No Time to Die

No Time to Die, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 2021. Accessed October 2021 |
James Bond returns! This movie finally came out after being delayed multiple times for over a year. In Daniel Craig's last outing as 007, he brings it big time in this action-packed and gorgeous-looking addition to the Bond Franchise. Running extremely long at nearly three hours, No Time to Die is a surprisingly emotional climax to this iteration of the character.
This movie is epic. So big, so fun, and so thrilling. The cast is stacked with the return of my man Hans Landa, also Lea Seydoux, Lashana Lynch, and Rami Malek. Everyone does great, and especially for the action. The effort put into the action is definitely visible, from both a camera directing and stunts standpoint. One of the best chase scenes, fight scenes in any Bond movie 100%. The ending is wonderful, but I can't say anything.
While this movie does a really good job at entertaining you and also being beautiful to look at, some aspects of the story were a bit flat. For example, the villain played by Malek was very stereotypical and they didn't really do a great job at making us understand him and his motivations. The details of the plot and deadly weapon were also easy to get confused in, but luckily, like a lot of these spy movies you didn't really need to understand those super-specific details.
To sum up this movie it was pretty much an average script, with a sick ending, that was complimented with legendary filmmaking. If that makes sense. Also, another issue was that Ana Da Armas's character was not in it for long enough. She was so cool. Overall a fantastic ride, and a must-see. Definitely worth your precious time.
