparation methods, presentation, etc.). Same thing with James Bond. I have no problem with a non-white portraying a heroic character like James Bond, but with a different name -- and "double-oh" number!

I also think they could've explored more Malek's villain, since he felt a little underwhelming. As for Bond's death, I really think it was an understandable choice, since they couldn't really play the retirement or ghost cards again, as well as it ties up Craig's character and era. Hurts a lot to watch my childhood iteration of Bond dying, but I now see it was somewhat necessary.
Just came back from the cinema and completely agree. Felt like I barely knew the villain at all
Malek killed off Spectre as revenge for Spectre killing his family. And why did Spectre kill his family? Because the family refused to provide them with the poisons necessary for their evil plots. And now Malek is pursuing those SAME evil plots? Does that make sense?
Frankly I didn't understand any one of the villains actions or motivations except for the initial one - revenge. And he got that. Why did he "save" Madeleine? Why was Bond that important to him that he dreamt up that convoluted plan to make him suffer? Especially as it was obvious a that point they were both going to die, one way or another? And was he really going to kill billions of people because he thinks people want to be told what to do and to die without warning? Just writing it all of as generically mad/evil seems a cop-out
@@kwhatten Sure it does, we don't know what his family did, we just know they didn't want to work with spectre, maybe he's just continuing his family legacy, maybe it's just the only thing he knows how to do, maybe he wants revenge against a world he feels is unfair, while it's not something we'd do, we're not crazy or at at least that crazy.
Malek's accent was horrid. Very hard to hear anything he was saying with the bad accent that didn't at all ever sound natural. Bond should never die in any Bond movie. His character is immortal. Too girl power driven and woke.. Shit Bond movie..
I loved Paloma she was badass, I agree she could’ve been utilised more. Let’s hope she’s the subject of a spin-off
That's my assumption. She needed to be used more and I think that will happen in a spin off movie
I know right! She was unrecognizable to me at first after knives out. But she made one hell of an impression
While I was young enough to watch Bond as a kid with Pierce Brosnan who did excellent, I was becoming a young man when Casino Royale came out. Daniel Craig really captured the essence of what Bond is Now I am grown with a wife and child and this movie really hit me in a way I don't have words for. Here's to Daniel Craig, my idea of the ultimate spy and hero with a heart. For family, James.
Amen my guy🙏
It's not just James that would pose a threat to Madeline and her daughter. If he faked his death anyone he had contact with would then be a carrier for the nanites, eventually the infection would reach the Swans. So Bond can't have faked his death, it was obliteration or nothing. He had no choice.
Yep this is a key point. He had to kill himself otherwise his family would never be safe as the virus would endlessly infect people until it got to them. But I don’t think the film made this clear enough.
@@jtlsuk no,it didn't
it did, people just didn’t pick up on it.
thank you - if we consider the probability of matching DNA with all the world population - it becomes eventual that he would contact someone who would killed by the DNA nano's and it would make it's way back to them.
I thought it was pretty clear, they really explained the mechanics behind the nanos extensively.
It was so bitter sweet but very smart to make it so it wasnt that he couldnt escape the missile strike but he needed to die, a great end to the Craig bond
Just watched the movie and feel utterly devastated! I didn’t see it coming and the ending, while absolutely perfect for the film, has left me gutted. Daniel Craig has been brilliant!
I feel the same! Still processing, mourning, searching for a quantum of solace...
Also still mourning.😢
I really wish Bond could be with Madeline and their daughter at the end of the movie. I'm just a sucker for happy endings 😞
…me too. I felt so sad for Bond. Craig portrayed his pain beautifully; he looks at his daughter and thinks what could have been - and later, for one moment when they’ve almost all escaped, he thinks he has found what he’s been searching for since his parents died…love and a family, but no, it’s all cruelly taken away from him…when he realises that he will never ever be able to touch or be anywhere near Madeline and his daughter ever again - it’s truly heart breaking 😢
Madeline and her daughter could have gone to the Clinic in Havana for DNA structuring from Die another day.. Fooling the nanobots. They will become useless afterwards. Unless that’s a different Bond universe.
@@PercyLeon1 Yup, with the advancement of vaccination, surely Q and his team can teach Bon'd white blood cells to eat all these bots. They are mechanical robots nevertheless. Surely they will loose power and die naturally. I don't buy how these bots will live eternally in a human's body.
@@jimcowan6472 hated the ending. Bond has never given up. And that's what he basically did. Plus he works with some of the clevest minds in the world im sure they could have made a cure... but no he gave in, a move totally out of character. Its put a damper on the whole franchise for me.
@@Knightjonty4402 he was dead and he knew it. Nothing to be done.
I suspect that by the time they're ready to reboot the series most of our casting favorites will have aged out. The next bond is probably starring on a Disney channel property right now.
This is funny but I don't think they'd ever have an American Bond
If it were me, I’d go the X-Men First Class route…take it back to the 60s. My choice would be Finn Jones of Peaky Blinders and Animal Kingdom. The only draw back is now comparisons to Kingsman will probably be made…
Daniel Craig became an American citizen, so technically they already have
Bond knew he had to die in that way, basically be vaporised, as the danger to Madeline and Matilde isn’t just touching Bond it would be coming into contact with anyone and anything Bond would go onto touch for the rest of his life, that would also be lethal to them as we saw from Blofeld’s death after Bond touched Madeline and then went onto pass the Nanobots onto Blofeld. The only way Bond knew 100% that they would be safe is if he was completely obliterated.
If James was Mathilde's father the nanobots Satin injected him with couldn't kill Madeleine and Mathilde because they would have killed James immediately, so the nanobots must be a fake. And the last words of Madeleine to James "she has your eyes" confirmed him to be the father. So there was no need for him to die, he could have had a life with Madeleine and Mathilde.

But for you … as the nanobots affect the targeted person and his/her relatives there are only two possibilities:
1. if they don’t affect him but affect them Mathilde cannot be his daughter
2. if Mathilde is his daughter and the nanobots don’t affect him they cannot affect Mathilde because they are related and therefore cannot affect Madeleine because she is related to Mathilde.
@@achimwokeschtla7582 Wrong, they were genetically engineered from Madeline not James
@@achimwokeschtla7582 You're wrong. The DNA used was Madeline's, not James'. She's not related to him, so he didn't die. Mathilde has half her DNA so she would die. That's how DNA works.

I stayed to the very end of the credits. Everyone else had left the cinema, I was the last one. Just to see the the words "James Bond will return" :-)
I've watched every bond film in the cinema since my dad took me to see Live and let die. There are elements of the Bond films that actually make me emotional and give me goose bumps, such as the gun barrel sequence, the "James Bond theme", the names Bond etc. This includes the James Bond Will Return moment, now at the very end of the credits and waiting for it is an event in itself ( god help anyone, if they chose to squeeze past my seat at that moment lol) As someone who has grown up with Bond, these highlights are the film constants, no matter who plays 007, or how good or weak the story is and why I will never class "never say never again" as a Bond movie.
I was surprised that the end made me cry.. in fact I still get a bit emotional thinking about it writing this lol
It was the way James was taken aback by his daughter.. you could see how it penetrated his cold heart in a way that was profoundly life-altering.
When he told Madelaine she had created the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen.. awww I melted.

They killed him for sure. The end of the movie says James Bond will return instead of the usual “007 will return”. It was a fitting ending to the Craig Bond. His Bond by design was more like a mercenary/soldier than the tuxedoed martini drinking sophisticate of other Bonds
It has NEVER said “007 will return” at the end of one of the films. It has ALWAYS been “James Bond will return” The only change was not adding the name of the next film to be made as soon as they ran out of official Fleming material .
Damn!, come to think of it, they really did an ‘Endgame’ on this one..But then again James Bond will be back..
How’s him dying a fitting ending? They could’ve written a better ending for him where he gets to go home with his family. I think a happier ending would’ve definitely made the film better especially since it’s Daniel Craig’s last Bond movie.
@@ShaneYeBoy Nope the ending we got is perfect. If we had this exact same movie except he survives, it would've made no sense

James Bond is James Bond. He is a specific person. It’s not a name which can be transferred around.

She was used to remind bond of Vesper. And we saw how Bond could've kissed her at the end of the mission but he decided not too

This movie is more about James bond and very little about his mission. The villain character and his motivation was very weak.
Agree
I can't understand the people who say "Mimimi I don't like how sentimental Bond is and urgh he's got a daughter. I miss the cold hearted egoistic womanizer". Y'all forget that Craig's Bond is different since casino royale. He let women into his life and fell in love and with Madelaine he had a relationship. They probably f***** day and night. So, yes he can have a daughter. I like that they took a new turn and made Bond human. Made me more attached to his character to be honest.
At the end of the book 'You Only Live Twice' Bond has amnesia and lives for a while on a Japanese island. He has a relationship with Kissy and she falls pregnant. Bond leaves before she tells him of the pregnancy.
Yeah and look wtf happened in the end Smfh
Exactly. I’ve never cried so hard in my life after a film.
What a sad way to end the best, most physical Bond ever, in my opinion. Then, to even more bitter the sour apple, he has to die with a young daughter whom he never had the chance to father?? Incredible!!! No Bond has ever died…and it has to be Daniel Craig (arguably the best ever) to lose such a series virginity!!! Geez. Makes it difficult to rewatch the previous 4 (Casino Royale…Spectre). Maybe I’m too Pro-Bond.
Daniel Craig was never Bond. He is a Girly Man.
None of his villains are memorable . Best bonds : 1, Roger Moore (great wit .great villains ) 2. Timothy Dalton ( was too dark for the general public but was the truest Bond according to the novels (source : Roger Moore's book.... Bond on Bond) 3. Sean Connery (letdown by the technology of the 60's......... great Bond but the movies weren't as enjoyable) 4. George Lazenby (OHMSS was a good movie) 5. the downhill slide begins.......feminists, Girly Men Spies, female bosses...... Csino Royale didn't even play Bond Music.......Where's my Chunder Bucket?

This film was a blast to watch, my only gripe is Ana De Armas not showing up after the mission in Cuba because her character really stole the show in act one. I hope we get to see her again in a future 007 movie.
I know many think Bond is blown to smithereens at the end but you don’t actually see that it’s only a puff of smoke. He suffers severe injuries and amnesia is hidden on an island as a Japanese fisherman until his memory is jogged by a message from Russia. Sounds familiar...it’s the plot of you only live twice the novel by Ian Fleming
It's not "a puff of smoke". We clearly see Bond standing as the missiles impact right in front of him. Lots of missiles exploding about 10 feet in front of him and moving right up to his body as the screen goes white. He's dead. OK, we didn't have a shot of his severed head rolling along the ground but face the facts... he's dead.
@@wignallyt As soon as I get the Blu-ray I'm going to thoroughly analyse that bit in slomo. Don't be surprised if he's not dead...
As long as they don’t bring back drippy Madeline that would be ok by me!
You forget that he wanted to die. He was poisoned with a skin transmitted weapon that would target his the DNA of his lover and his child. It was unremovable, so he killed himself. If not for that, even with bullet wounds, he would’ve figured out a way to escape.
@@wignallyt exactly nobody could have survived that.
007 or James Bond can never be played by a female. Just don't pass it around. Just make another, stronger character for an actress to play.
Agree completely. OO7 is only for James Bond. Not a Charlie's Angel. We love him, not some pandering bs.
JB is a white male. Fleming clearly described his looks.
Connery, Lazenby, and Dalton looked the part.
Moore and Brosnan too pretty.
Craig was not even close, and he's a leftist.

You don't have the intelligence to understand the answer.
Bond is bond, but in these times everything must bow to the grand political agenda and every piece of media is to be propaganda.
Reasons why killing off James Bond was unforgivable.
1 - Bond's death is a *disrespectful* way to treat a character with a 59 year cinematic history. Barbara Broccoli was bequeathed the franchise and she should have the common decency to respect the character. She did a "screw you!" to the late Ian Fleming, her late father Albert Broccoli, and all the loyal fans whom have supported the franchise since 1962.
2 - The death is made more absurd by the end credits stating 'James Bond will return'... so the producers have their cake and eat it too. They get to kill off Craig's Bond and upset many Bond fans but then do the 180 degrees switch and say "not really, pay your cinema ticket to see Bond back in Bond 26!"
*You can't get more cynical film making than that.*
3 - Craig's Bond dying is *meaningless.* You know Bond will return (albeit rebooted) so the emotional impact of his death is undermined. Bond is dead, sob....and ten mins later "James Bond will return." It's a contrived death. We're told Bond will return. We're not told a new version will appear. It's James Bond. The death is a gimmick/ contractual contrivance to give Craig a reason not to do a sixth film. He probably agreed to do NTTD on the condition his Bond died at the end of the film.
This argument is dumb because Craig's Bond was never part of the other line of Bonds which was all one continuous timeline. Craig's Bond was a reboot, and now people are complaining that they're going to reboot it again? Nobody complains about the 20 Batman reboots.
I wasn't aware Batman died in his various reboots! Where is Batman's death?
@@bobsmithy9024 LOL. Comic book characters infamously die all the time, and then come back in various rebooted forms. We haven't seen much of that in comic book movies, but Marvel Studios is now starting to dip their toes into that part of comic book lore. People cried about the Lazenby reboot in the 60's, and now that movie is praised as being one of the best Bond movies.
Jesus, I bet you're a joy at parties.
You'll get over this Bonds death in a year or so, by which time the new 007 will be announced and you'll be excited again.
100% agree..
There are some lines you just dont cross, they did it..
As I watched the ending I was thinking, this is a joke.. they arent really doing this? and yep what a ridiculous death,
Bond is being splattered to pieces, and way to go you just made me feel more than a thousand times disappointed.
Im sorry but I dont like the times we are living in anymore..
it seems like everyone has lost their minds..
Such a rubbish ending. And that "Boss fight" between him and Saffin??!
wtf??? not even a lot of action.. Theres a reason Goldeneye is probably my favorite Bond film.
The part when the new 007 was about to get arrested in Cuba and then shot the power box was another subtle callback to casino royale when Craig did it in his opening scene
I've had time to stew on this and while the ending has it's flaws, it's the logical conclusion for the Craig era of Bond. Since from the word go to now, Craig's bond is a character wrapped in tragedy. He has been through a lot, lost a lot and seen a lot of darker side of things. To the point he doesn't trust very well, is heavily cynical and isn't afraid to take things well outside the realms of "legality". These traits make him an almost impossible man to be around, but also someone who has basically nothing to lose and everything to gain through his work as a 00. But we do see that he does let his guard down to let some people in his life, it's just they either break that trust or do something that makes Bond go back to his old ways.
Vesper, M, etc. People Bond respected and loved in one way or another, but did something that made him question that. But in the end, he still cares for these people. It's just those actions reminds him of why he is the way he is. And the few friends he DOES make, either betray him or get killed for him. So in the end, he finally found someone worth being with. Only he thought once again, he was being betrayed or worse by em. His old ways kicked in and that was EXACTLY what was expected of him. And that right there is the true tragedy of Craigs Bond, someone who can't trust due to his past, but still finds a reason to fight and live.
Him dying in the end is him coming to terms with himself. Learning to trust, seeking forgiveness and having something important to care for. It sucks, but it makes sense. Craig's Bond arc is done and he has reached his conclusion. So now it's time to move forward and see what the next Bond will have in store for us. After all.
"James Bond will return"
Still torn whether I liked the ending, Hans Zimmer pumped up the emotion
The ending was terrible for a Bond movie. Any other movie and it would have been fine. What are they suppose to do next since he is not around anymore?
I hated it. I still hate it. We need Bond.
@@bighands69 because these films have continuity thing, not like the older and boomer bonds.
@@NisseOhlsen there will be a Bond, a reboot new Bond. Daniel Craig can't play the character forever
@@bighands69 Nah, if they did this in Mission Impossible, then yes, that would (and should) kill the franchise. But Bond is a different animal. James Bond as a character has been recast so many times that with each actor is basically a different batch of movies. And it makes it seem that "James Bond" is really just a code name. Bond is one of the few franchises where killing him actually can work. With Craig, they did give him a backstory, sort of an arc as well.
I’d like to see the next Bond back in the 60’s. Cold War era stuff is great fun and I wouldn’t mind some of the more ridiculous aspects coming back, like volcano lairs.
This was easily one of my favourite Bond films. It's like what Casino Royale did for the first chapter in a new Bond, this film did for the last. They gave him what has never been possible in 60 years, due to Actors leaving over pay, due to producers getting mad about a few wrinkles, to lawsuits preventing new movies, the one thing that they could never do has finally been done: A conclusion. And it is beautiful for that
Yeah, pretty much every actor feels like they wanted to do more but had to leave because of superficial reasons so I’m glad at least one got to finish their story
The ending of the movie was weak as hell.
Now we have Bond the family and the producers are not going to forget that.
@@bighands69 We've had that for decades. You not remember James Bond Jr?
And anyway, this continuity is done now. The credits state "James Bond will return", not "007 will return", so it's a full reboot. It needed to be definitive otherwise it would have been the same as the other 6 times a run ended unceremoniously.
@@Lanosrep
A full reboot will mean every character has to be replaced. So do you think Amazon paid $8.5 billion to get access to the franchise to do that?
But this was different to the others they were just standalone missions for bond throughout his career with the same people playing bond in multiple films, this had an over arching story throughout his 5 films that's why it has a beginning with casino royale and an end with no time to die unlike the others.
Just found the channel, a great and funny review.
Personally, I could see Craig back in prequels but it's clear he's had his time and wants to move on. I actually felt that Bond was a bit more human in this last outing, we got to see more of Craig embracing Bond's age, lost love, he's made mistakes But then finding out he's a father now, it gives him something new to fight for. Great movie! I'd go and watch it again
Bond´s lover: You are father
Bond: MI6 I order airstrike on my location
The next one will probably be a continuity reboot. The codename idea is awful. Barbara Brocolli said: "James Bond is James Bond"
She says that now but has set up Bond to be just that. They even played around with the 007.
@@bighands69 they played around with 007, because 007 is just a number. A that's it! James Bond is the name, 007 is the code for his Licence to Kill-job. It's not a setup, it's the exact opposite: it try's to make it clear! Just like Skyfall did with the tombstone of his parents.
@@huubhuijbens8816 tell that to the number 42 in baseball
@@huubhuijbens8816 exactly. Remember Goldeneye? The main villain, Alec Trevelyan was designated 006
Honestly the best closing to Daniel Craig’s 007 performance. I grew up with Craig being 007 so he will forever be my Bond🤍
Sean Connery will always be Bond for me. I really liked Pierce Brosnan when he took over the mantle. What I appreciated about Craig was that his films went back to the tone of the source material without all the stupidness that had crept into the films. If you have read any of the books, Craig's Bond was probably the closest. The books were straight-ahead thrillers without all the gimmicks you see in the previous movies, more like the Craig movies. The Connery movies were also mostly without gimmicks which made them better than those that followed. Whoever takes the 007 mantle, I hope they keep the tone the same and stick to more a "realistic" format with the movies. I will say I am sick of studios continuously rebooting films. I refuse to watch the Batman and Superman movies just for that reason. Enough is enough.
I feel Craig was totally miscast from day one. Not remotely Bond to me. In a perverse way his death was the Craig not Bond brigade winning.
Go figure! Lol
I always thought Dalton was the closest to the book Bond
For me in my headcanon, The Rock movie by Micheal Bay is the ending for Sean Connery's James Bond.
Theres a whole theory on it on UA-cam.
@@Raul_Menendez I can see that. I really like that movie.
@@eachasteriod1334 You are correct.... Dalton was the closest as far as the character in the books. But Connery was the best actor for the role.
Finally saw this movie last night! My heart is broken. I kept thinking but there’s no time to die 🥺😢
Total Agreement with your assessment. Well Said in covering all key areas!!!!!!!!!
I was emotional from the moment Felix died, great movie and the 5 Craig movies are a great stand alone story of Bond, my era started with Roger Moore and the brilliant The Spy Who Loved Me but some later movies were weak and then Brosnan rebooted it all and was great but again some weaknesses (DAD!), then there was Daniel Craig and the brilliant Casino Royale and a post Bourne Bond and this is the best place to leave it, I wouldn’t mind the 007 mantle carrying on post Bond and even the odd stand alone movie of Bond’s past but the legacy is there now and doesn’t need any more
💯💯💯
Don't worry about Felix, he'll wake up in Westworld with no memory of ever being a spy in the CIA :)
Felix Leiter character was around since the old James Bond novel by Ian Fleming.
Was it "Thunderball" , "the Man with the Golden Gun' or "Live and Let Die" did Felix came in ? No disrespect, I thought the original Felix was not an Afro-American.
@@anwaarmohd6498 I think Felix was in the original and first book but I’m not sure which movie he was first in, it was just sad to see his demise
In this one, bond did not fake his death. You literally see the missles explode all around him and he goes down with the explosions. He's dead now. Personally I thought this wasn't his best film. But it was still alright
Casino Royale and Skyfall were his best
I think that even though it may not of been the best, the ending was fit for a man that saved the world. He took his own life the most fitting way, by doing what he does best and saving the world. I understand it’s an ending for got a bond film, just not the ending we all wanted.
@@lucasbrown5300 I don't even think he died for much of a good reason. The whole franchise is him being bulletproof and one guy can suddenly shoot him. Also he could continue living in the world without seeing his wife or child until they find a solution. It wasn't a very fulfilling ending to me. He could've died in a much more badass way taking out the villain. Also the villain motive was pretty poor for me.
This was easily Craig’s best one IMO
It's a disgrace to the Bond franchise.....as simple as that
2:21 a heavy spoilers video is incomplete without Mephisto or a Patrick Stewart(Playing Piccard from star trek) cameo!!
And Lucas's It's like poetry, they rhyme lol! ;)

Great analysis mate. Yeah, an impressive movie, I wish I'd left it to watch on Christmas Day. One thing to remember, it's only a fricking James Bond movie :)
I never expected that anyone would adapt Metal Gear Solid 4 into a Bond film... wild.
4 had nanobots…. Did it have dna targeting killer nano-bots?
@@BartvG88 that's literally what foxdie is
@@BartvG88 yes, it did
I always felt that Bond should remain in the 60's, using tech we're familiar with in a modern time, incidentally the Russia from love console game from a few years back had some interesting ideas, imagine if Kevlar was woven into all of Bond's clothing, all those assassins coming for him and none even come close to putting a bullet on him, now Bond can be shot and still get up and fight the good fight. Check out the game it's a lot of fun
Agreed, I'm hoping the franchise reboots in the 60's. I liked the movie and honestly of any of the Bond's to kick the bucket Craig's makes the most sense as his tenure has pretty clearly been a reboot that's very self contained. Just hoping the vitriol online doesn't increase to TLJ levels, light entertainment should never cause people to send death threats and personally affronted by a movie of all things.
Here's a better idea; stop hiring directors who want to "subvert expectations", and embrace the classic Bond tropes instead of running away from them.
I would love it to be a 60's period piece but it becomes very problematic for the producers when you're making films of this scale. Every car, street, plane, boat etc has to be period which is not possible without tons of CGI or ridiculous expense. It's easier for tv to do that because it's on a smaller scale production wise.
Love that video game and want to see Henry Cavill play Bond set back in the 1960's
@@nicknewman7848 I think you've answered your question here, it's like the difference between the original Star Wars trilogy and the prequels, episodes 4-6 have lots of close ups on just 2-3 actor's physical backgrounds, practical effects, 3d models and traveling matte, the drama is taught and realistic, episodes 1-3 have so much unnecessary world building and spectacle that almost all of the acting comes off as wooden, there's very little actual drama present ( that said 100% better than episodes 7-9). If Eon pictures go for Henry cavill as Bond it'll probably be on the back of his Man from UNCLE, you almost don't notice it's set in the 60's and then of course Mission Impossible too! Bond playing golf with Goldfinger, the tense drama between Bond and Red Grant, any creeping around in the dark from any of the movies all very cheap to create and film.
Where Bond resides in Jamaica is actually Goldeneye Estate, where Ian Fleming lived. That’s a nice touch.
I thought so!!!!
I watched the movie last night, 13 days after it opened in the UK and I loved it. I've seen each film in the franchise at least 3x each time over the last 4 decades. I would recommend it to anyone. The story telling has leapt to sheer brilliance from the writerthe character developments is brilliant the stunts and gadgets are as always in a different league to most movies.
Brilliant review mate. You’ve helped me to make sense of this film. From Manchester with Love !
I'm not sure why everyone is so mad that Bond died?
To me, whenever the character changed actor it was like a reboot/different Bond universe. Craig Bond was the only one who actually had a movie arc. He wasn't even a 00 in Casino Royale at the start. Another actor can easily be cast and they just start again as they did and have done for 50+ years 🙃
I liked the ending myself and will happily wait the 5 odd years till the next one
They've never gone as far as killing him though. You don’t kill the character of your franchise, by all means change the lead actor as they've always done but you don’t kill him. Another point is that these incarnations of M, Moneypenny, Tanner and Q have mourned his passing. This means that to start again we need new actors for those roles too. I was ready to say goodbye to Craig but not Fiennes, Whishaw, Harris too! The film was enjoyable as a film but not as part of the Bond franchise IMO.
@@NerdGirlUK I agree, I mean killing superman is not the same as killing James Bond, i think this is a pretty bold move. I though the child was already a stretch but dying took it to another level for me. Will I like was is coming next? Lot of questions. but in this movie eh went from saving the world to a father who is saving his daughter..... again mixed emotions.
Well, James Bond isn't supposed to die. He's just not. He always survives, because he's basically superhero. Killing Bond ruins the mystery
@@NerdGirlUK ah man for 50 years of bond why not? Why does it have to follow the same formula every single time. Its nice to see something completely different.
I think we gathered that I guess we just wanted to see bond have a good ending where he retires with his family and to see him die on the god damn roof of a building
The ending was a really big shocker for me, That of all bond movies the girl dies, but at this Bond dies. and feels a little bad over it. Really like the relationship they had and hoped for a much happier ending. But absolutely Craig's best bond! Wish that he didn't get the nanobots and they just vanished and live their new life and forget about everything with violence
He probably survived the missals land in front of him they don’t actually hit him so he could have survived
Since Craig's Bond was the prequel Bond, if his daughter becomes the new James (Jamie) Bond looking for revenge, I'm out.
James Bond was great while it lasted.
All the villains, are dead. So there can be no revenge
His daughter is called mat.... something
You are not the only to be out....there are many,many others....this movie is a total disaster...
Thanks for your review & video, very helpful. Daniel Craig imo is the best Bond. He was very different than all the others.
The One glaring problem for why it could have had a happier send off raising his child and a life with Madeline is the watch. Maybe a second viewing would confirn for me if it was a one time use. But I half expected Q to realize an EMP pulse would disable the nanobots. Unless of course the bots had chips shielded from EMP damage as was developed in "A View To A Kill." Of course, you would think the facility in Cevernaya (sp?) would have been shielded like the Tiger helicopter as that chip tech would probably have been the standard after 10 years to withstand a blast from Goldeneye. But I digress. That third act needed a lot more polishing as I didn't understand why the guy went from wanting to kill Spectre to full on destroying the world. But anyhow, unless I can get some clarification on my EMP plotpoints I'll always feel it could have had a "The Dark Knight Rises" kind of ending.
@James Owle, I totally agree with you. Bond could have had a "happy" ending like in TDKR. For me, they have spoiled the future of this franchise.
i would absolutely love a reboot with henry cavill :) if I'm honest he would make the best modern day bond
Just watched the movie and I can’t help but think the ending of this movie reminds me of Hero. The way the rockets split and killed Bond makes me think of the arrows killing Jet Li.
Ok. I’m not gonna lie, the Goldeneye was actually a good one. Movie just released in the US. Man this movie took me on a rollercoaster of emotions. A+ from me though. Just witnessed some of the best action sequences in the entire franchise. And I’d say cinematically speaking, this was the most beautiful Bond film in the franchise. Sapphin was in the upper tier of villains but nothing too notable, and I think that has something to do with screen time. Man what a fitting ending to this story arc. Sad one too. Total reboot happening now.
No Time To Die was a film with such amazing cinematography and action sequences because of its amazing director Cary Joji Fukunaga, who also directed the entire 1st season of the True Detective series that starred Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.
Loved the locations, cinematography. Had great new stadium lazyboy seats for the 2:42 min movie. Brought lots of snacks and a good date. I missed not going to the movies during pandemic. 1st time back. Will do it again n get. The blueray version when it comes out.😍😎

There are at least few possibilities for the series to continue: (1) Bond isn't dead and neither is Blofeld. The story continues. (2) Most of the movies are going to be made again as of being told by Madeleine Swann to her daughter.
As for option (1) it has to be stated that in this movie it was Blofeld himself who had the ‘vision required’ for the use of the DNA weapon. This would implicate that Blofeld would somehow successfully staged his death as like he would have known what is coming to him and created a backdoor for the virus for example.
As for option (2), James Bond will return, as said in the end of the movie. My best guess is, after seeing all the movies for at least 10 times and reading every single novel and book, that it is now the time for some remakes of the old Bond movies. Not my preferred choice, but as of the production point of view there is much money to be made for the shareholders. I also regard remakes as an option if you first consider that Amazon made a deal with MGM and then recall what Amazon made to Hercule Poirot.
Now let’s discuss a little about the scenes and the plot. The strangling of Blofeld and the pregnancy of Madeleine was probably taken from the novel 'You Only Live Twice'. In the novel it was Kissy Suzuki that was carrying Bond’s child. What comes to the death of James Bond in ‘No Time To Die’, it is only the best guess that the character really died. As it was pointed out, no body of dead 007 (Graig) were shown in the movie. Now when it comes to this pure science fiction ‘DNA weapon’, I consider it to be one of the silliest things in Bond series after ‘the invisible car’ and the ‘particle cannon’ seen in the 2002 movie ‘Die Another Day’. SPECTRE was suddenly congregated and was vulnerable to all attacks. Albeit it was mentioned in the previous 2015 movie ‘SPECTRE’ that the group hardly ever meet. For me it stands out that the whole SPECTRE as an organization was portrayed as if it was a bunch of some second-rated side characters ready to die in the first scene after one minute and a few magazines of ammo.
Daniel Greg started an era of James Bond. The 2006 movie ‘Casino Royale’ was the prequel of this era, the Bond movies itself and the books. All the movies after Casino Royale (2006) then followed in one straight continuum. The problematics appear as there was only a 5-year gap between the first Matera scene after Bond thought Madeleine was involved in SPECTRE’s plot at the grave of Vesper Lynd. If this is considered, most of the Bond movies would have to be happened between this period of time. Even if we agree that this was the end of Blofeld as it was in the book ‘You Only Live Twice’ and everything would have happened in this time gap, there still would be ‘The Man With The Golden Gun’.
All in all, so much different things critical for the myth arc of the series were put into this one movie and most of the well-known characters died. Felix Leiter’s death could be in one movie. The destruction of SPECTRE in another, if ever. Bond’s destiny. But no. All this in one movie. For me it was a "plenty o’toole" for one movie.
When all is said and done, I’d like to conclude that this was a pretty decent story and movie. The mind plays tricks with us as our most beloved hero is maybe gone. This combined with the fact that Bond has (present tense as everything is open) a beautiful wife and a child showed us the true emotional power of the movies. We all want a good beginning that makes a good ending. That’s what makes us human. Cheers for @Heavy Spoilers for the review. Keep the British end up, sir!
I'm fairly sure (1) is what's going to happen. Bond returns in the next film, having escaped from the ultimate deathtrap by some complex pseudo-technical means. The Bond films are never limited by what is possible for a human in a given situation, the franchise is huge business and Bond is the main reason for its existence, so the producers and distributors are not going to kill off James Bond or make a total break with Fleming's white British spy character.
Madeleine Swann (nice Proust reference there, I spotted it as soon as I saw her in Spectre) will not be a major character in the next film - she will be written out of the story in some way or pushed to the margins. No Bond girl, IIRC, before her has actually appeared in two different 007 films as the same character.
I am going to give away my age with this comment. I grew up during the Roger Moore era, and there was a built-in expectation that any actor was just a temporary custodian of the character (especially clear during the "Never Say Never" mess) and another one will pick up the mantle. Therefore, I found it regrettable that they've killed off the character at the end of Craig's run. For me, it's such a fun guilty pleasure franchise, over the top, and fun escapist experience. Don't need him to mirror reality, don't need for Bond to age, experience parenthood, or teach any moral lesson. The world we live in is full of drama, conflict, and discourse, this was a for a time, a chance to enjoy a 90+ minute reverie. Daniel Craig was great, so much fun in this role, it's a shame for me that the character ends and becomes an absentee father.
I seem to be at the same age like you. TSWLM was my first Bond movie, seen years after it debuted.
For NTTD I feel in a completely other way. Craig's Bond is (and was always) different and I love the twists here. This IS Craig's OHMSS!
@@petereggers7603 I am not surprised, I am clearly in the minority, it is what it is, it has ended.

It is quite “cheap” to kill off a character in order to soak tissue. As Billy Wilder says, the brilliant thing is “to have the hero climb a tree, set the tree on fire, and to bring him back to safety convincingly.”
Well, contracts govern all this stuff. Besides, he’s been brought back from burning trees safely for quite a while, only way to reduce stagnation is by making him fall out the tree to his death as a lesson for him for always getting into burning trees in the first place.
Who gives a fuck what Billy Wilder said. It was sad and I was emotional but now they can reboot the franchise, it was a good movie even if it didn't follow the guidelines of fucking Billy Wilder
Movie was great, just came out on prime, watched it again! Thanks for the review.
the movie was honestly incredible, I really loved paloma and would love to see her comeback in a show or movie!

Well done. Every James Bond title used in this. And used well. Cheers.
I cried. I really liked it . Loved the tie ins with , Her majesty's secret service so should've known what was coming knowing that movie.
Seen it twice now. Feels more like a love story , which isn’t a bad thing.
It’s def far from a perfect movie. It’s the 3rd best out of the Craig run. But in my opinion casino royale and skyfall are miles ahead of this movie.
@@blankname6629 I agree with you on all points. The next one has to be a bit harder, tougher, rougher.
“If her secret finds it’s way out, that would be the death of you”
After I watched the movie I still had no clue what the secret was
@@marinatedweasel5424 safin killed her mother? That's the secret. 😂
@@marinatedweasel5424 because you didn’t watch it.
I took it as she new who safin was because of her childhood or the fact that bond had sent her away while she was pregnant
@@atwunz well the way the “secret” was framed made it seem like she actually did something instead of her mother just being killed which doesn’t really seem like it would be the “death” of bond
Love your pun’s. That was great how you did all of the bonds..
9 out of 10 I loved it. Can't wait for it to come out in bluray. Thanks for the video.
Were the nanites microscopic robots? If so, shouldn't have/couldn't have an electromagnetic pulse disabled them?
Do not think you will destroy it.
@CEO of Secularism not the only. The film was okay but the ending is just awful. They killed Bond with the lazyest plotholes. He asked for rockets. Okay but why? The packing taking time, they could rocketing the ships and many other opportunities. The gunshots are bad but maybe he could survive that.
I definitively was expecting that!
Those nanites must have little Duracell Bunnies in them , as they were suppose to last for ever!
iOi Interactive that makes the Hitman games is also now working on a Bond game. I assume it would hit before they reboot the films. I think they’re making their own Bond not based on the film iterations.
film is a masterpiece and a homage to Craig bond and all hes achieved. 9.2/10
I would say 8.1/10
I really enjoyed your video. I haven't seen the film yet, but I'm definitely looking forward to seeing it now!
Personally, Daniel Craig's run as Bond should be removed from cannon.
Although I didn't mind him in the last 2 movies.. It is sacrilegious and anticlimactic to the title of the movie to kill off the main character and still have the nerve to say "James Bond will return"
I honestly think that this was the last James Bond movie that I will watch.
Since there are no more books to base the movies on the production team has lost their way.
4 out of 10 from me
I’m a huge fan of the franchise, but if James Bond is really dead, then they should end the story. It’s was a satisfying end. If people want a female or black character, then by all means start a spin off or a new character.
I’m confused by the “James Bond Will Return” because we have just watched him die. I hope they leave James Bond there and finalise the story after 60 years. I’d happily watch a new spin off with Nomi, but don’t rewrite who James Bond was
Pretty much my thoughts. No need to tweak the formula much. Just let Nomi do what Bond usually did (more or less). I'd watch that.
Identity politics with bond having a daughter. What happened to the James bond jr
THEY WILL REBOOT with new bond
Nah I’m looking forward to a new bond in 7 years
Don't care how you dress it up. No Time to Die has just killed the James Bond franchise.
Agree. In a good way though. IMO
If it ends here. There wasnt ever a bad bond movie. Some that were worse than others, but no bad ones. I think they can only fuck it up from here.
@Theomen Thorne no idea, im not really informed in the financial aspects of movies
Every Bond should have their own universe in my opinion.
Love all the puns! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤙🏼
