No Time To Die - October 8, 2021

Final Daniel Craig Bond movie sounds like it's well received by critics. I'll be sad to see him go, he's been a great actor for the role.

Daniel Craig: ‘I hope Bond’s changed a lot while I’ve been part of him’
In a quickfire interview with GQ, Daniel Craig speaks about his favourite Bond gadgets, the injuries he sustained in the line of duty and what he hopes his legacy as the world’s most famous spy will be

“Doing No Time To Die was a chance to wrap up all the loose ends and finish what I’d started 15 years ago [in Casino Royale],” Craig explained in response to a question about what motivated him to come back for one final film, despite having announced in 2015 that he wanted to put an end to his time in the role.

“I hope [Bond’s] changed a lot while I’ve been part of him,” Craig continued. “What I’ve always tried to do is never judge him. He’s flawed, and his attitude towards the world and towards women is questionable, and I think that’s interesting. The way we’ve tried to deal with it is to cast as many strong female characters as possible, and for him to go up against those people.”

In No Time To Die, Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.

Went and saw it this past weekend. Movie pace was good, action was fun, but the plot had a few glaring holes (seriously, using an EMP pulse doesn't knock out your own ear piece/communications with Q on a circling plane? Come on) and the ending left a bad taste.

Highlight of the movie was Ana de Armas as a new CIA agent kicking ass in high heels and a sweet dress, and Lashana Lynch as Bond's replacement. Hope to see both of them continue in future films.
