Review of No Time to Die (2021) by Bosili — 15 Oct 2021

An epic and worthy ending to Daniel Craig's era in the franchise. M, Q, Moneypenny and Felix are as brilliant as ever, and the new characters played by Ana de Armas and Lashana Lynch fit perfectly in the movie.

These characters are very likeable, and so are the villains. "No time to die" is a perfect mixture of beautiful settings and photography, first-class acting, a smart script and the most Bond-like soundtrack in many years.

Even though pace can be tricky in a 2:43 hour long action movie, every scene contributes with either entertainment for the audience or meaning to the story. I enjoyed every line and every shot fired. Daniel Craig's last interpretation of James Bond also show how much the character has evolved throughout the years.

As a 00-agent in his 50s, he probably knows he has outlived himself. There seem to be a lot going on in his head, and Daniel Craig portrays this beautifully. Craig's last and slightly older version of James Bond is both tough and experienced but also wise and sensitive, naturally, after all he has been through.

All this makes "No time to die" one of the most interesting and intriguing Bond movies ever, even though "Skyfall" remain my personal favorite.
