No Time To Die (James Bond) [DVD] [2021]

I enjoyed watching James Bond series. The DVD is great.

Brilliant film

Firstly, I bought the blu ray version of this movie with my own money and this is an unbiased review almost purely to counter the strangely high numbers of reviews from Daily Mail readers. Let’s set the stall out early - Daniel Craig is the best Bond to have ever walked the hallowed halls of MI6, and this movie is up there with Casino Royale and Skyfall as one of the better entries of the best Bond series. If your favourite Bond movies are your favourites mainly because they feature only a cast dominated by white Anglo Saxon males where the only female characters exist purely to look pretty and worship our hero, then this isn’t the movie for you. If you prefer the Bond movies where black characters only exist as baddies and/or comic relief, then again, this isn’t the movie for you. If however you are happily living with the rest of us in the 21st century, and would like to see a movie representative of the diverse society and audience that will be watching it, here’s the Bond you’ve been waiting for. Just imagine a Bond with emotional depth! And imagine a Bond movie featuring not only strong female characters, and not only strong black characters, but with strong black female characters! I realise this is froth at the mouth stuff for some Bond traditionalists but who cares about that lot, this is real progress and progress is great. It’s almost like new things get better than old things or something. Anyway where was I? Oh yes the movie - good story, which brings a satisfying end to the story arc commenced in Casino Royale, and which isn’t afraid to dwell on downer moments - anyone who thought the ending to Rogue One was satisfying will find a lot to like here. Daniel Craig has always brought much more to his version of Bond than just silly eyebrows and irritating smugness and he continues the character development started in 2006 through to its logical conclusion. The action sequences, while the movie relies much less on them than some earlier entries in the series, are superb - the late, long track one take sequence up a flight of stairs is reminiscent of the opening scene of Spectre and the one-take sequence in Extraction, while the final scenes are spectacularly shot. It’s a beautiful movie visually. Sure some of the dialogue feels a little cheesy at times but there’s nothing even close to Christmas coming more than once a year or whatever rubbish we had to put up with in the later Brosnan movies. It’s a really enjoyable movie and a fitting end to a great series of Bond films. Daniel Craig has set the bar very high and has been a wonderful, and in my eye the definitive, James Bond. Thank you for your service Mr Craig.

When I first watched this film, I felt let down by shoddy pacing at times, villian motivations I didn't think were up to snuff for a movie of this caliber and an on-screen romance that, for me, just didn't work in terms of chemistry. This was reflected in my original review which prior to edit, was around three stars. Whilst I still think this way, I think this deserves to be looked at edit wise after watching again. From an over-arching narrative stand-point and factoring in Craig's continuity as a whole? I think this film is a beautiful send off to a beloved depiction of Bond that overcame adversity through it's first outing. Craig surprised many, and his range is remarkable. He's able to nail the quick wit, even if it isn't as charming as Moore or Brosnan. He nails the stoic and strong aspect of Connery and Dalton. He's a wonderfully mixed package, and I truly appreciate what he did for this franchise. Narratively, the film suffers from a longer run time that is unjustified due to the poor villain. That said, the tone of film and it's themes are on point. The idea of the old guard being replaced by the new is a poignant one, and although I found Lynch's character annoying on my initial watch, I appreciate her more on the second, as she serves to highlight just how good Bond was and still is, reminding us that new doesn't always equate to better. This doesn't undo her competence as an agent, it simply serves to shine a light on Bond's resilience over time. The music is on point, the cinematography is amazing, set-pieces strong and the opening scene especially is absolutely incredible, arguably one of the best in any Bond movie, period. The ending, coupled with Hans Zimmer's music which, although not particularly complex, was one that brought me to an emotional standstill. I definitely felt a tear running down my cheek. It's hard for any media to get me that way, but Hans Zimmer has always been rather good at evoking strong emotions in his scores for me. Whether it's Inception, Interstellar or No Time to Die, he's a masterclass and the way the scene is written and shot is beautiful. This is a character that many thought would die off and be a relic of a bygone era, only to stand the test of the time for 60+ years and whilst the runs haven't always been perfect, we're lucky to have had him around this long I think. Whilst there was no excuse for Spectre's shortcomings and Quantum had it's issues, I think NTTD is a fitting end to Craig's arc as James Bond. A strong send off for what many will view as their first bond. Dalton will always be my favourite of whom I wish we had more of, but, perhaps controversially, Craig has overtaken Brosnan as my second favourite depiction of Bond. Worth every penny.

Good movie . Little different from usual James Bond movies .Though Daniel Craig looks older for the role , Director Cary Fukunaga managed with thrilling action cinematographic scenes and secenic locations .

ALLA James Bond filmerna är bra

Vendeur très arrangeant

Für mich ist der bislang letzte BOND - Film mit Daniel Craig "No time to die" der beste einer Reihe von insgesamt 25 Filmen, fünf von Daniel Craig. Ein Substantiv fällt mir dabei ein: Demut nach Wiki eine wertschätzende Haltung, die eigene Unvollkommenheit anerkennt, ohne den eigenen Selbstwert zu schmälern. Daniel zeigt demütiges Verhalten als Rentner. Nach seiner temporären Rückkehr aus dem Dienst. Nach dem Diebstahl der Biowaffe und der todsicheren Rezepte der Gifte und der Bedrohung der Welt. Last not least nach dem Start der todsicheren Raketen, denen er selber dann zum Opfer fiel, um seine Familie zu retten.

Ottimo articolo e rapporto qualità-prezzo davvero eccellente. Adesso ho completato la collezione di Bond 👍
