NO TIME TO DIE:
All good things come to an end. Unfortunately so is Daniel Craig’s run as James Bond. But, before he exits and gives up his 007 license, Craig leaves in a blaze of glory in No Time To Die. Craig is fantastic, as always, but something about his final appearance as Bond is extra special and it’s evident in his performance.
No Time To Die is also a really good movie in its own right. Ton of Bond action and exhilarating sequences. Rami Malek is deviously outstanding and one of the better Bond villains of recent memory. Maybe it’s just the fan in me, but I enjoyed every minute of the 2 hour and 43 minute runtime, and wanted more.
Bond fans will obviously see this, but this movie is one of the year’s best. It was certainly worth the wait as an end of an era comes to a close.
