No Time to Die

7.6/10 stinky bananas

Good, but not great, finale to the Daniel Craig James Bond movies.

The Bond song stinks out loud. Plain and simple.

The action scenes throughout the movie are quite good. The forest, the boat, and the Spectre party are all solid James Bond action sequences. But everything else is pretty boring.

I didn’t particularly care for Rami Malek’s villain. I definitely didn’t care for the DNA bio weapon flower poison thingamajig. Also, Ana de Armas is in the movie for 5 seconds. What the hell is that all about? Great actress playing a likable character and her part in the movie was over in the blink of an eye, never to be seen again.

With that being said, the grand finale of No Time to Die is pretty damn good. The stairwell one-shot action sequence is excellent. Great fighting and Bond explodes a guy’s head using a watch. Can’t get much better than that.

Most importantly, they give an all time great James Bond a fitting send off. Very emotional.

Spoiler alert.

THEY FUCKING BLOW JAMES BOND TO SMITHEREENS. Holy mother of God. It was shocking to say the least. Bond never dies. He literally escapes imminent death 25 times each movie. Not this time folks. They blow him up with 15 rockets; rockets that were sent by the MI6 no less. Geez Louise.

No Time to Die is definitely worth a watch. No need to go spending extra money to watch it though. Wait for it to come out on a streaming service or something. Or do what you want, it’s your life.
