No Time to Die

"The idea of Daniel Craig's run coming to an end, my favorite Bond of all time, was very bittersweet… Daniel Craig has, I think, made perhaps the best final film in a James Bond actor's tenure."

- Chris Stuckmann

Plot
James Bond is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica after leaving active service. However, his peace is short-lived as his old CIA friend, Felix Leiter, shows up and asks for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond on the trail of a mysterious villain who's armed with a dangerous new technology.

Why There's Just No Time to Die

 * 1) Daniel Craig's final outing as James Bond, whom he has played since 2006's Casino Royale, was a nice send-off for his era.
 * 2) Cool acting from Daniel Craig, Rami Malek, Ana de Armas, Léa Seydoux, Jeffrey Wright, and Lashana Lynch.
 * 3) *Their characters do a really good job throughout the whole movie, and have very good character development.
 * 4) *Safin, despite not interacting with Bond a lot in the film, is a ruthless terrorist who is blames SPECTRE and society for the deaths of his family members. His plan of wanting to kill millions of innocent people with nanobots makes him fearful to the audience. Especially when wearing his opera mask!
 * 5) *Madeline Swann gets more to do than Spectre.
 * 6) *Paloma is an awesome character who helps Bond.
 * 7) *Nomi is a very good character and she even shares Bond's codename.
 * 8) *To compensate for their absence in post-Quantum of Solace, several characters, like Felix Leiter, makes a return.
 * 9) *Valdo Obruchev is an amazing rogue scientist. His creation and vision to use the nanobots is very original and the revelation that he's working for Safin was executed out very well. In addition, his cowardliness when it comes to trying to get out of uncomfortable situations, is very hilarious.
 * 10) *Primo is a great henchman whose assassination skills are similar to those of other henchmen in the Daniel Craig Bond era, like Patrice and Mr. Hinx from Skyfall and Spectre respectively.
 * 11) Hans Zimmer's score is perfect.
 * 12) *Even Billie Eilish's song of the same name as this movie is very beautiful to listen to. It is very dramatic and fits the tone of the movie.
 * 13) The action scenes and the fight scenes are still awesome, even more than that.
 * 14) James Bond's death at the end is really sad and emotional, even though some viewers may not have expected it. Same for Felix Leiter's death earlier on.
 * 15) Great cinematography.
 * 16) The pacing is well-done and definitely improves from the previous film Spectre.
 * 17) Nice filming locations.
 * 18) Cool title sequence, which references On Her Majesty's Secret Service a little bit.
 * 19) The secondary villains are also pretty decent, like Logan Ash (who pretended to be an ally) and Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
 * 20) The gunbarrel at the beginning of the movie looks quite cool, and is nice to take a break from the blood dropping, although the lack of blood could be seen as a foreshadowing to Bond's death.
 * 21) It's nice to hear "We Have all the Time in the World" at the end credits, which is a neat reference to On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
 * 22) The plot is very good and interesting.
 * 23) Just like Spectre, the film makes great references to past Bond films.
 * 24) The scene watching Bond preparing breakfast for Mathilde was so touching to watch. It was the one and only time we got to see him be a father.
 * 25) Some of the dialogue is memorable, such as:
 * 26) *I'm not just a Double 0. I'm 007.
 * 27) *THERE IS NO ELEVATORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
 * 28) *We all have our secrets, we just didn't get to yours yet.
 * 29) *Die Blofeld die!
 * 30) *Tanner, don't lecture me!
 * 31) *I do not regret a single moment of my life that I spent with you, except putting you on that train.
 * 32) *Do you know what time it is? Time to die.
 * 33) *I have to finish this...for us.
 * 34) *I wasn't looking over my shoulder.
 * 35) *Life is all about leaving something behind.
 * 36) *The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
 * 37) *If we don't do this, there'll be nothing left to save.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Unfortunately, for all the primary antagonists like Valdo, Primo, and Safin (the big bad in this film!), none of them really threaten Bond as much as compared to any previous installment. This can be quite a letdown because the only characters who seem to threaten him the most are nameless characters like the goons of Safin or SPECTRE.
 * 2) Valdo Obruchev can come off quite unlikable at certain parts of the movie. Like when he was introduced in the MI6 lab, he tells his coworkers that there's more complexity in his tomato soup than in both of their brains combined. He then proceeded to say that he would put Ebola in their tea and watch their faces sweat blood (although people can argue that he probably said that just as a joke, but still). Later on, he threatened Nomi about using the nanobots to wipe out her entire race all over the world, proving that he's a racist! Thus, when Nomi kills him, most of us would feel like he had it coming.
 * 3) Paloma disappears for the rest of the movie, after Bond's mission in Cuba, leaving the fate of her character unknown.
 * 4) The runtime is a bit too long at 163 minutes (2 hours and 43 minutes).
 * 5) Sometimes, the pacing can drag.
 * 6) Some viewers can be underwhelmed by Bond's death at the end.
