Review of No Time to Die (2021) by Htgamer — 09 Oct 2021
No Time to Die is one of the best James Bond movies of all time.
The latest entry in the James Bond series is quite unlike any other Bond movie before. This is no happy-go-lucky, nor another survive-from-a-gunfight-without-a-scratch movie. There is personal drama and real relationships at stake. The James Bond character is not only vulnerable but also the most human-like it has been since Casino Royale. You have never seen James Bond caring about a kid's lost stuffed toy, but you see him do exactly that in this movie for the first time.
The plot is -as usual- about an extravagant villain with an army and an elaborate plan to conquer the world. There are plenty of twists and turns, several characters from previous Daniel Craig movies return, and there are nods from older films, particularly "On Her Majesty's Secret Service".
The action is great, the impossible stunts are ever-present, and the chase sequences are fantastic as always.
Most of the actors do a great job in their roles. But the villain's role (played by Rami Malek) wasn't nearly as well-written as the rest of the characters. It needed more fleshing out. The Lyutsifer Safin character is the only weak aspect of this great movie.
The Daniel Craig era is over, and his James Bond literally goes out with a bang. I hope MGM will choose carefully whom they cast in the role to succeed Craig, and I hope they don't ruin it by casting someone with just political correctness in mind.
